My Favorite Teacher

A teacher needs to be flexible and adaptable due to schedule changes, adapting lessons, gaining new students, adapting to various behaviors and various academic levels of students. A teacher needs to be assertive when advocating for the needs of their students, themselves and for their peers. To be outstanding you have to have compassion towards your peers, your students and their families. A teacher always need to be prepared for their day including designing lessons, creating materials, writing IEP's, knowing students levels, handling any behavior, that anything can happen and always have extra work. A teacher should be able to Multitask, you have to wear lots of hats in this field such as a mother figure, nurse, friend, disciplinarian, enemy,

The class itself was a nice course; descriptive lectures, peerless presentations, and topnotch films. Numerous amounts of essays, however, had my brain on the brink of destruction. A four page paper2 due every third Monday of every month; written about the novel we had just finished reading. To prepare for each essay, and reading of the novel, we needed to develop some basic grammar skills. A superfluous amount of words were written on the board before each book reading was about to start. One by one, my teacher, Mrs. Randazzo yelled out the definition, a couple synonyms and antonyms and wrapped it up with her catch phrase “write these down, they may be on a quiz *wink*”. The course was laid out to mirror the rules of prescriptive english. We were told to use correct forms of grammar, proper wording, and traditional sentence structure. Our textbook set the foundation we were suppose to build off of. My teacher made it very clear that once we entered the room, our ‘street’ language was of no importance and would not be answered. That style of reformation was atrocious. It made children hate her even more than they already had. Day after day there would be several unanswered questions due to lack of what David Foster Wallace would call, SWE (Standard Written English). Whilst she thought it was beneficial because it was teaching us to speak like educated human being instead of street rats, we children

In the book Speak, we have been introduced to 4 teachers as of now, Mr.Freeman Mr.Neck Hairwoman and the Spanish teacher. Hairwoman reminds of a very happy on the outside and depressed on the inside kind of person. She has orange and black hair, she is kind of drooping about, you can’t see her face because of all of her hair. I imagine her to be pushing her students and making them do lots of unnecessary work. Mr.Neck, this teacher already doesn’t like our main character, he seems like a teacher only liked by few. The good kids who did their work. He seems very stingy not the kind of teacher that you would want to be angry at you, he works for lunch duty, and looks like he would avoid connecting to students that do not like his opinions. Mr.

Through out my education, I have encountered many good teachers, but very few outstanding educators. Of course an outstanding educator must be organized, engaging, and educated, but these qualities are common in good teachers. Outstanding educators have certain qualities that are unique to them.

In this class, we learned very little from the teacher and more so from ourselves and our classmates. Everyday we would come into class with a few homework problems done, and then the students would go over them. Our teacher rarely spoke, so she didn't just tell us what we needed to know; we learned what we needed to know on our own. She helped answer questions when we couldn't figure out what to do on our own, but she never just talked and "narrated" to

What distinguishes outstanding teachers from other teachers, is the immeasurable impact they make on their students. They understand that teaching is a group effort. Therefore, they create a mutual, respectful and honest relationship with students, parents and administration. Disruption rarely occurs in their classroom, because they create a positive classroom environment where students feel free to share ideas without ridicule. They use diverse instructional strategies by accommodating and modifying instructions as necessary to support the unique needs of their students. Furthermore, outstanding teachers are patient, courteous, punctual, unbiased and perceptive. They are effective, because, they support both the student’s emotional and academic

Recently I enrolled myself in one of the most challenging classes in my entire high school, AP US History (APUSH). Even though it’s been a struggle to keep up with everything in the class, I still know that because of this class I now have having a better understanding of life. My APUSH teacher has not only lectured my class about history but he also taught us life lessons every once in awhile. Throughout the year my teacher had us read books that have inspired him in his life in hope that we will take something away with us before going off on our own in the world. We read books like The Energy Bus by and The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrew,two books that teach people how to keep positive, make the right decisions, and be successful. My teacher

As my mom pulled up to the doors of Monroe Road Elementary, running to go find out who my 4th grade teacher would be, reading it, seeing your name, knowing everyone did not like you was a very mixed emotion day. I went back to the car to tell my mom I had Mr. Neuendorff. She did not know all of the things said about you from other kids and parents. I began to tell her all of the bad things and that other parents would not let their kids have him as their kids teacher. She did not care so neither did I.

Hi future fifth grade teacher, my name is Ethan moon. In this letter I’m going to tell you a little bit about myself Ethan moon.

Theme in “The Teacher That Changed My Life” The theme in “The Teacher That Changed My Life” is to never give up. As he grew up he had been to six different schools in the past 5 years of his life, the reader realizes that he has a tough life to life. Gage writes, “When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor on a gray March day in 1949, I was an undersized 9 year old in short pants who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he didn't know” (Gage 85). By saying how his life is and how he lives, it somewhat shows you that no matter how hard the situation is, you can turn things around.

Have you ever had a teacher go above and beyond the call of duty? Not just the lesson of the day did you learn but a life lesson? To give you more confidence than what she has? I had her. And I am very fortunate to have someone like that in my life. She was the hero in my eyes. Even though she was a language arts teacher she taught me nobody is perfect. I was a quiet, and still am, leader. But when it came up to speaking in front of people, I was a mouse, still and silent. Since she is a reading teacher, it’s almost impossible to not teach about the love for books, and so I became almost immediately drawn into the excitement of reading.

My favorite teacher, Mrs. Messina, was awesome in many ways. She was kind and was very considerate.She did not give me lots of homework. She still found a way to fully teach us. I also thought she was nice and considerate because she sometimes let us have naps and food.

There are a large number of teachers in my life, nearly all my aunts and a large part of my social circle are teachers, instructors, and professors, and some of my role models happen to be teachers as well. While discussing my thoughts and feelings on what I should do for my second career, and where I should do it, with my family and friends, I was asked, “why not teach?” I have a passion for working with people and genuinely care about their success. One of my classmates told me that she thought I would excel at being a teacher since I have the ability to clearly and comprehensibly explain concepts, how to complete assignments in a way that maximizes learning, and because she found my enthusiasm for our course topics motivating. I am also an avid traveller; I have travelled through over 15 countries and have lived in two countries outside of Canada/North America. In reflecting on what I should do next, and where I should do it, it seems that combining teaching and travelling into my next career phase is a natural next step.

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.

For some reason or another certain students are drawn to particular teachers while other students are more fond of others. In my life I have studied under three memorable teachers. Teachers with which I was able to connect, to laugh, to share my misgivings. While I may have been close with each of these teachers, it is very clear, in retrospect, that each was very unique, and represented an entirely different class of teacher.
