Class meetings are an effective method for modeling, mentoring and coaching in a group setting.

The Characteristics of a Teacher I was told in my earlier years that a teacher is one who imparts knowledge. If that definition is accurate, then all of us as human beings qualify as teachers. In fact, we all impart knowledge at one point or another in our lives. However, a professional teacher is one who is trained and assigned the job to impart knowledge in exchange for an income (my definition). I believe anyone who has chosen the profession to teach has an outstanding responsibility,...

He does not only impart the knowledge of...

Choosing a favorite teacher is fairly difficult when one puts into account all the types of teachers they have known, all of them are important. Teachers are the second most important people in our lives, right after our parents.

As an identical twin my mother has always pulled a few strings to have my...

Sept 2010 THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER Being a teacher, like being a parent, means taking on a complex role, a role that is in constant flux , that needs constant redefinition according to the learner or the child.

Reflections on Beliefs “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires” (William Arthur War). Teaching is more than a profession; it is about being full time parents to the students.

On the other hand,...

Ethics for Teachers Educators are held to a higher standard of behavior than other professionals. The behavior of teachers is judged more harshly. While some wrong behavior is excusable for others, unethical behavior is inexcusable for teachers. Teachers are authority figures, role models, behavioral examples and surrogate parents (Weldon 2003). In some instances the teacher is the only authority figure in a child’s life, so if that trust is broken where is a child to turn? There are many...

At school we always mention how good or bad our teachers are; but we don’t know how hard they work to try to make us learn and feel good.

 Factors that make a class productive and enjoyable Rogers is one of the most wonderful person that I have ever met before. He taught me at historical class when I was in middle school.

I remember crying everyday before school because I dreaded the embarrassment of not knowing English and the humiliation put on me by my...
