Because they don't want to just HAND you answers.  They want to make you think for yourself first, and explore all the options, and if you still don't reach the answer, they tell it to you.\n\nLearn to think.

I think that's correct. To attract good people in any profession; the pay has to be good. Lots of schools will want the best teachers, and will be prepared to pay a decent salary. In order to keep the good teachers, the current school will have to provide a good salary which matches the decent salary provided by the other school - hence the statement is proved true.

because they know what is best for us.  they are able to see the full picture.  they can base a judgement on your relationship without feeling the "love" you feel for the person.  these people, however, should not allow you to lose the love of your life, only help you to make decisions.

While it is true that teachers are human and may not word a question exactly right that makes it clear, they do not ask the "wrong" question.  They are asking the student what they believe is important for the student to learn and know.  If you pay attention in class, the teacher usually gives out clues during lectures as to what they think is important for you to know; also when they point out certain readings, that is usually important material to know.

Basically, they're asking "Out of all the people that applied for this position, why do you think we should choose you?". In other words, you have to sell yourself. You have to tell them what is so special about you that will make you stand out from the rest. If you had experience in teaching, then say that you will brng your expertise into the classroom from your previous teaching experience. Say that you will bring a positive attitude and tons of energy to the classroom, which will facilitate the learning of your students. In other words, tell them what do you have to offer to your students and the school that is rare. \n\nFor the second question, they're asking you, how your skills and abilities will facilitate YOUR growth in the workplace. So you can say something like "Since I bring a lot of energy to the classroom, the students will be more willing to participate in my exciting activities. This will give me an opportunity to learn more about my students and the special needs that they might have. This will help me in my future because I will know how to handle different personlity types and different learning styles that students have." Hope this helps! Good luck!

The fact is that after years of learning, someone along the line decided to take the fun out of it and give you book work, busy work, and other things.  A lot of teachers are burned out with teaching kids who are burned out and don't want to learn anymore and it just becomes a vicious cycle.  \n\nStick in there.  This is your life.  You are going to make it whatever you want it to be.  Your teachers are not going to dictate your life forever.  Whatever you choose to learn will either help or hinder you, so make what you have left of school count.  Make school about you, because your grades, your test scores, your choices will only affect you.  You can make your life better after you get done with this drudgery called school if you take it seriously now.\n\nJust do it for you and nobody else.

ah yes, but you only see the best of the best, that's all we take in from there.  I had a math teacher from there, great guy, but you talk to him about his home land he didn't think the people there are all that smart.

First, ignore the snide idiot above.  You are a teacher, not a student.\n\n\nGood teachers: \n• have a sense of purpose; \n• have expectations of success for all students; \n• tolerate ambiguity; \n• demonstrate a willingness to adapt and change to meet student needs; \n• are comfortable with not knowing; \n• reflect on their work; \n• learn from a variety of models; \n• enjoy their work and their students. \n\n\nGood teachers have a sense of purpose. \nStudents are in school for a reason.  This might be to pass the exam, or to get a good job.  A good teacher knows what their students need and makes lessons plans with aims and objectives that fill that need. You can't be good in a generic sense; you have to be good for something.\n\nGood teachers have expectations of success for all students. \nA good teacher will have expectations about what happens in their classroom, based on the goals they are trying to achieve. If you want to prepare your students for employment, you expect punctuality and good attendance. If you teach an exam preparation class, you spend time explaining the format of the test and helping students to improve their test-taking skills. And if you want your students to become better, more involved readers, you allow time for reading and provide access to books. A good teacher knows what the students need and tells the students what they expect from them during class time.\n\nGood teachers know how to live with ambiguity. \nOne of the greatest challenges of teaching stems from the lack of immediate, accurate feedback. The student who walks out of your classroom tonight shaking his head and muttering under his breath about algebra may burst into class tomorrow proclaiming his triumph over math, and thanking you for the previous lesson. There is no way to predict precisely what the long-term results of our work will be. But if we have a sense of purpose informing our choice of strategies and materials, and we try to cultivate expectations of success for all our students, we will be less likely to dwell on that unpredictability, choosing instead to focus on what we can control, and trusting that thoughtful preparation makes good outcomes more likely than bad ones. \n\nGood teachers adapt and change to meet student needs. \nCan we really claim to have taught if no one learned? If none of our students ever pick up a book outside of the classroom, have we really taught them to be better readers? We don't always think about these issues, but they are at the heart of effective teaching. A great lesson plan and a great lesson are two entirely different things; it's nice when one follows the other, but we all know that it doesn't always work out that way. We teach so that students will learn, and when learning doesn't happen, we need to be willing to devise new strategies, think in new ways, and generally do anything possible to revive the learning process. It's wonderful to have a good methodology, but it's better to have students engaged in good learning. \n\nGood teachers are reflective. \nThis may be the only infallible, absolute characteristic of all good teachers, because without it, none of the other traits we've discussed can fully mature. Good teachers routinely think about and reflect on their classes, their students, their methods, and their materials. They compare and contrast, draw parallels and distinctions, review, remove and restore. Failing to observe what happens in our classes on a daily basis disconnects us from the teaching and learning process, because it's impossible to create connectivity if you've disconnected yourself. \n\nGood teachers are comfortable with not knowing. \nIf we reflect honestly and thoughtfully on what happens in our classes, we will often find dilemmas we cannot immediately resolve, questions we cannot answer. Our teaching benefits if we can live for a little while with a question, think and observe, and let an answer de

Teachers need to be taught how they should behave in front of their students.  Knowledable teachers are not good enough.  They language they used and how they present themselves are important too.

I use my theory and knowledge of teaching every day in the classroom.  All the time.  I think that's what you're asking.

I've noticed that also. People at the top of their class get rewarded for their grades, or for being teachers' favorites. Some people try very hard, yet no one ever recgonizes it. I know (from experience) that people don't need to try very hard to be the top of their class, or even grade, but some people I know work extremely hard to get the 85% on the test, but some people who study for a few minutes get the 95% and get congratulated.\n\nEffort needs to be rewarded too.

Our actions can have effects that travel and/ or we may be unaware of how things affect those around us. As a teacher, I wonder at how i'm affecting these kids lives. Many really like me and i wonder if they'll remember me for a long time (like i remember some of my teachers) and how much do i shape them.

Most teachers will reward you for simply doing your work and doing it on time. Paying attention and understanding what the teacher expects is probably the most important key to getting good grades. When you don't understand, ask for help. Most teachers tend to give better grades to the students they know are really trying and want to help you. There is no secret, read your books, do your homework, and ask questions.
