Gone are the days when teachers were seen as mere conduits of spiritual content—dispensers of facts waiting to be absorbed by passive students. Effective teaching starts long before stepping into the classroom. It starts with understanding their backgrounds, perspectives, and needs—and letting these insights shape your lesson plan rather than sticking rigidly to predefined content. Effective teaching is not just about what you know; it’s about how well you connect with those you teach and facilitate their growth. Even with limited subject knowledge, anyone can make an impact by fostering genuine connections.
