Recommended: Diversity in classrooms

Throughout my life, I have always loved school. I had many great teachers that impacted my life. No words could ever express the admiration and respect I had for my teachers. Teaching is a rewarding but challenging profession. I am very proud to tell others I am in the teaching profession. While no two teachers are identical, there are a number of common qualities that you’ll find in all outstanding teachers.
Outstanding teachers must be able to relate to and understand students. Many teachers go into the profession thinking all students are going to love the subject area they teach. I have had teachers in my life that could only relate to those students who succeeded in their class. All the other students were overlooked. I went into education knowing that not all students are going to enjoy and excel in academics. For some students, success will be getting a good grade in your class. Therefore, with great passion it was my job to help students understand that success is not always measured by grades. Success to me is much more than grades. For me, success migh...

  • The Great Teacher Question: Beyond Competencies By Edward R. Ducharme

    536 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I read these articles, I agreed with almost everything that was said. The Great Teacher Question: Beyond Competencies, by Edward R. Ducharme begins with a sentence that basically sums up my reason for teaching, “I begin this essay by defining a great teacher as one who influences others in positive ways so that their lives are forever altered” (Ducharme, 1991 p. 2). Over the course of a student’s education they will have many teachers, but there are maybe only one or two who are THE teacher. The teacher who impacts this child’s life in a positive way forever. The rest of the articles follow this same theme, suggesting ways that teachers can become THE teacher. One of the most important qualities I found in these articles (and one I

    In my life, my favorite teachers were always the ones who taught lessons inside and outside the classroom. They taught us about our past, our language and the world around us for tests and quizzes while also teaching us how to navigate through life with their lessons that weren’t needed for our grades. For me, I wanted to be that kind of person. I knew I wanted to help others when they needed help, and I knew I wanted to do that as a teacher.

    No two teachers are alike, each of us has to work to find our own style, but it seems that there are some characteristics that all effective teachers share while ineffective teachers tend to repeatedly make the same mistakes.

  • My Personal Goals And My Goals Of An Effective Teacher

    1003 Words  | 3 Pages

    Being an effective teacher is not an easy job and being a teacher that makes a difference in the lives of students is even harder. I have had a couple of teachers throughout my educational career that have made a difference in my life and it is my hope to be a teacher that makes a difference. In order to do so it is vital that I see my students as individuals and focus on more than their role as a student. I also believe that there are specific pieces of knowledge that all of my students need to know and it is my responsibility to pass those on. Lastly, to be effective I need to teach my students some self-discipline while still allowing them to be active learners. My central goals as a teacher are to focus on the whole child, to make sure that I transmit the core of knowledge to my students, and to use some external control to shape their behavior.
