Attributes of a Great Teacher When I was in high school, I had various teachers in every class, but my University prep teacher was special among all the teachers. She was genuinely dedicated to all the students in her class, and she never forsook the students who those needed help. She was supportive, passionate, amusing, and most importantly devoted to every student in her class. Currently there are numerous teachers having a mindset of just doing their job instead of being more valuable for students
A Great Teacher - Original Writing I was 20 yearls old when I was assigned to interview someone whom I admire. By those days I wanted to get a degree as an English teacher, so I thought it was a great idea to interview one of my high school teachers. I decided to interview the most taugh and admirable teacher I have ever had: Mr. Stucchi. Surrounded by a circle of students, Mr. Stucchi answered questions, gave instructions, and explained assignments. I slowly approached the circle
Becoming a Great Teacher Every teacher has their strong points as well as weak points. Teaching is very hard work and some of them never grow to be anything better than mediocre. They do the bare minimum and very little over and above the call of duty. There are several ways to become a great teacher. Teachers are truly dedicated workers who put a lot of time and schooling into being able to teach for the rest of their lives. There are several main characteristics that every teacher needs to
There is no doubt that both Jaime Escalante and Joe Clark are great teachers. They both achieved near impossible achievements for their school against all odds. They believed in their students when their students did not believe in themselves. But, what makes them so great? What are their methods? Which of these teachers is the better teacher? They are both astounding teachers, but I think Jaime Escalante is the better teacher. Escalante believed in all of his students. He did not get rid
Whittaker in his novel, What Great Teachers Do Differently pose teachers with different concepts within the education field, touching on some “not-talked” about concepts, and sheds light on ones own performance, and effectiveness as a classroom teacher. On page 95, Whitaker states, “If we seek input from our most capable students and colleagues, we are much more likely to make the right choices”. Now looking at that from just a first line perspective one may question how this would effect the individual
science that requires a great deal of time, energy, money, and mental and emotional investment on the teacher’s part. The success of education depends largely on the educators facilitating it, the pupils receiving it, the community that understands and supports it, and the curricula it provides. “If your actions inspire children to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are indeed worthy of the title “Teacher”.” ~ Robert John Meehan I believe a great teacher never stops learning or
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
Therefore I feel that it requires a transition or a transformation as Danforth calls it. In his book Danforth wrote, “When asked to explain how their attitudes, thoughts, and feelings changed, the teachers described going through a personal experience of emotional discomfort and cognitive dissonance, what one teacher described vaguely but powerfully as a ‘nagging feeling I’m not doing enough’ ” (p. 11). This relates to my time in the classroom not because I was uncomfortable, but more the part about not
Thinking back to my past math teachers, I believe that it depended on the teacher whether or not I liked math that year. There are many things that make a math teacher a good one, and I have been lucky to get great teachers the past few years. A good teacher understands that even though the students should know how to do something, they might not. Teachers often assume that their students know how to solve a certain equation for instance, but not everyone learns at the same pace. It is also important
burns) or by faith (God is all loving). As the period of the Renaissance came to a close, the popular paradigm for philosophers shifted from faith to reason and finally settling on the senses. Thinkers began to challenge authorities, including great teachers such as Aristotle and Plato, and through skepticism the modern world began. The French philosopher, René Descartes who implemented reason to find truth, as well as the British empiricist David Hume with his usage of analytic-synthetic distinction
France and studied at Alliance Francaise. He was not done in Europe and moved on to Universita per Stranieri in Perugia, Italy in 1954. Charles didn’t stop there and went back to Paris, France to study at Academire de la Grande Chaumiere under the Great teacher Ossip Zadkine in 1955. From there it was off to Aterier 17 in Paris, France to study with Stanley W. Hayter. In 1956 Charles Ginnever moved back to the Untied States and studied at the California University of Fine Arts in San Francisco where here
Franny and Zooey as Victims "We're freaks,the two of us, Franny and I... and both of those bastards are responsible...I could murder both without batting an eyelash... The great teachers, the great emancipators." Childhood memories are ripples of waves crashing serenly throughout my mind. Memories of climbing trees, playing dress-up and other fun-filled reminiscences float through these waters like drift wood. I remember nothing but living in a joyful bliss. My only tragdy was when
comes from Deuteronomy 18 and is quoted in Acts: “For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you another prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you’” (Acts 3:22). Because Jesus was known as a great teacher, the author of Acts believed that Jesus was the prophet who Moses was foretelling would arrive. Also, according to Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: The... ... middle of paper ... ... captive permanently in
Throughout the past semester, we in Acting 2 have studied the different techniques and methods of acting adopted by the great teachers. From Stanislavsky to Stella Adler, Lee Strasberg to Michael Chekov, we have learned the many different views of what makes a good actor. While outside class we read about these techniques and took notes on their specifics, in class, we participated in workshops in order to get a true understanding of their ideals. This way, we could actually see which seemed to
Anne Sullivan: A Great Teacher “A teacher effects eternity'; (Henry B. Adams). A teacher does many things that affect her students. Even though at the time, the student does not understand the wisdom of the teachings. Anne Sullivan is one of those remarkable teachers. Helen Keller became deaf and blind at the age of eighteen months because of a fever. She lived many years not able to communicate with anyone. Helen was allowed, by her family, to do anything she wanted because they did not think
Every year I have had a teacher who has always went that extra mile to make sure I thoroughly understood each and every lesson. For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a teacher; I want to be like all those teachers who helped me through the years. One particular teacher who seems to stick out in my mind, is Mr. Scott Vargo. He taught 10th grade Biology and 12th grade Anatomy and Physiology, both of which I took. I have to say I've never met a teacher like him; his teaching
The movie “Great Teacher Onizuka” tells a story of a bike gang leader who wanted to become a teacher. Once the gang has disbanded, he worked as a part timer in a high school garden, then he meets the director of the school who was really in disguise as a lunch lady, and he talked to her how the school is boring because no one is having fun and how teacher are just scolding their student if they don 't follow instruction. Instead of yelling at the student, the teacher should help the student individually
Philosophy of Education Becoming a teacher is going to be one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. Teaching was never a childhood dream for me like it was with others. Some people have always known that they wanted to become some type of teacher, but I never decided to until I entered college. I’ve always loved being around children and it makes me feel great to be able to help someone, so becoming a teacher is the perfect career choice for me. I believe that the true nature of most
Nephi, Utah. Like many other small town high schools, football coaches and P.E. teachers doubled as Algebra teachers and Science teachers. This allowed our school to make full use of the limited teachers and resources that it had. There was a lot of talented people that taught at Juab and some of them made great teachers and coaches, but some of them didn't. Sometimes it ended up that the football coach/algebra teacher cared a little more about tomorrow's football game than he did about ensuring
Buddha was a Great Teacher, Christ is Our Eternal Lord In Buddhism, one’s path to nirvana relies on the effort and discipline of the individual. By contrast, Jesus taught our goal is not a state of non-conscious being, but an eternal relationship with God. There is nothing one can do to earn a right relationship with God. Instead, we must receive His gift of grace, the sacrificial death of His Son, Jesus Christ and this restores our relationship with our creator Almost all religions teach that
