A good teacher needs multiple things to be successful. Among some of the most important traits are patience, perseverance and the ability to adapt in any situation. Without these things, a teacher could find themselves up a creek without a paddle. Patience is essential to the modern teacher. With all of the potential distractions that children face in an age where an escape from reality is at their fingertips, teachers must be patient in order to get their desired results from a class. With all of the pressure that is placed on teachers these days by parents, peers, and administration, it may be hard for a teacher to get everything that they need to do done. Handing papers out, putting grades in, and constantly revising lesson plans to fit the needs and ability of the class, along with sticking to the curriculum. These tasks can prove to be very challenging and tedious, and without a very colossal amount of patience, a teacher might not make it. It does not only take patience to be a great teacher, let alone survive in the world of education. Perseverance is another essential trait that the modern teacher must possess. All of the patience in the world would not help the teacher who has given up. When children refuse to work, show up, or even put in any more than minimal effort, the instructor must keep trying. There may not be a way to reach every student in the classroom, but if the teacher simply gives up, then they will not reach any child. When the curriculum changes
The biggest challenge teachers face at the high school level is having a controllable classroom and a healthy learning environment. So today I will be looking at the best techniques and ways teachers use to create a healthy learning environment and controllable classroom for students to learn in and succeed in getting good grades. These techniques to better the classroom and the student’s education involve becoming more personable with students and conforming to their needs to help them with what
students learn by being taught from
a teacher or do they learn from hands on experience and mental readiness!? and how that
relates back to whether standardized testing is an accurate representation of that which is being
tested. Brady bases his article on a headline in Forbes magazine that was published January 26,
2009, titled: “Bill Gates: It’s the Teacher, Stupid”. Throughout his article, Brady quotes and
address different opinions on how students need to learn such as: the opinion of Bill
being a teacher. Based on my personality, I would have to agree. To start off, I am a great listener. When being a teacher, you want your students to know that you respect their needs and questions, and a good way to do that is to show that you care by listening. When children know that you are genuinely interested in what they have to say then you have created a trusting and safe environment for them. Being a good listener also requires patience as well, which is something I am very good at. Next
In the classrooms I am observing I have noticed many ways in which teachers reinforce the kiddos for good behavior. Each teacher has their own rewards system. I have witnessed a rainbow chart, a marble system and a stick chart. I have also noticed that many of the teachers do multiple activities with a lesson in hopes that the information will reach the kiddos long term memory. The teachers use verbal lessons, hands on activities and written reflections. Each class has their rules and what is considered
needed because the students need faculty that will come to work ready to work so that they are encouraged to come to class, the students need a schedule that is easier to manage so they can take the classes they want to take without limits, and the students need extra clubs and groups so that they have motivation and possibly even career related activities.

an extremely important thing to have in life. Some employers do not hire people who have bad grammar in interviews for the reason that it can show that a person is unprofessional and disrespectful. In The Washington Post article, Jeffrey Selingo claims that jobs these days specifically require skills such as writing and communication because of the lack in knowledge in these subjects from recent college graduates. (Selingo) In order to be successful in life, a person needs to know how to communicate
acknowledged it or knew exactly what it was. My ideas of school has been collecting for years, ever since kindergarten. I've always thought of school as something that is important. I went to school everyday and did my work and moved on to the next thing I needed to do. I did what I was suppose to, not because I enjoyed it but because I knew I had to. School has always been kinda boring and uninteresting to me actually. I dedicated myself to putting school first and second anything else. I never understood
My twelve hours of observations was completed with the same students and teacher because I had the opportunity to observe various disabilities in multiple different settings. On my second day of observations, one student with autism stole my heart. His name was Andrew. I entered the classroom, he looked up at me and said, “Amanda!” with joy. I smiled so hard and said “Good morning Drew.” He noticed my visitor tag because he is a very observant child. My visitor tag had my full name on it. Drew called
screaming, children crying, teachers hiding, and a masked man gunning down anyone he finds. There is nothing to protect these students and teachers in a moment like this. We need something to protect them. Arming teachers would protect students from harm.
Wayne Lapierce, the NRA’s chief executive officer, said,”The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” What do people do when there is a shooter (a bad guy with a gun)? They call the police (the good guy with a gun). If there
social contract between teacher and student, which is that true learning occurs when teachers teach students to teach themselves. In his article “What Does ‘Vocabulary’ Mean?”, Andrew Heinze asks what should professors at educational institutions do to accommodate the needs of students and address the problem with college students not comprehending basic vocabulary, and the impact this has on their performance in school. In order to address this education gap a few things need to be called to action
