the teachers I observed had many different ways to manage their classroom. Many of their ways were similar, but there were some differences too. I noticed that the female teachers used songs to get the children from one activity to another while the male teacher went right into the next lesson. All of the teachers welcomed their students as they came into the classroom. Mrs. Pollard sang the hello song to them and Mrs. Kraus did as well. After they welcomed the children, all of the teachers had their
“A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind and touches a heart” (Anon). Teaching is something that has always been close to my heart. Ever since I was a little girl all I ever remember wanting to be is a teacher. I was fortunate enough to have many teachers that encouraged and inspired this dream. I have always had the urge to help others understand, to improve someone’s life in any way I can. I know that teaching can be a very tiring profession but I feel the opportunity to inspire, empower and shape
Hmm, he is the one who marks my work, not you! Why does that matter? Because we are to respect our teachers, when I am taught macroevolution, I take on board what my teacher teaches, when I am given homework on that subject I would describe the processes my teacher has taught me, I am simply regurgitating this fairy story that I need to get as accurate as possible, after all how could I criticise something I did not understand the concept of, in fact I use the words- proposed, theory, dogma, ideology
The career I chose that I believe wouldn't suit me was a teacher, one of the reasons being that Teaching just isn't something I would like to do. I don't believe I could handle being a teacher, grading papers constantly, dealing with the disrespectful kids. When looking at the careers of being a Social Worker and a Teacher, being a Social Worker is clearly the best option for me because it deals with all kids and gives me the opportunity to help children have a better life. Teaching
The roles of teachers I believe teachers play multiple roles that extend beyond the classroom. They take classes continuously, attend professional development sessions, and research new approaches to learning on their own time. These are done with the purpose of expanding their knowledge in teaching and to ensure that the school day runs smoothly for the entire class. For example, Mrs. Shuffield spend her breaks researching videos to enhance her writing and science lessons. This week, she presented
remember a time in my life where I didn’t want to be a teacher; I have also grown up with lots of teachers in my family. Both my aunts on my mom’s side of the family are teachers. My aunt Tricia is a professor at Holy Family University. Although my aunt Tricia has six kids at home and loves kids she has always said she enjoys teaching older students rather than younger. That’s not the case for my Aunt Julie though. My aunt Julie is a teacher at a preschool. My aunt Julie always has the best stories
A great teacher like Mrs. Lee does not just teach students but has the remarkable ability to change a student’s way of learning. School has always been important to me and I have been lucky enough to have had some very good teachers along the way. The perquisite for me having all those good teachers is I always knew what I wanted to do with my life. As a student, it was advantageous to have a teacher that can have such an impact on me. Mrs. Lee was my eight grade English Teacher. She was a powerful
Teachers have been in existence for thousands of years, influencing the lives of countless people. A teacher as “a person who teaches” and teaching as “giving systematic information to a person or about a subject or skill.” Yet, these definitions do not sufficiently explain the true role of a teacher. Clearly, a teacher provides information and imparts knowledge to his or her students. A teacher, however, is more than an instructor; a teacher is a motivator, a counsellor, and an ally. Teacher may
batch came to me asking what a teacher is. “A teacher is someone who teaches.” I answered. “That’s it? That’s your definition? Well, never mind.” The girl said. And then, I was like, what? Why would she ask me such a question? It really bothered me the whole day. Then, I thought to myself, “Well, a teacher could be anything or anyone as long as that thing or that person contributes to our knowledge.” That’s the time I realized that a teacher is not simply a teacher. There’s more to it than a dictionary
People say that “Teacher is not a profession, it’s a vocation.” Teacher is the mother of all professions; they are the reasons why we have good Doctors and Nurses, intelligent Engineers and Architects, and excellent Lawyers and many more. So, what is a teacher for you? A pleasant morning to everyone. Today I am in the new transitions of life very far from my job before as a freelance model/actor and photographer at the same time and I’m not a typical student anymore. I am now in the genre of challenge
faculty possible. Teachers being given the luxury of tenure are hurting student performance and the performance of America. Tenure is not only allowing teachers to keep their jobs secure based off
the children were engaged in free play activities. However, about five minutes later the teacher called them to the music center. She informed them that they would do a music and movement activity inside because of the weather (it had been raining earlier that morning). There were ten children present along with two teachers. The children appeared to be happy and engaged. Teacher Lesson Plans The teacher did use a lesson plan. She pulled her resources from the Creative Curriculum for all of her
For this assignment we had to interview a teacher. The teacher I chose was Mrs. Gilbert. She is a special education counselor and algebra teacher. She has been a huge influence on my life. I can not wait to share the things I have learned from her in this interview. First question was what made you a teacher? She started to explain that in Sophomore year of high school she was signed up as a peer helper tutor which means she help special needs children with their homework. According to Mrs. Gilbert
for Teachers President Barack Obama said in a recent speech that “The future belongs to the nation that best educates its citizens … It is time to give all Americans a complete and competitive education” (Stout). His first point has become evident over time. The nations that best educate their children will have power in the future. He also mentions giving Americans a competitive education. This is referring to implementing a form of merit pay for teachers; paying bonuses to a teachers’ salary
strategies work in the classrooms come from teachers because they are daily working in them. The CCSS (Common Core Standards) was implemented as a guide for teachers what students need to be learning in school. It doesn’t show how teachers should teach in the classroom. The people that decide how to teach in the administration of schools and teachers. They decide what strategies will work best to help the students to learn better. Professional Development for teachers are very important to discuss and collaborate
I've known for a while that I want to do something that helps better shape the lives of young people. I have had some excellent teachers over the years, and I want to be able to do what they did for me for other students. My mother and a few of my other relatives and family friends are teachers, so I've seen and heard about the experience firsthand for most of life. Sometimes my mom comes home and says she had a great day and she loves her job, but other times she is pretty miserable. Seeing the
Collaboration between teachers is a key component to professional development that will lead to higher student achievement. There is a need for schools to set up time for teachers to be able to collaborate together. This allows for teachers to help each other, matchup content, teach each other new and best practices, troubleshoot student issues just to name a few of the areas that collaboration time can help foster within a school. The key is to build time for teachers to be able to collaborate
Teacher Interview While attending South Elementary School in Marshall, Illinois, I have learned a lot about the daily life of working within a school from interviewing two different teachers. I have never realized how much work goes into being a teacher no matter the grade being taught. I am so glad that I got the opportunity to participate within this program and getting to talk to these teachers. It has made me realize even more that I have chosen the right career path for myself. While interviewing
Throughout most of my life, I’ve always thought that being a teacher would be fun, especially teaching middle school students. I would get to interact with kids while I help them learn. The job title that I would have would be a middle school teacher. My major qualifies me for being a middle school teacher, but I could also teach other elementary grades (“How to Write a Teacher Job Description.” Jobs, ). “Middle school teachers educate students typically in sixth through eighth grade” (“Summary”)
Best Teacher, Worst Teacher Although I have had many different types of teachers, there are two that stick out more than any others. The first was my third and sixth grade teacher. She was the best teacher I ever had. The second was my seventh grade teacher. She was the worst I think a student could have had. Both, these teachers had very different teaching styles and very different out looks on teaching. To be an effective teacher the teacher must respect the student and
