If anyone tries to convince you that you can judge a teacher's effectiveness or you can help a teacher improve her teaching without observing that teacher in
a normal classroom situation that person knows little or nothing about teaching.
While some teachers carved out time to listen to students who needed an ear right away, either in
classroom conversation or one - to - one, others kept the day's routine as
normal as possible to give their students the opportunity to take their minds off the
situation.
