High-quality teaching requires that teachers have a deep knowledge of subject matter. For this there is no substitute.
A core premise of high-quality teaching is that the ability to teach, contrary to myth, is not "something you're born with"; it can be learned and refined over time. Specific teaching skills, for example, the ability to distinguish between what is most important for students to learn and what is hardest for them to understand, can only be acquired through training, mentoring, collaboration with peers, and practice.
