To be compassionate about what their students are dealing with outside of school. Take the time to sit down with the student and talk to them, if there is an issue. Even though, the teacher and students schedules get occupied with the amount of work that needs to get done. There is still a way to reach out to a student or teacher if one of them is determined to do it can happen. Nowadays, it is easy to communicate between them both, so there should not be an excuse about not having the proper communication. Then, respect develops more between them. The teacher gives a clear act of respect toward the teacher; therefore, the student does the same for the teacher. There should not be special treatment or anything like that at all. All of these factors mentioned are descriptions of an effective teacher and good qualities that they must express while entering into the teaching profession; that is what makes a teacher
Qualities that I would consider to be important for teaching is a teacher should have a love of children. A lot of people love the idea of the subject but don’t when it comes down to the kids. You have to have a certain kind of love when working with children because your whole day will require you to work with children. A teacher needs to have an understanding of the role of education and how important education is. A suitable teacher has to have the willingness to reflect, organization skills, compassionate, patience, understanding and creative. Understanding to be a “great teacher” is a constant struggle to always allow improvement. I find these qualities important because you will always look for new techniques to improve your performance and situations. Being able to reflect and ask why things went the way they did. Reflecting will help you get into the habit of seeing things you wouldn’t typically see. By reflecting you will be able to form better relationships with your students and their families. Teaching requires a willingness to cast critical eye on your practice and pedagogy as well as
Lastly, it is important to develop clear training and supervision procedures that will guide teachers on the right steps to follow during training, supervision and evaluation of teachers’ aides. This will be important so that teachers are aware of the set of skills that their aides will need to be trained in as well as a number of set parameters that they will be evaluated on. Appropriate evaluation procedures that both the teachers and the paraeducators are aware of and agree to are essential in creating the right kind of relationship between the two as both parties are comfortable with these parameters and thus the evaluation process is carried out in a well understood manner.
As a result, a professional need to have at least five skills when working as a paraprofessional. When the jobs gets so stressing that the surrounding environment has nothing beneficial to say except complaints, it is important to be patient with it. As a paraprofessional you need to understand that everyone has a busy schedule and especially when a teacher has to deal with twenty or so student each hour. Give an adequate deadline for students and the difference will be astonishing. Another very important skill to possess is strong verbal communication, as this would be make task easier than sending maybe five to six emails to request something. When a paraprofessional speaks directly to a students or a teacher, the tasks will get done faster than sending emails multiple times. The third skill needed is to have is an excellent team work. What determines a student’s success is how well the teachers, special education teachers and paraprofessional do all their part. When the teacher has all the material ready for a paraprofessional and the para assigns those materials to the students a correct manner, the students’ likely hood of progressing increases. However, when there is personal interests, and conflicts exist. This creates a bad environment for the students that need help and sets a bad example of what adults are supposed to be doing. Paraprofessionals also need to have a habit of being very well
In most states, a high school diploma is the only educational requirement for dental assistants because the employer will give the worker on-the-job training.

Several states even require that you continue your education to maintain your licensure.

Panorama Ridge Secondary School had approximately 1500 students at the beginning of 2014 from which 7-10% of the student population consists of students with exceptionalities. I am one of those students, and over my secondary schooling period I have had the assistance of an EA (Educational Assistant). An EA has many responsibilities both inside and outside the classroom; they not only help with class work, but help students grow into a strong independent individual. This is an essay showing how all the EA’s that have worked with me have helped me reach my goals and accomplishments in the past 12 years of schooling, while helping me plan my future goals. I am hoping that this essay will also show how the EA’s go above and beyond their duties to help the students succeed.
You need to have respect, kids won’t respect you if you don’t respect them. Create a feeling of belonging in the room so all the students feel welcome.

"Orderlies typically have at least a high school diploma and receive a short period of on-the-job training" (Occupational Outlook Handbook). Graduating and getting a diploma can lead a nurse to a good pad to become an excellent home health aide. Going to college to get the training by passing all the skills needed will also help to be a nursing assistant. In order to success as a home health aide the best thing to do is to know well all the skills and know how to do them so that the patient won’t get hurt even worse if there is something wrong with them. "Aides who work for organizations that receive Medicare reimbursement are required to pass a state competency test that covers such areas as communications skills; observation, reporting, and documentation of patient status and care; reading and recording vital signs; basic infection control; recognition and procedures for emergencies; and basic nutrition" (“Ferguson’s Career Guidance Center”). After knowing all the skills, there’s a test needed to take to show that the student knows how to the skills. By taking the test it will show how well the student learn the skills. After taking the test and showing the scores and seeing that the score is good then the student receives a certification showing that the student is official a nursing assistant. This certification shows that the nurse is ready and can work in a
When asked to name the teachers who have had the greatest positive impact on us, we tend to name those who were warm, energetic, enthusiastic, organized, impartial, and competent in their field. Expert teachers employ all of these traits, and, as the text states, are "experienced" and "effective" and have "developed solutions for common classroom problems" (Woolfolk, 2001). I chose to interview my fourth grade teacher, Mr. Mendez, because he not only demonstrates expertise in teaching, but also has created a fun and proactive learning environment, which I hope to emulate in my future classroom.
