| Abstract | A plethora of studies have sought to determine the qualities of a successful reading teacher. Many of these studies examined a teacher's practices and compared them to student performance on some assessment (Gambrell & Mazzoni, 1999; Guthrie & Alvermann, 1999; Kamil, Mosenthal, Pearson & Barr, 2000; National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2000). Other studies examined new, innovative ideas teachers implemented in their classrooms and measured the outcomes. While these methods of determining the qualities of a successful reading teacher may prove to be successful, there may be a more obvious way of determining what makes a great reading teacher. Perhaps instead of focusing on what educators, administrators, or researchers believe makes an extraordinary teacher, we should instead focus on what students believe, particularly since students are our teachers' target audiences. |
