He will discuss some of history’s greatest teachers as well as teachers in our everyday lives and the important traits they possess. He will highlight his own work and research on the subject as well as that of others. Dr. Dubois’s research has revealed some interesting hidden characteristics associated with master teachers and he delineates these qualities that lead to effective and great teachers which had not been previously reported<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="@Arial Unicode MS" > </FONT>prior to his research.</div> <bR> <div> To summarize this session, Chancellor DuBois writes:<I> "Great teachers liberate students and make them succeed. Great teachers in the community college classroom through their talents and charisma, motivate their students’ intellectual growth, evoke their students’ emotions, and improve their students’ self-esteem. Great teachers encourage students to find meaning in their lives, a sense of purpose and vision. The great teacher possesses a unique form of altruism, an unselfish commitment to the welfare of the student, approaching the Greek "agape"–unselfish love and concern for others. Teaching is an ongoing passion.</I></div> <bR> <div> After the Chancellor’s opening remarks, he invites you to join him in open dialogue on the subject and the VCCS professional development and research initiatives needed to enhance your greatness. We look forward to your joining us for this important session.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>About Chancellor DuBois</B></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Chancellor Glenn DuBois</B></I> is the Chief Executive Officer of the Virginia Community College System and Secretary to the State Board for Community Colleges.
