The Key To Being A Teacher

Within the six traits of building relationship described in The Skillful Teacher: Acknowledging, Communicating Value, Respect, Demonstrate Fairness, Exhibit Realness, Humor and Fun are all traits that I have practice before with CoaH students. I think the three have used to build my strongest student relationships are Communicating value , respect and exhibit realness. One very strong student relationship that I had during my first two years here at CoaH was with one of my tutorial student Laury Alexandre. When I first met Laury in September of 2013 we did not start off on a great foot. She and the rest of her group had a lot of push back. They really tested me in the beginning to year. Laury went afar as giving me the silent treatment for 3 weeks. I think the one situation that really brought us to an understanding of each other was after progress reports for first quarter when Laury got a B in one of her classes. She was very upset crying hard it was afterschool I went to comfort her and took her aside listened to her issues and comforted her. The next day she sent me an email thanking me for trying to make her feel better even though she was being very unpleasant towards me in tutorial. She write that it must have been hard to care about some else’s feeling when they treats you so badly and that I must really be very good person. I write back to her that was not difficult at all and that I had nothing to put aside to help her that I enjoyed her very much as a student even

This essay contemplates my individual development, skill acquisition and exploration of teaching approaches; throughout and beyond the International Teacher Training Organisation (ITTO) program. The problems I encountered will be discussed; and their relation to establishing where my wealth of primary teaching experience aligns with English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching approaches. For example; efforts to reduce my teacher talk time compared to primary school education was important, correcting pronunciation in an appropriate manner and correctly pacing both my speech and activities were areas of development that were observed, reflected on personally and subsequently acted upon.

Organization and Planning refers to how and why star teachers plan as well as their ability to manage complex classroom organizations.

While there are many ways to be an outstanding teacher, every high-quality teacher should, in my opinion, have these skills and dispositions:

An outstanding educator needs to be flexible. There are always schedule changes and unexpected events that will affect the course of the day. A teacher is expected to and benefits from, having lessons planned in advance but as I have learned through student teaching, a day rarely goes as planned. As an outstanding educator, you must know how to rearrange your plans to benefit the students, making sure the most important areas are accomplished as planned and moving around the other areas to benefit everyone. Snow days, assemblies, and unexpected events throughout a school day throw off a teacher's pre-planned schedule, but the best teachers do not get flustered. They are flexible and make the day successful despite any setbacks.

This semester, I was a teacher assistant for Dr. Finley’s psychology 101 course. The experience to TA has been a really valuable, and rewarding experience. I’ve definitely gotten the chance to develop skills in the professional context. The variety of tasks and the workload pace was very enjoyable for me. The opportunity of being a TA at times proved to be challenging but I find ways to successfully manage some of these adversities. Overall, there’s a plethora of things that I can take away, and I plan to utilize some of these tactics into my future goals and career aspirations.

Should there be student mentors? Of course there should be. Many kids start out innocent then something starts to change in their behavior. It could be parents aren’t showing them right from wrong or just that sometimes they don’t have time to talk to their children. But at least some student mentors can guide them the way. Kids that are in elementary schools shouldn’t be bullies. For example a girl named Tiara, seventh grader who attended Cloonan Middle School in Stamford, Conn., was a bully. But then she was introduced to a student mentor then she started to change her act then improved herself. Many kids need guidance even if they’re not their family member. With mentors they could improve communication, education, and behavior. Tiara was

Outstanding teachers have a variety of extensive skills in essential areas of education. They exhibit professionalism, flexibility, content mastery, availability, concern, and respect in order to ensure effectiveness in teaching. These qualities are essential to student achievement and outstanding teachers constantly work to develop and improve these skills throughout their career.

Outstanding! Dynamic! Engaged! Driven! These are all words that I’ve heard used to describe who I am. My own personal feelings are a little more intuitive. Caring! Concerned! Committed! Combining all of these terms would lead one to believe that there is something extra ordinary about me, however, the truth is, it’s not me, there is something bigger at stake here, something larger driving this machine. That thing is Purpose, Purpose in fact is what makes me an outstanding teacher. I am purposed to be at my school, in my room, with my students and we have a calling to fulfill, we all understand this and that too makes me an outstanding teacher. The rewards I find in teaching are tantamount, just today a student said to me “I used to hate Social Studies but now I love it” eight days in and they’re already loving it. See, I believe that teaching is a calling and those whom are called have already been purposed to achieve great things.

In my opinion, a good teacher should be one who puts her heart into teaching. This is because only by doing so will the students feel their passion and hard work. When a teacher strives hard for the students, students will put in their effort as well. If a teacher dislikes her job, goes to classes in a bad mood, her teaching would also be affected and students would not be able to enjoy lessons as well.

A philosophy of mathematics should be included in an excellent philosophy of education. A philosophy of mathematics should include your thoughts and ideas about what mathematics education is, what impact it has on society, the qualities that make a good teacher, a teacher’s role, research on the standards and instructional strategies, and ways to ensure student are able to learn mathematic concepts in your classroom. Each of these ideas should forever be evolving because we grow as teachers our thought and ideas will grow. I will be discussing my thoughts and ideas on what creates an excellent philosophy of mathematics.

Life experiences convey knowledge to people. Having a lot of experiences helps us improve our way of thinking. It opens our minds and teaches us memorable lessons, lessons that we are able to apply in the future. Every decision we make, every action we produce, helps create the experience of this moment and the next. When reflecting on this semester of Education-1301 Introduction to Teaching, there have been so many new experiences, so many new connections, and so much that I have learned. The experience of this course has provided me with various of frameworks that will improve my way of thinking. I’ve learned many excellent qualities in the short time of this class. It has shown me to be a better educator and take the knowledge I have gained and practice for the future. I have learned a tremendous amount of knowledge about the teaching profession. I have enjoyed working with teachers and have gained some beneficial experiences that will help me in my journey to becoming an educator.

A lot of work has to be done for a teacher to establish authority in the classroom. You must be approachable to parents and students, and be able to

However, a good teacher need to believe that he/she can solve those problems. A teacher is a window through which many young people will see their future, so he/she has to be a fine role model. He/she need to show his/her confidence with the future, thereby teacher can teach student how to believe in themselves.

From the time I was a seven years old till the current day, as a Sophomore at Benedictine University, I have wanted to become a teacher. The four years of high school, Oswego High School, I truly become passionate to become a teacher. I took the necessary general education classes, and my elective classes learning about child development and early childhood education. Once I graduated high school, I felt confident to become a teacher, but I discovered that special education was what I truly wanted to do. From the first day or first grade up to now, I have become a success student, which I can’t wait to become teacher I want to be an aspirational teacher one day to my future students.
