Author Reflection
I am always amazed at how much information can be found on any given topic after it has been researched. I have agreed and learned a lot of information after constructing this FAQ section. I really did not have trouble finding sources. The ones that I found had so much information that they answered most of my questions. The sources I did find were full of great information that will be useful to anyone and covers many topics that will be useful in the future. I hope the readers get out of the FAQ section some valuable information. Sston008 (talk) 21:22, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I enjoyed reading your FAQ article and found it very interesting. I like how you reviewed the concept of mentors. I have a family member with autism, and a mentor has been extremely influential in my family member’s life that he can look up to and role model after. The mentor has become a trusted counselor and supporter and my family member has greatly benefited from having his mentor assigned to him on a regular basis. I found it interesting that the three characteristics of effective teachers are having positive expectations for student success, is a good classroom manger, and knows how to design lessons for student mastery. I couldn’t agree more with these three characterisitics and I feel that these allow the teacher to create a good classrom environment. Afett001 (talk) 17:16, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I thought that your FAQ article was very well done. I have also realized the importance of mentorship. I think that in every field it is vital for mentors to aid in the advancement of the training of new teachers. This chapter contains many ways that we as teachers need to maintain effective schools that will benefit our students, families and communities. Effective schools utilize principals that are necessary to the safety of our students. Classroom management helps our students to learn while also ensuring that they respect each other and the teacher. Jnewh001 (talk) 01:40, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I liked how the author answered many commonly asked questions on this topic. It is amazing when you think about the many components that must be fine tuned in order to run a well oiled machine or an effective school. It all begins with the faculty in these institutions and their ability to achieve results and maintain a positive learning environment at the same time. The author did a fine job on the coverage of this topic. Rpaige (talk) 02:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
