Recommended: Importance of the role of the teacher

We all remember our teachers and for different reasons but an outstanding teacher, ones that we truly remember and cherish that memory have in some way moulded our lives. Outstanding teacher really can change lives! We often hear people say they were inspirational, they made me love school/a subject, I love being in their lessons…

Whilst writing this section I reflected on my time as a primary school pupil and three very different teachers in three very different schools immediately came to mind… and probably have never been too far from my consciousness. My teacher when I was 5 years old was so caring and compassionate, she patiently helped me with my work, pulled out a hanky when I cried over my take-away sums, sat with me with her cascading, curly ginger hair and soft voice comforting me. Then there was a teacher when I was 9, he taught us for only one term but in that time I was engaged with school, I laughed and enjoyed each day because he made learning fun through his enthusiasm and humour, spontaneity and flair. My final memorable teacher was in year 6, she embodied the traditional teacher, not whacky nor overly gushing, but highly knowledgeable, consistent and very strict – everyone liked and respected Miss Parry! So, an amalgam of all three teachers would be my ‘perfect’ teacher; compassionate, caring, humorous, fun, enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable and with excellent classroom management. Ta Da! …show more content…

    A teacher must have a relationship with their students, their colleagues, the parents of their students, and just everyone in their building. When one thinks of past teachers, they don 't remember the lessons they were taught, the books they read, or the grades they got. No, what we remember when we think of our old teachers are the relationships we had with them. We remember the jokes, the condolences, the drama, and the smiles. My favorite memory of elementary school wasn 't the learning, though I did enjoy that aspect of my education.

  • Perry Richman Personality

    750 Words  | 2 Pages

    Mr. Perry Weissman may be the greatest teacher that I have ever had. He doesn’t teach his students about English like he probably should have, but instead about life. He was 71 years old and had been teaching since the very beginning of my old high school; from the very first class, he showed his wild personality and kindred spirit, and everyone could tell it has lasted all 40 years of teaching. He is a giant health freak and always ate organic food (which probably explains why he has been teaching for so long), no matter what he would always offer some of his healthy food just because he didn’t want anyone to eat junk food. Mr. Weissman changed my life in one day by teaching about life, death, and purpose.

    ...with that, I want to be considered their favorite elementary teacher, or at least one they remember fondly.  I still remember my 1st/2nd grade teacher, Miss Dalberg.  She was the one that planted the idea of becoming a teacher into my head.  Back then, I wanted to be a teacher because it simply looked fun.  Decorating the classroom, grading papers and getting candy from every student on every holiday did it for me.  I was going to become a teacher!  Of course, that delirious point of view was from an eight-year-old perspective and eventually wore off.  Miss Dalberg was my favorite teacher of elementary school.  At the very least she made learning fun and instilled in me the interest to be a teacher.

    I loved how he gave everyone in our homeroom nicknames, for instance, mine was “Higgy-Baby”. To this day I do not know how he came up with a name like that, but I know that while I was in his classroom, I was never called just Alyssa. While I learned many new and interesting things in his science class, I remember more of the life lessons that he taught during his homeroom. He was one of the teachers that was there for me when life got rough, he looked out for me during and outside of class. For me, knowing that I had him keeping an eye out for me made me feel safer going to school again.

    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.

    Right from the time we embark on our education trip, we come across different types of teachers. Some are friendly, some are strict, and some are the ones we idolize.

They even classify their teachers into different categories, such as Friendly Teachers, Lenient Teachers, Perfectionist Teachers, Strict Teachers and Funny Teachers. All these classifications for teachers are based on some typical personality traits of the teachers. For ex - some teachers constantly criticize the students, some act like friends, some are fun to be with and so on. Let us explore them in detail.

    Coming into this class, I figured we would learn about how to handle different kinds of situations from a teacher’s standpoint. As it turns out, the class is much more than just that. I figured there would be group discussions consisting of some controversial issues, but I had no idea how the course would make me feel as a person and as a future educator. So far, this class has brought to light the incredibly difficult decisions I will have to make as a teacher. Not only will those decisions affect the child and parents of that child at hand, but myself as well.

However, an ethical and virtuous teacher is one who changes a student’s life forever and shapes their character into becoming a successful and respectful human being.
