Sometimes the reassurance that what you are doing is right, good, and appropriate provides a much-needed nudge to self-confidence and reminds you that you share experiences, concerns, and vulnerabilities with others in your profession. [...] Active Compassion: Active compassion is a combination of friendship, loving kindness, understanding, and wisdom that comes from understanding that others “suffer.” A compassionate teacher is committed to taking action to better the lot of others and teaches from the heart. [...] It constitutes the willingness and ability of teachers to put themselves in the shoes of their students and it should always precede the giving of advice. [...] Tolerance: Tolerance is the ability to see students and peers as they really are and to treat all with respect. [...] Students in the class of an assertive teacher know the boundaries and expectations; as a result, they are more focused and involved.
