Abstract: Effective teachers possess a variety of skills set that appear magically and enhances transplant of knowledge. The core of each developed skill of the teacher lays a chamber that holds remnants of reflection of what transpires during the process of teaching and learning. This paper sets out to validate if teachers are born or made for proper harness of the skills of teaching and learning. The effective teachers are not born with “it” but the “it” of an effective teacher could be developed through the reflection process over a period of time through induction coach of beginning teachers and afford the opportunity to guide, support and accelerate the crucial process of development. Effective teachers are indeed made and those who are born teach with numerous opportunities for instructional focused conversations of reflection. Quality induction programme proactively addressed the challenging realities that teachers face in their formative years. When teachers are provided with quality support they develop as reflective practitioners which accelerates their growth and a foundation for expectation for continued growth and excellence within the classroom is laid.
Keywords: Born or made teacher, effective teacher, harnessing the gains of efficiency and teaching and learning.
