Outstanding teachers posses the following skills and or attributes: The ability to adapt to any changes that may occur, The cognitive skills to think quickly and logically, The virtue of patience to handle the repeating of information for those students who may not catch on quickly and finally The passion of teaching others to be better learners and the ability to listen and analyze the emotional, physical, and mental state of the students . Truly good educators remember that the image they exude is the example that is set forth for their students.

Rafe Esquith is more than an elementary school teacher; he is a role model to hundreds of students, teachers, and other individuals who have the honor of learning about him. Most teachers follow their school responsibilities to educate their children. Rafe not only educates them, but makes sure that he gets to know each child, enhances their self-esteem, and empowers them. Rafe also works the weekends just for his students who come to learn more. Rafe demonstrates various skills that are utilized in the social work field throughout the movie “The Hobart Shakespeareans.”

There are many characteristics that are necessary for teachers to have. First, it’s important for teachers to be vastly knowledgeable about their subject matter. Teachers need to be enthusiastic about whatever they are teaching, especially if they want to sustain students' interest. If the teacher isn't interested in the subject, why should the students? Educators should always be willing to learn all they can about the content in which they are teaching—making the content as relevant or interesting as possible. Another characteristic that is vital in a teacher is having respect for students. Showing respect towards students means valuing each student’s ideas and opinions. It also means exemplifying respect for

While there are many ways to be an outstanding teacher, every high-quality teacher should, in my opinion, have these skills and dispositions:

Thirdly, Homers principle out casted Homer. Now you may ask, how could a principle socially outcast their own student. Mr. Turner (Homers principle) socially out casted Homer by not allowing him to do what he loved. Homer wanted to make a rocket to get a scholarship but the principle made it so hard on homer. He had Homer arrested because he thought that Homer started a fire, he didn’t allow the boys to work on their rocket at school or make the stuff for the rocket so that it can fly. It seemed like Mr.Turner didn’t want one of his own students to succeed. But with the help from Mrs. Riley she helped Homer and his friends succeed and she fought against the principle. Mr.Turner never really stopped socially out casting Homer and his friends. It really shows how a principle can really put a big impact on one of their students

There were many diverse aspects to this book. Most of this book is a recall from either the main character, or one of his students. This book is intended to open people’s eyes to see that in order to change the world we must first change ourselves. Being able to go through this story and see the mistakes, and the good decisions, teachers in Michie’s life have made, has taught me that the best way to teach is through love, justice, cultural empathy and imagination. Some of the points brought up in this book include the positive and negative sides of physical contact with a student, classification/stereotyping, race, gangs, police brutality/lack of justice, and children not being able to escape peer pressure.

One of the qualities that a good teacher should possess is to help and ensure that our

The article provides many examples of the teacher's cruel nature including, "I'd head off to class, where the teacher would hold my corrected paperwork high above her head, shouting, 'Here's proof that David is an ignorant and uninspired ensigiejsokhjx'"(Sedaris 86). It would have been easier to give up and try again with a different instructor or even switch instructors. The author shows just how cruel this teacher could be and how she insulted her students from day one. This shows how determined the narrator and the other students in the class to keep dealing with this cruel teacher. Only the students determination to succeed in the class made them return each day. It's easy to return to a class where the teacher is supportive and nice. It is not easy to deal with a cruel teacher. Many other people would have given

He was a humble guy coming in and was very interactive with students. His traits helped him earn the respect of many students. Out of the eight questions we had to ask, I only brought up the strongest ones to ask him. The first question I had asked him was, "What were your teaching methods during your first semester of your career?” He responded saying, “I wanted to make it enjoyable and relate the class subject to real life situations so students have an understanding of how important the topic is during my teaching points.” My second question was, “How did you approach your kids when they did not turn their work on time or when they were noisy during your lectures?” He said, “Students will be students mainly misbehave, because complications, and they probably won’t even do any classwork. However, as a teacher when dealing with a misbehaved student you have to take them outside and have a word with them or just not have them participate in any extracurricular activities”. The third question I asked was, “how did you interact with your students? Did you focus on strengths or weaknesses when speaking to them individually? He replied, “When interacting with students, I mainly place my mindset within their level. I don’t make it seem like I’m a higher individual with authority. I feel as if it creates a closer bond when you make them feel they’re confronted with someone similar to them. It is best

Teachers need to get through students on order to teach a student. Some students might not show up or care about the class. Teachers of elementary schools have the hardest because the kids just want to play, goof around and don’t listen. Elementary teachers have hard time teaching young uneducated students just like Miss Moore with her uneducated children from the neighborhood, in the story “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara. Miss Moore teaches the students how to take the first step toward a better education just like elementary teachers, her teaching method were to show how the upper class lived in comparison to the children but she could have though them differently by giving rewards for something they did educationally.

Within this scenario, Mark is a pre-service teacher that aspires to make an impact on his students’ lives. On this note, Mark builds a connection with a reclusive student named Laurel. This sparks controversy amongst the school community as Laurel insists that Mark is her ‘friend’ and begins to share inappropriate information with him. With good intentions, Mark does not want to diminish Laurel’s newfound confidence. Conversely, Mark is unsure of his professional responsibilities in this situation.

In “The Gestures of Grace” By: Alison Melotti-Cormack, she talks about what she believes makes a good teacher. Some of the qualities of a good teacher has is a passion for learning, connect with the students, evolves over time, and learns to accept the “bad” students. She also believes that teaching is all about learning and the gestures of grace. Melotti-Cormack’s main point/message is to just listen. She say’s this because from listening to her students she has been able to learn life lessons that she uses to help her students.

In “To Teach the journey of a teacher” by William Ayers different teaching styles are introduced. The book teaches us that nobody is a perfect teacher. A couple myths from the book include time management is essential to teaching and you learn everything you need to know about teaching in college. Everyone will have off days when they are teaching and it is not going to go perfectly. Also, you cannot really understand teaching until you are actually in a classroom experiencing it for yourself. School may teach you basic skills and situations that you may encounter, but it is not real until you actually experience a crisis for yourself. Some other myths in the book are all teachers treat their students the same and all students will perform above average. Children come from all different backgrounds and start school in different places. There is no way that teachers can treat every single student the same and ensure that they will all be above average. Overall the book was full of myths that show what other people think of teachers.

Teachers have to earn respect, I think, it cannot be demanded by them just because they want it. Another thing is that teachers should show love. They should not only show it towards the students but towards their work as well. Teachers

Empathy is the third quality. A teacher must have the ability to bond with the students, to understand and resonate with their feelings and emotions. He/she need to put his/herself in students’ situation to understand and solve students’ problem. A good teacher must know that the aggression, negative attitudes that he/she can see in some students have a root cause. He/she know that they are really scared young people who have come through some bed experiences in life. This will keep a teacher calm and have control. If a teacher can do this, he/she will gain more than love from his/her students.
