Positive Expectation Positive expectation will either make the student or break the students. There are only two types of expectation. There are two types of expectation its positive expectation and negative expectation. To speak positively, is to speak life. However, if you speak negative, only sadness will awaits you. Be positive can always motivate students to aim high in Excellency. Moreover, the only factor that increases student achievement is the significant of an effective teacher. Students value teachers’ positive expectation of themselves. Wong & Wong (2009) stated three characteristics of an effective teacher that including: positive expectation, classroom management and lesson mastery. The purpose of this research paper is to clarify and explain the first characteristic of an effective teacher which is positive expectation, including: the importance of positive expectation, dress for success, student success and invite student to learn. Effective teacher has the positive expectations for student success (Wong & Wong, 2009, p. 35). Why? Your expectations of your students will greatly influence their achievement in the class and in their lives. To have positive expectation means the teacher believes in the learner that he or she can learn. According to the Bible in the book of Proverbs 18 vs.21 it says that, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." This phrase talks about the power of your words. Your words can bring
Outstanding teachers are respected by students, faculty and families and are professional when performing all duties and communicating with students, faculty and families. When dealing with families a teacher must be understanding and empathic of students' diagnosis and family life challenges. An outstanding teacher needs to be open-minded to others ideas and theories and to changes. You also need to be consistent to provide stability to your students, as well as know the content that you are teaching. An outstanding teacher has to be able to be organized, patient, ask for help and participate in professional development to learn new techniques to grow and learn and stay up to date with new findings. An outstanding educator needs to encourage students to push themselves, reach their potential, show them that you have confidence in them and give them acceptance to be who they are, inspire students by showing them a love for learning so that they will have a love for learning and being in school and a teacher needs to have drive and passion to make students reach their full potential and putting in extra hours to make sure your students are
Education will always be the primary source of student’s success in the workforce, community, nationwide and globally. Teachers carry the weight of ensuring students are learning what is required to become productive members of society. As a teacher, the success of my students is the most important goal. There are so many pedagogies, philosophies, strategies, and materials teachers are able to use to be productive in the classroom. Every teacher has their own preferred
Today, teachers strive for the creation of positive and influential learning environments for all students. Moreover, they aim at increasing children’s chances of succeeding. They constantly re-evaluate their teaching strategies for educational improvement of students. Teachers create supportive and respectful school environment that makes students strive for more prosperous and eventually rewarding lives. According to Deborah Tannen, the teacher’s encouraging and
I remember my favorite teacher vividly even though I sat in her class many years ago. I have so many fond memories of her and took so much from her class. I can only dream of touching a child’s life in the way my favorite teacher touched mine. For just one student to think of me in the same way would make all the years of hard work worth the effort. I also want my students achieve many accomplishments. I want them to use and remember what they have learned in my class. I also want them to have a broad spectrum of knowledge. I want each student to do their best and go as far as they can. I want them to feel a sense of accomplishment and be proud of themselves. I want to be the teacher who is encouraging, supportive, and pushes her students to be their best.
For students to have positive attitudes about learning, a teacher has to have a positive attitude about teaching. Woolfolk (2016) defines a teacher’s sense of efficacy as a teacher’s belief that he or she can reach even difficult students to help them learn. “This confident belief appears to be one
The best teachers can do is to not allow students to see when the students have not meet the expectations they had and when students do not meet their own expectations, the teacher needs to encourage the student to try again and learn from their previous experience;
“Good teachers are ethical, expressive, forceful, intelligent, resourceful, reliable, mature, magnetic, and infallible, possessing good judgement, and a sense of humor” (Geiger, 2007). Not too many teachers like that now, they are very rare. His class went from basic math, to algebra, to calculus and finally AP calculus. Mr. Escalante was devoted, hard worker, dedicated, optimistic and an effective teacher. “Three prevailing myths about and effective teachers, the Teacher is self-made, the Teacher is the expert, and everything depends on the Teacher” (Gieger, 2007). If you want to be great you have to believe you are. Be knowledgeable in everything and that you have one shot to get your students to succeed to achieve the greatness that lies in them. Mr. Escalante was determine that nothing was going to get in his way no obstacle big or small. He inspired and motivated his students to believe that they could further their learning, it didn’t have to stop here. “His philosophy was that one needs to succeed in math is ganas or desire” (Menendez & Musca, 1988). You have to have a desire for what you want out of life. If you do not desire it, it will not happen. The students called him (Kemo) the Indian in the Lone
Educational research contributes many factors to effective teaching and the effective teacher. Beliefs and values that guide the research change by the decade, however, most of the research agrees that the highest impact on achievement is the teacher. The writer feels that the three factors Marzano pinpoints are ones truly necessary to guide effective teachers. He states “the act of teaching is a holistic endeavor. Effective teachers employ effective instructional strategies, classroom management techniques, and classroom curricular design in a fluent, seamless fashion”. (Marzano, p.77) By combining these three key components, the teacher will do what is necessary to foster student achievement.
Successful teaching occurs when the teacher is able to select the most efficient method for reaching out to each student’s individual style of learning and inspire students to rise to their highest potential. While the responsibilities of a teacher are extensive (as one can serve as a teacher, a friend, a counselor, a disciplinarian, an entertainer, a facilitator), I believe that students should play a big part in shaping own education as well.
Students are often told that the path to success tends to be a lonely one because only they can get themselves there. For the most part that is true, they must be self-motivated and passionate about their future, but along the way they get to meet special people that want to see them to accomplish their goals. From an early age the relationship built between students and teachers has molded and impacted the student’s life. The relationship they have with a teacher can define the attitude that student has with the subject being taught. A lot of emphasis is put on students when they fail a course and they question their effort. Although, the root of the problem is not always the student, but the method the instructor is using to teach the student.
The effective teacher exhibits positive expectations for all students. Having positive expectations simply means that the teacher believes in the student and that the student can learn. Students will live up to the expectations you set, and to be effective- your expectations should be positive for all students. The effective teacher establishes good classroom management techniques. Classroom Management is practices and procedures that a teacher uses to maintain an environment in which
Confucius, a famous Chinese teacher said, “Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace.” In the previous quote by Confucius, it is obvious that a teacher can impact a student’s life. Moreover (TRANS), the way a teacher generates hope and confidence provide a good equity at school for the students; therefore, a good teacher spread confidence in students, which may help them to be encouraged. Maintaining the right balance of strictness and friendliness, encouraging students, and finding the right teaching methods for each student are three of the many characteristics in becoming an inspirational teacher.
“What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves.” 1A teachers objective should not be to shape the students as a reflection of that educators image, instead they should see themselves as the medium of which the information in communicated, they should see themselves a person who elevates that students to higher concepts of learning, aspiration and liberation. A good teacher must recognize the strength and weaknesses in skills of the individual and class and reflect on how to leverage strength amongst learners to
Another point that makes a good teacher would be his/her patience. Teachers should not get upset or even worse, give up on the students who are not so strong in their studies. Instead, they should have the patience to slowly coach them, give them extra lessons, and find different ways to encourage them. Let them know that the teacher
Based on the evidence provided from this concluded research, it can be inferred that positive expectations led to more successful outcomes. Therefore negative or low expectations result in poor levels of success. Hence, the following consequences can be discussed to show how teacher expectations influence students learning in the classroom.
