Teachers are most often evaluated and prepared in measurable and quantifiable skills despite the fact that teachers' dispositions are a vital component of effective teaching. Rick Wormeli's article in the ASCD lists 7 habits of highly affective teachers. Note the emphasis on affective teachers and not effective teachers. Wormeli makes the case that positive affects in a teacher are important for any classroom to be emotionally healthy. In his article he lists 8 habits (adding one bonus habit to his list of seven):
Find joy in others' success
Cultivate perspective and reframe
Ditch the easy caricature
Explore the ethics of teaching
Embrace humility
Value intellect
Maintain passion and playfulness
Self-renew
