If you sincerely like people and work to fit in, you're more than halfways a good teacher here. Often, a lot of good stuff follows from these fundamental characteristics. Easy going, punctual, creative, hard working, quick thinking, NOT self-absorbed, and you are a golden teacher.

Yes. True good advice in every detail.

Just teach them the best you can and as you're more experienced you will get better. Don't worry about it. And as a teacher, there are tests. If your students are doing great on the tests it reflects back to your teaching.

There were few that I met in the elementary school system that I thought were good in the sense that they were effective in delivering lessons and having the students participate.

One teacher in particular comes to mind who made his own little video lessons, powerpoint lessons and music lessons. He had to fight with his co-teacher quite a bit to be allowed to teach his material, but he was not afraid to step on her toes a few times to get his point across.



Many were "good" in the sense that they kept the Korean staff happy, but I'm sure that like me and you they did not feel very satisfied at the end of the day.
