Education : My Favorite Teacher

Third Grade. Most people remember learning multiplication, getting more homework, and a very slight increase in responsibility. What’s my most vivid memory? The time my teacher was rushed to the hospital during the school day. My homeroom teacher, Mrs. Hauge is still one of the nicest teachers I’ve had today. She taught the cluster classroom, which is when all the kids the school considers “Gifted Learners” are all put in one class rather than being split up so that they can more easily be taught what they need. She was always nice, and not very strict. Basically, she was my favorite teacher all through elementary school. While her trip to the hospital was a traumatic experience for the whole class, it really shaped me as an individual.

Everyone has had that one teacher who inspired them, and who made coming to school every day worthwhile. My teacher was my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Eardly. She went above and beyond to be a good teacher to me, went out of her way to make sure I was taken care of, and inspired me to be a better person.

Once I reached high school, I had two teachers that impacted my schooling the most. Both of these teachers were biology teachers that

The objective of this study is to discuss important complexities in teacher's work. According to Churchill, et al (2013) The commitment to teaching brought to the studies and careers of teachers confirms that today's teachers and teachers previously genuinely love to learn and have a great desire to teach. Churchill et al (2013) states that this "deep commitment to humanity and making a difference in the lives of the next generation are among the qualities of people drawn to a career in teaching." (p.4) Some students are able to recall the teacher that transformed their lives and as stated by an experienced teacher and teacher educator "Whatever the situation the influence teachers have on their students I long lasting and can be profound. Good teaching makes a difference in the lives of children and young people." (Pugach, 2009, p.1 in: Churchill, et al, 2013, p.4)

looking back on my secondary education, I remember having a teacher in high school who was the most caring person I have ever met, Ms. Noriega. She was not just a teacher but also a friend. She was there for me when I needed someone to talk to but also when I needed assistance with school work. No matter the time or place, Ms. Noriega listened to me with caring ears. She did not judge me but rather guided me toward the right direction. On the other hand, I remember teachers like my ninth grade English Literature teacher, Mr. Ruiz. He went into the classroom to do his job, which meant teaching students the curriculum and nothing more. He was not will to try to get to know his students nor cared for our struggles. He was not helpful and was rather

I had the most wonderful teacher. She was kind and had a very disciplinary attitude. Her name was Mrs. Viola. She was very tall and had curly hair. She had that motherly aura that seemed to appeal to me. She would always make us use our manners moreover, not using them was her pet peeve. Every time we would ask to use the bathroom we would have to say, “May I use the bathroom” not “Can I use the bathroom”. Her husband was one of the janitors. Hopefully one day I will go back there and visit her. After we were done with a test we would always be allowed to play in stations like Legos or draw. My favorite topic in second grade was math It was so easy the way she explains

The teacher is the single most significant contributor to student achievement, with an effect twice as great of that as parents, peers, entire schools, and poverty (Hanushek, 2005). In teaching, you have to believe that every single student has the ability to learn and improve and that you have the ability to make that learning happen. Recall that when students perceive their teachers as someone who cares

Choosing a favorite teacher is fairly difficult when one puts into account all the types of teachers they have known, all of them are important. Teachers are the second most important people in our lives, right after our parents. Teachers are persuasive and have the power to build a child up from an immature student to become a responsible adult; or they can completely and utterly crush a students hopes and dreams.

I will never forget the mentorship from my sixth grade teacher who encouraged me and supported my musical attributes. Along with other great mentors and teachers up until my college education. But despite such wonderful mentors, the school system in itself still failed me. Teaching me not about myself nor my minds faculties, and that I should only be concerned with getting good grades.

her who was teaching in the class. But she is as cool as the icy lake

From my years in elementary school, middle school, and now high school, I have had many different teachers who have an impact on my life and my educational growth. There's one teacher though, who went above and beyond any other teacher I have had and that's why she had such a great impact on my learning ability.

The teacher that has most impacted my life is Miss Smith. She was my freshman and sophomore English teacher. Those two years were the hardest part of my high school career. I didn't think that high school was important, she helped me understand that high school defines my future. She help me as much as she could being an English teacher. I counted on her to help me through my problems and also on school work.

In the United States, the topic of education is widely debated and discussed. However little is talked about other than how teachers are paid very little and the amount of students per teacher is on the rise. Despite what some think, teaching is one of the most crucial professions in our society. In order to fix the problems of tomorrow we must educate today. Matt Alexander said that in his eight years of teaching he has found that, “Teacher not only teach the subjects they teach things that sometimes are lacking at home, such as character, work ethic, and responsibility.”(Personal communication, May 11, 2017). So what is it like to really be a teacher, and why and how do these heroes enter this field? This paper is going to talk about why

“The purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise … Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers.” Said A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. I totally agree with him because teacher matters. Teachers can change someone’s feeling or thinking by the way they teach students. For example, I loving math is caused by my math teacher when I was in middle school. Teaching is really hard duty, so not everyone can be a good teacher. The teacher who influenced me is Mrs. Suzan Pongratz because she is a creative teacher, encouraging students by offering incentives them, and organizing in her class and that’s made her class more ambiguous and dissimilar than others. English was the regretful class until I met Mrs. Suzan Pongratz and changed my mind. I am yenning to go to her class every time without feeling bad or regret. She is a brilliant, clever, helpful, creative and fun teacher. She achieved all the conditions that student need. She gave me the confidence by making me feel and think positively all the time. Her encourage insights make me rethink my work to make it better. If I want to thank her, it would not be enough for working with me hardly to make me improve and finish the class with best results. The way she is transferring the knowledge makes you interesting and want to learn and know more about it. Challenges are the key to creative new things.
