Just ask any teacher, I'm sure they'll give you an earful.

I don't know any websites that provide that kind of information for Thai public schools, especially the academic ratings part and i doubt that there's one. Maybe you should contact the Ministry of Education.

some are professionals who are very highly educated and enjoy travel and teaching\n\nand some are backpackers who want to live on the cheap.\n\nI suggest that any school thinking of hiring ANY teacher (both local and foreign) check the credentials and references VERY carefully

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

Students worry more about getting a degree and not about working hard to achieve their goal. It is the money factor that plays a role. Not the knowledge factor. The education system is corrupt. Teacher do not wish to teach. Nor do they believe in putting in that extra effort to make classroom sessions lively. Students on the other hand do not like to work hard. They secure admission on the basis of donations. So, it is the laziness, corruption and lack of interest that is the bane of teaching.

Ask yourself what it is about teaching that you like.\n\nAsk yourself what you don't like.\n\n(Not many of us would put writing lesson plans at the top of our I-just-love-it list.)\n\nOnly you can know whether you will want to continue this as a career.\n\nWhat I can tell you as a teacher with since 1977, is that whole children come into your classroom every day. Some have wonderful lives. Others come from unspeakably awful situations. They are all kids. They all need to be cared for and challenged and supported.\n\nThe teachers who "make it" in the long term learn about boundaries. We know what we can do and what we can't. We are optomisitic, but not sentimental about the future. We understand ourselves and keep expanding that understanding. Most of us could make much more money doing almost anything else, but we do what we do because internally, we have no choice.\n\nChalk dust runs in my veins and in the times of my life when there was no paying job in teaching available, I taught anyone who stood still long enough anything I knew and thought the onther person should know, just like I'm doing now.\n\nIf you MUST teach, you will find the stamina to do it. If there is no inner need to do it, you can still give it a shot, but you will either discover the joy, or quit after a short time.\n\nIn any case, find a mentor, a local teacher you admire who is willing to stand by you as you make these big decisions.\n\nBest wishes.

I'm not a teacher, but I went to our school district's web site and found this information for our local schools as well as learning tools, e-learning, policies, procedures & bylaws, info about each of the schools and their programs, and some cool links for school-age children\n\nYou might also try contacting your local board of ed. or attending PTA meetings

I think it helps.  Depends on what student see as the problem. Students don't like strict teachers at first, but hopefully see that that teacher cares about them.

This question does not belong in this category.  Teaching refers to the education profession and related questions, not "teaching" you the answer to your question.

For some yes.  For others, it's a job.   But considering how little we pay them, you'd think there's something else there besides just a job.\n\nNow consider this.  Teachers are human too.  They have good days and bad.  They have favorites (even if they don't say it).  So what you are feeling might be some of that.

Many and yes.  \n\nI love teaching and the children are a challenge.  I know many who enter the profession end up hating it.  They believe teaching is like a movie where the right teacher (like Robin Williams in Dead Poet's Society) comes into a classroom and inspires the students to do great things.  While this can happen, it usually takes a lot of work behind the scenes that nobody ever sees.  In reality, teaching is about manipulating (in a good way) and motivating students to maintain a controlled environment where students can take the time to see the magic of what you are trying to teach them.\n\nFor most it takes time to develop these skills.  So you have to enter the field of teaching with the correct mindset knowing that until you develop the skills necessary to balance classroom discipline with fun, teaching can be quite frustrating.  With time and understanding, however, teaching to give you lots of excitement and good times.

I wish there was a book.  I've found the best way is to simply talk to other teachers.  Borrow their ideas and shape them into what will work for you and your class.  It seems like at most staff developments the best you can hope to come away with is a few good ideas.

As with all professions, there are people who really like what they do AND are good at teaching. There are others who like what they do BUT are not any good at explaining anything, or simply lack the knowledge (believe me, I work at a school for teachers and some are abysmally ignorant!! and still get to go out and teach). And there are others who don´t like teaching but have to do it (because of the pay, or academic requirements). Those are the worst, I think. \nBut luckily you'll have a good mix of different kinds of teachers. Next time that you feel like attacking a teacher, please stop and think that maybe he/she's just tired and disheartened, and needs some good attitude from the students. I know that a good response works for me!

Hey babe,god only knows what the first reply was all about,bit of a weird one.\n\nAnways.....down to your question \n\nwell what u have written so far is a great start. You know what you want to gain from the job and also you are very passionate about teaching. Be yourself,if there are certain aspects of the job that you think you could change for the better then say so.If there are parts of the job that you will need to learn more from,tell them.\n\nIf you are honest and upfront and come across natural then you will sail it. Dont just say what you think they want to hear.Be honest,upfront and most importantly,let your personality shine through. Good luck hunny.Mean that.Wish you all the best.Your brave wanting to be a teacher,id crap my pants at the thought of 40 faces staring at me hoping i know the answer.xxxxx
