It is, however, one part of the formula. In my experience I have seen teachers with much passion and not much in the way of specific content knowledge. Passion helps with "hooking" the students nd getting their attention, but at some point after that teacher has to possess strong content knowledge or the excitement is for naught.

The teachers that had lessons that stayed with me were either the ones that brought our minds and sometimes our bodies out of the classroom, or were so passionate about something that it made you curious to know more. I also found Spirit week and Talent shows to be interesting because you learned more about your friends and classmates, and they learned about you from the things you were passionate about. It gave the class something to talk about and ways to make connections to each other, and the classwork.Erika Magdulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04804940696495671787noreply@blogger.com
