Anyone can be a teacher, but it takes someone who is dedicated, committed, and truly understands their students to be an effective teacher. Throughout this study and through the data that was collected, we see what makes an outstanding ESL teacher is one who understands her students' emotions, and one who modifies her lessons and behavior to enhance her student's learning for them to become independent individuals socially and academically. Jen exhibits all of them characteristics as we see through the data that was collected. Overall a teacher must be able to connect with her students emotionally and understand their needs. A teacher should be able to easily modify and transition her lessons to accommodate the different learning styles of each student. Being an ESL student can be an overwhelming and stressful experience for a child, but if they have a teacher who is passionate and truly understands his or her students, then there is great a chance for that student to succeed.
