Silent Students in English Class

“The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves.” ― Paulo Freire

There are many characteristics that are necessary for teachers to have. First, it’s important for teachers to be vastly knowledgeable about their subject matter. Teachers need to be enthusiastic about whatever they are teaching, especially if they want to sustain students' interest. If the teacher isn't interested in the subject, why should the students? Educators should always be willing to learn all they can about the content in which they are teaching—making the content as relevant or interesting as possible. Another characteristic that is vital in a teacher is having respect for students. Showing respect towards students means valuing each student’s ideas and opinions. It also means exemplifying respect for

It wasn't until she went to do fieldwork in schools, that she decided to become a teacher. She realized, through inspiring teachers and students she worked with, that she wanted to do just what every teacher that inspired her to do. She wants to be seen as a positive role model to her students and teach them how to cooperate with each one another. She wants to leave the great impact that each of her teachers has left on her, and she wants to have a positive impact on their lives. Getting to know a student and understanding their lives and possible hardships they face, can have a huge impact on how a student views you. Being there for your student, being supportive, being understanding, are just a few qualities all teachers should

I hope to build a relationship with every student I teach and let them know that their individual talents and personalities are appreciated. I believe that every student can learn when they are accepted for whom and where they are in their educational journey. Every student has potential to learn and should not be discouraged by personal setbacks. I hope to inspire Dweck’s philosophy of a growth mindset in my students where they believe that they can learn through dedication and hard work. Effective learning requires collaboration between teacher, students, and parents grounded in mutual trust and respect. Therefore I believe that the teacher should also have a “growth mindset” and take feedback from students, peers, and parents in order become a better

I believe good teachers are enthusiastic and capable of conveying their enthusiasm to students; constantly look for ways of improving their teaching and trying to keep abreast of developments in their subjects; and are sufficiently mindful and self-aware to be able to laugh at themselves.

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

As educators, we are responsible for enlightening, motivating, engaging and teaching our students. Indeed, this responsibility

When students trust and respect their teacher; they are more devoted to their assigned lessons; they will feel more comfortable interacting with the teacher on subject matters; they are less likely to exhibit and behavioral problems during class. On the other hand, when a teacher trusts and respects his or her students, he or she will be more dedicated to students’ intellectual developments and academic well-beings. Therefore I believe a good teacher must have good communication skills as well as people skills, they are essential building blocks of a good student-teacher relationship and only when such relation exists in a classroom, effective learning can take

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

What makes a good teacher? While many people may have certain credentials and can make list out of these. The teacher must have a strong connection with his students, energetic enthusiastic, the list can go on. Hal Urban has done this by writing the book, The Classroom: 20 things Good Teachers Do. As future educators it is important for us to reflect, and remember our roots of where we came from and the different techniques both positive and negative that our teachers used in the classroom. Not only does this help us grow as educators, but it helps us learn the importance of the kind of environment we want to create in the classroom.

How might teachers influence pupil learning and success? Consider some of the key features of high-quality teaching and how teachers might promote children’s success in the primary classroom?

We discussed in class what teachers need to know in order to be a successful teacher. There are three major areas each teacher must master in order to be a phenomenal teacher, they are: know your students, know your content, and know how to teach and a variety of pedagogies. Each of these things are crucial for a teacher to be successful. A teacher cannot formulate sufficient lesson plans if he or she does not know his or her students. Without knowing their needs or interests, the teacher will fall short of meeting he or her student’s needs. Likewise,

These teachers portray the desired skills, emotions, and responsiveness in order to provide quality education, engagement, and outcomes for all students, equally. Anderson and Boyle support the notion that teachers play a vital role in teaching and learning by proclaiming that teacher effects are the single most important variable influencing student achievement (OECD p.2, 2005; Barrett, 2014, p.

Who is a teacher and what makes a good teacher? By definition, a teacher is a person who teaches, especially in school, but can anyone be a teacher? That is a matter of the possession of qualification and the overall talent utilized whilst on the workforce. Having such qualification simply doesn’t create a good teacher, though. Becoming a good teacher requires work, effort and time that one must be willing to sacrifice from their daily lives. A good teacher must be able to teach the students clearly. He/she must be well prepared, whether it is regarding the lesson of the day or any sudden questions the pupil may ask. A good teacher should have confidence with themselves and be organized at all times. A good teacher respects his/her job and tries to be as effective as possible.

“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
