![]() He is honestly the best teacher I've ever had and has really inspired me, I would honestly consider becoming a teacher solely because of him.Īs for dislike, the other Socials teacher in my school is the perfect example. I am genuinely interested in everything he says, impressed by his knowledge, and I almost always do the homework that is expected. ![]() My teacher stands in front of the room at the beginning of class and shows us a Powerpoint, everyone takes notes and he periodically stops educating to tell interesting anecdotes, ask students questions and receive unasked contribution from his students. My class is amazingly well behaved, we are all seated before the second bell without being asked, we never talk during class and when silence is expected the room is almost deathly quiet. The funny thing is that he is such a great teacher and person in general he rarely needs to remind people to give him respect. My current Social Studies teacher is my ideal teacher, he is knowledgeable, funny, casual yet very strict and demands respect. This used to be a massive problem at the comprehensive I attended when I was a teen, where teachers would routinely discipline my friends and me for little to no reason because they were too afraid to discipline the vast majority of gangsters in the class. I also hate teachers who have troubles controlling the class and think that the best way to show their dominance is to pick on the nerdy kids who they know won't fight back. I hate teachers who want to think of the students as their friends, who go into long discussions unrelated to the subject without prompting. Traits I like least in teachers tend to focus around class control and interaction. We still keep in touch to this day when I have philosophical questions to ask him and he always researches the answers and replies even though he's no longer my teacher! A love of the subject bordering on the esoteric is necessary to be a truly great teacher. He loved his subject and would research any questions one asked him in his spare time. My absolute favourite ever teacher was genuinely inspiring. Treat the student as an equal who wishes to learn, not as something of less value. Well a teacher that doesn't allow creative flow to an extent, teachers who give up on unruly students, and condescending attitudes. ![]() it's a life experience, and those who teach will learn in the process.ĮDIT: Forgot dislikes. I could go on and on and on in a long drawn out speech, but basically: A teacher's job isn't to teach something, but to open up a gateway so that the student can learn the material in a way that won't dredge their brain into oblivion. If you yourself do not see the value of a certain material you are to teach, then do not be afraid to ask your fellow staff members and higher ups about how it is applied in the real world. This does not mean do the work for them, simply show them, and give them little nudges here and there along the way. In this aspect you have to be able to teach the whole class, and go around the room helping others who didn't catch on. It's almost 100% gaurunteed that not everyone will get it. When teaching someone how to do that, you have to be able to be flexible with your technique. The teacher who encourages a child even if they've shown lack of common sense at every turn will be the teacher who changes that child's life. The people who go into teaching for a career do so out of a love for teaching, not for the job. I'll use my current math teacher as an example (because he's fricking awesome)
