11 December 2014 Drowning in the Discourse Julie Wildhaber says that “A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them” (Wildhaber).

Dictionary.com defines responsibility as “the state or fact of being responsible, answerable, or accountable for something within one’s power, control, or management” (Dictionary.com Unabridged. 2013), but what would be consider as “within one’s power” or control?

Assessment Item One – ‘What is an Effective Teacher?” Personal Beliefs - Abstract There is no definitive answer, rather levels of effectiveness.
