Na?�ve Thinking Teacher

The best teacher I’ve ever had was my Honors English teacher, who was the strictest and harshest grader I’ve ever come across. With her as my teacher, I spent the majority of my sophomore year stressed out. What I didn’t realize, however, was that the only reason I was struggling, was because I refused to acknowledge that what she was doing was teaching. The teachers I had previously, never challenged me in the way that she did and, because of that, I could do the bare minimum and still pass. After I finished her class, I realized that she didn’t just set me up to pass her class, but set me up to excel in the future. She changed the way I looked at education, and made me acknowledge that having trouble in a class didn’t mean that I was incapable;

     Our teacher’s shape our worlds young people into adults. They can teach students more than what the parents can because they have more time to spend with the students. Many parents work full time and do not have the time to teach their children how to be good adults. There are also some parents who do not know how to be good adults and can not teach their children how to be good adults. I have seen many teachers at my school that would do anything to help a troubled student. Teachers can give the students their

Teacher are smart caring people who are always willing to help or at least some are and they are some aren't. Some Students underestimate teachers ability.

Being a teacher can give you a rollercoaster of emotions. There are so many ups and downs to think about when considering the profession of teaching. Being in a classroom full of students with very different backgrounds, ideas, attitudes and personalities could be a lot to juggle for someone who isn’t ready to handle it. I think in this case it would be pretty hard to make sure each and every one of your students is happy and successful 100% of the time. But there are certain cases where you can be that teacher that lifts a student up and makes them forget about all of their external issues and makes school their happy place.

Teachers don’t get paid too well, but they do put a lot on the line. Most teachers try to help an individual in any way they can. They are trying to prepare one for their future life. Many students bicker and whine about all the homework they receive or how they don’t teach. Sometimes students say more than they should, and usually the consequence is the office. As a student, they shouldn’t disrespect them or they think they are not capable of teaching. Also, in a classroom, what they say may affect another student. The other student may start acting like they other individual and get them into trouble as well. Teachers try their best, so give them some credit.

A teacher needs to be aware of their role as an example in children’s lives. Language and attitude set a first impression for almost any situation. A teacher can show students how to use language that is free of racist and sexist labels. Also, a teacher can approach a situation by recognizing the problem at hand and help the students develop a (healthy) solution.. Students develop their own expectations for themselves, while at the same time, teachers are creating their own expectations for those students. Teacher might be portraying those expectations onto the students without realizing the impact that they are having on the

In today’s society it is nearly impossible to survive without an education. It is important that we have the right kind of teachers to accomplish certain goals. A good teacher is one who listens to their students and tries to answer any questions they might have about anything. I think that a good teacher should also be able to listen to others opinions and not argue with them but try to understand their point of view on the subject.

Not all teachers are this way, but there are plenty who are only in it for the paycheck. These teachers make it difficult for a struggling student to succeed. When a teacher decided to belittle a student, due to there own personal struggles is when someone needs to step in and take that sence of power away from these people. There teachers, they deserve respect like anyone else, but the students do as well right? This is not how it is most of the time. “Treat people how you want to be treated” this quote is what many people have heard since they were young, if only it applied to everyone. Teachers have no idea how much they impact your lives, there only purpose is to teach. Inform you on how the world gravities, how to balance a checkbook and how to solve inequalities. If they lack care about there job, do you think you’ll get the full benefit of

As a student, people deal with teachers for at least twelve to thirteen years of their life and not all of them are bad, but then again they are not all good either. Most teachers fall into three categories; the I Am Just Here For the Paycheck, the Shut Up I Hate Children, and the Holy Grail. Now it is understood that teachers have a hard job dealing with snot nose brats and even snottier parents, but sometimes a teacher has to over look all that and do the job to the best of the teachers ability, and some do a great job of that, but others scrap the bottom of their barrels everyday.

I used to say a teacher that students remember positively and fondly. “Yeah, remember Ms. Mohamed, she was so nice.” But it always ended at that. All the classes before CI 4121 talked about classroom management and surface level the danger of colorblindness. And I took at that. But this class made me question, how and why would students like me? Would they like me because I gave them treats and parties? Would they think I was nice because I was sympathetic? I know for sure that I don’t want to be like Mustaf’s teacher, the culturally insensitive one. I want to be a teacher, whose students can learn from, and I can learn from them. Teaching has turned into a two-way street. In my culture, teachers are thought of as a second parent, but I’ve seen some teachers call their students friends. But I think there is a balance between formal and informal. I want my students to be able to come to me if they have a problem, a solution, something interesting or devastating to share. I want them to know I have their best interest at

Some have taught me how I want to be while others have taught me how I do not want to be. I feel that if you are a teacher you should love kids and your job. If you start to not love it you need to get out. I hope that someone will tell me when I am being an awful teacher, and help me change whatever wrong I am

Teachers are there to help young children find their way into success. They have a responsibility to shape lives of the young and impressionable children. Teachers are there to provide best advices and to educate their children's. A teacher in Scranton High School named Mrs.Gramigna was the best teacher I ever had. She was an English teacher that would take responsibility for students that are struggling in the English department. I come from an Asian family and even though I have lived in America for more than 6 years, I still have problems with English. I was struggling in Mrs.Gramigna’s class and she noticed that and she motivated me to learn vocabulary words when I go home everyday. That’s what I did and I soon started to figure out

What I mean by that is we as teachers must look at our students not as our pupils and more like our equals. I believe that as a teacher one of the most important concepts of the job is treating students like actual honest to God human beings. They are not lab rats that we are testing on we need to see students for they are. I live by and will always stand by the “Golden Rule” which I think should be extended to those we teach Treat others as you would want to be treated; that is one of the keys to not just teaching, but to living life in general. Something that fits into this key concept is the idea that as teachers we will learn just as much from our students as much as we will teach them. Again seeing our students as equals not just as people but in the classroom is an ideology that I believe in and fully support. As a teacher I will know that my students are the most important part of the job. As the future of our civilization we as teachers have the ability to help influence them and teach them that each individual is worthy of something

My own educational experience has encouraged me to become a critical thinker. I have been fortunate enough to have had teacher that have invested in my education. My teachers actions and dedicated demonstrated to me that they cared about my education. I remember them talking to me about the importance of furthering my education and motivating me to follow my dreams. I was able to learn through my experiences and unveil new knowledge. Freie (1993) stated, “If students are not able to transform their lived experience into knowledge and to use the already acquired knowledge they will never be able to unveil new knowledge” (p. 19). However, if we are able to use our prior and new knowledge

When teaching the lesson plan, it would be beneficial for the learning environment if the teacher is prepared to be diverted. One class Professor Goldin talked about how she has goals for her lessons, but sometimes the students will take it in another direction and she needs to adjust for that (Goldin). In my own case with my student, Suma, my goal for teaching was for her to look at what the Japanese-Americans underwent, but instead she wanted to focus on the Amendments and what President Roosevelt did (see Appendix A). I had to adjust my lesson plan for her because I noticed that is what she kept diverting her attention back to. After she had analyzed those documents, I got her to pick other documents focusing on what the Japanese Americans felt during their time (see Appendix A). It is important for the student to focus on what interests them because then they become more interested in the learning. A teacher is not helping a student if they are trying to fix a student with only the perspective of the teacher, and that the teacher is not letting the student become more advanced. The student could be making a point that does not follow the lesson plan, but it could be a
