My Experiences Types Of Teachers

Outstanding teachers know their stuff! They know what they are teaching and how to teach it so that students will understand and be able to use their knowledge in multiple contexts.

     As I thought about the most important qualities of an outstanding educator, certain individuals came to mind. It has been my good fortune to have had excellent teachers and instructors, and to have worked with people who are caring, competent, and creative. They were and

Over the years I have had the pleasure to work with a plethora of excellent teachers. Many of whom have had a lasting impact on me both as a performer and educator. The few teachers that have stand out were the perfect mixture of both great performer and teacher, but most importantly they seem to be heavily invested in my successes. The following teachers are just a few that fit this mold.

Being a teacher doesn’t mean you have to be boring and uneventful. Being a good teacher shows that you know what your students like and make them want to learn. Being like Ms.Murrow would give your students a horrible year. Being Mr.White makes your students look forward to learning. Be a teacher that gets students to look forward to learning,

A teacher is a person who inspires and encourages us to strive for greatness, live to our fullest potential and see the best in ourselves. They are strong-willed individuals who we admire and aspire to become. We learn from them. We learn through their commitment, integrity, and perseverance. A teacher can influence many important aspects of a student’s life. They help shape a student’s personality, morality and provide them with the tools necessary to take on their future endeavors. “A good teacher can teach you something that you will remember for a day, but a great teacher will teach you something that you will remember for the rest of your life.” I was fortunate enough to find all of these qualities in my Army JROTC instructor, First Sergeant Navarra.

It takes hard work and a lot of energy to become an expert in the education world. There are amazing teachers who would do anything for their students, but there are also teacher who are just there to go through the motions. The best teachers are to ones who are passionate about what they are teaching and would go out of their way to see their students succeed.

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” There are so many different quality traits that separate a mediocre teacher from a great teacher. So who’s to decide what those specific traits are? Every student is different when it comes to learning. One may love a certain teacher, and another may not. All teachers have different teaching styles. Looking back at my favorite teachers from high school, I noticed that they all had similar characteristics that made them my favorites. However, they also had their own unique qualities that made them stand out as well. These teachers have not only taught me the required criteria for the class, but in fact made me a better individual. The three teachers, in which have made the biggest impact on my life are: Cassie Applegate, Jason Aker, and Eric Padget.

I was extremely lucky to have amazing teachers throughout my schooling. However, one teacher that went above and beyond would have to be Mr. Sierra, my advising counselor and teacher in high school. Mr. Sierra possessed many characteristics that made him a great teacher. He always encouraged me to do my best and taught me never to settle for ‘just okay’. His advice has really resonated with me and is something that I have applied to my life in all aspects. A great teacher like Mr. Sierra, is someone who guides, encourages, and during this same process challenges

Bone-shaking anxiety filled the morning of my first day of high school. Coming from Christ the King, I had never had more than twelve kids in a class with me, and now I would have a minimum of twenty? That alone made me nervous, but I also had to walk through the dreaded Senior hallway to get to my Science class, and I was terrified at the thought of making my way through that maze of giants. However, everything went smoothly in those areas, and all that awaited me was the class that I feared the most: Concert Band I. It was one thing to walk through the hallway with upperclassmen, but now I had to be in a class with them. Needless to say, I was mortified until I walked into the room and the first sentence I heard was, “Hey Erik, welcome to

There have been far more good ones than bad ones. These teachers have a major impact on the students that they teach day in and day out. Each teacher and professor has his or her own teaching style. What works for one does not necessarily work for the other. On the other hand, each teaching style does not always work well with some individual students. It is the teacher who can adapt to these circumstances students who can really have a profound effect on their students. I had one the best professors I have ever met. His name was Dr. Hammond. He was a professor in the Political Science department. Dr. Hammond used many nontraditional teaching methods, but that was what made him so great.

A great teacher can always bring out the best in their students and inspire them. My former physics teacher, Mr. Stephen Murray is a great teacher.

Everyone has learned something from another person, however we never stopped to think what makes that person a teacher. It could be the setting they teach in, or it could be the method they use to teach. It could even be the simple fact that they have a degree, proving they are a teacher. From the young age of 5 or 6 we legally have to start going to school. School is an educational building where one will meet different teachers throughout the 12 years of their educational life. Everyone has their own perspective of what a teacher is. Some good, and some bad. To me, for someone to be considered a teacher they have to be compassionate, dedicated, and passionate. A teacher that is a prime example of being compassionate is Miss. Maloney. A dedicated teacher would be Mr. Englebach, and the most passionate teacher, I have ever met would be Mr. Gamache.

I sat nervously on my chair, fiddling with my new sharpened pencils. First days of school were hardly any fun for me, I never enjoyed them. Mrs.Perryman, my new fourth grade teacher, walked in with a cheeky smile and a big black bow on her head. She pulled out a white piece of paper, and immediately my heart started to thump out of my chest. My breath hitched and it felt as if everything was slowing down. “Well goodmorning class, and welcome to a new school year! Let’s start off with attendance shall we?” This was the most dreadful part of the day, I wasn’t looking forward to this, knowing every teacher I had always misspronounced my name. “G-Glendale? I’m so sorry if I say it wrong. If I do, please feel free to correct me.” My eyes widened in shock and astonishment. For the very first time, a teacher pronounced my name perfectly without me having to correct them. I looked down and nodded my head shyly, indicating that she read it right.

Throughout our education we have all encountered teachers that have inspired us to learn and those who have made the learning experience seem never ending. A great teacher can be remembered for a lifetime. They can impact the choices that we make to further our education or encourage a desire in us toward a future career. We remember these teachers and often hope that we will encounter more teachers like them along our educational journey.

When I think about teachers that I have had in the past, several different ones come to my mind. Each of these educators stands out in my mind for a variety of diverse reasons. Whether it is their sense of humor, their tactfulness, their love of the subject matter, their fanatical and sporadic behavior, or their yearning to be childish themselves, I can still remember at least one quality of every teacher I have ever encountered. Every one of these teachers conveyed subject material to their students just as they were educated and employed to do. However, I trust that every professional in the world has an abundance of opportunity for improvement; teachers could discover and improve themselves merely by having
