For some, “Teacher” is simply a title to describe the person who teaches vocabulary words, a math formula, or who takes students outside to play on the playground. To others, a teacher may just be the person to whom they send their child every day, as a “highly paid babysitter”. However, to me, the word “teacher” invokes a sense of pride that rises up inside of me. Teachers are professionals who take it upon themselves to make sure that students have the resources needed to lead a healthy life,
is one of the many ways people learn. Some will say that teachers are very influential people. They are able to reach and impact people in a negative or positive way. Teachers have different personalities and all different types of teaching styles. The way a teacher acts in a classroom affects how the student learns.

will be the students and two, will be a teacher. But, what some don’t realize is, to have those students, you must have a teacher. A teacher is many things but being a teacher is certainly not the easiest job in the world. A teacher encounters many duties and responsibilities when taking on this large role. And I believe that teachers should receive credit when credit is due. This is basically all the time, because a teacher is more than just a teacher. A teacher today must perform many roles in the
Teachers deserve more credit, plain and simple. After spending the majority of my life submersed in education, I find myself disgusted with the lack of awareness people have towards teachers. Not only are they mentors for youth, but they also handle every behavior known to mankind and are not paid nearly enough for their efforts. In my opinion, teachers should stand at the top of the scale when it comes to respect, and unfortunately, that is not the case. Once children begin Kindergarten, they spend

In the United States, educators are valued for being more than just a teacher by society. Educators not only nurture and enrich student’s minds, but they are also preparing them for the future. They are the stepping stones to the student’s pathway of success. Yet, K-12 teachers around the country, with the exception of the East Coast, are often overworked, overwhelmed, and usually underpaid, due to the lack of funding, for the dedication and time that is required to succeed in their profession, but

The removal of tenured teachers in our public schools are governed by the Teacher Tenure Act 168.102 to 168.130, which lays out procedures that provide our local school boards with the requirements of due process. There are two ways a school board may terminate the employment of a teacher, dismissal or nonrenewal. Dismissal deprives a teacher of property and so it must provide the teacher with due process. Nonrenewal only applies to probationary teachers, subject to the Tenure Act who have not attained

Teachers' Salary When was the last time that you saw a teacher sporting off a brand new Lexus? Or when was it that you heard of a teacher owning a ranch? The answer to this question is probably never. Although material possessions such as owning a luxurious home or driving an extravagant car might be chump change for people like the rich and famous, for teachers this kind of spending is literally an arm and a leg. Even simple necessities are out of reach with a teacher’s salary. The reason for
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I personally remember the times when I used to insist on playing school with my younger sister, and I used to love to pretend to be a teacher and make activities for her to do. I even had my own grade book and my own easel where I was able to express my creativity. My dream ever since I was a little girl was to become a teacher, and I think it is amazing that what used to be a pastime and a fun activity for me suddenly became something

Confucius taught his students knowledge that is based on the different classics, teaching them to become great thinkers and scholars.

The most distinctive of these very good teachers is that their practice is the result of careful reflection . . . They themselves learn lessons each time they teach, evaluating what they do and using these self-critical evaluations to adjust what they do next time. (Why Colleges Succeed, Ofsted 2004, para. 19) Introduction of Classroom Observation During my first Middle Management meeting I experienced a feeling of dread when hearing the word ‘observation’. On the whole, there
There are many key attributes to being an effective teacher but for me some of the key attributes are effective communication and establishing good relationships, guide children’s behaviour, setting up a good environment for learning and being well organised. They are many other factors that also need to be considered not to become just a good teacher but a great teacher. Effective communication is one key element to being an efficient teacher. Communication can be verbal or non-verbal. Communication
Introduction This report critically evaluates an incident, situating it in the context of Gypsy and Traveller education; the group highlighted as the ‘most at risk in the education system ' (DfES, 2003). Teacher professionalism and how this has developed over the preceding decades will be considered, along with the social, economic and political aspects affecting professionalism. Marketisation in the context of education is examined, and it is argued that that marketisation, by its very nature,
There is a growing teacher retention and attrition crisis in rural Mississippi. Several factors are believed to be contributing to this increasingly bad situation. The lack of teacher preparedness, through teacher education programs, is thought to be the most important aspect of increasing teacher retention and decreasing attrition in rural Mississippi. Lack of management skills such as organization and time management, a non-supportive work environment such as lack of mentors and professional
Researchers approaching the study of teacher retention using a cost-benefit theoretical framework from the field of economics believe teachers make choices to stay in their current positions, migrate to new positions in different schools either within or across districts, or leave the profession altogether by weighing opportunity costs. These researchers envision teachers comparing the costs, both overt (salary and benefits) and hidden (working conditions, family ties to the community, etc.), with
