gosh, I had no idea what to do when I first started teaching.  a good mentor helps you over that first initial shock of being in front of the class.

In what context? Students as experts teaching novice students in a particular area? The effectiveness of expert teachers vs. novice teachers?  \n\nThe implications are simple. Experience = effectiveness, given no burnout and good teacher motivation. So when you're a novice, turn to experienced teachers for mentorship. Build your own expertise through time and experience. When you reach effective levels of experience, be a mentor to those just starting out.

MUST LOVE CHILDREN.  The most important factor in being a "good teacher" is to have a love for children and a great deal of patience.

Your training should have  covered  most of  that--how  about talking  with  other, older  teachers  and  maybe  they will  share  their personal  pearls of  wisdom.\n\nBUT , as  an educator, it is  also  your  responsibility to LISTEN to  what  the  students say,  no matter how  far- fetched it may be.Get  to  know  your  students and  gain their  trust-you  may be the first one  to notice continuing abuse  or  neglect of the lil  ones !

A master teacher will have mastered the art of teaching above all else.  Knowing a specific subject is secondary to master teacher skills.  A master teacher will impart into their students a life long desire for learning and will inspire them to search out answers for themselves.  A master teacher will also place supreme importance on reading.  If a teacher encourages reading skills a student will always be able to learn anything.

Thorough knowledge is an added advantage but if a teacher is not sincere for his work or not dedicated to his proffession then he's not worthed. a teacher should always be approachable for kids.

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.

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.

Doesn't your school provide these types of resources for teachers?

Why? \nAre you writing your resume for a teaching job? LOL...\n\nWell, teaching philosophy is about your views and beliefs on teaching. \n1.Knowledge is the most precious thing you gain in this world apart from the materialitic possessions. \nSo, what would you do with the knowelege? \nHow did you first earned the knowledge?\n\n2. You would like to share the knowledge with someone, don't you?\n3. How will you share, you have to teach?. to whom and how?.\n4. Also think about improving the knowedge you obtained from your mentor or teacher.\n\n4. you would like to be a role model to the future young generation, you must be interested in teaching and also you should have certain basic principles that you will adhere while taking on the journey of teaching. \n\nAll these constitutes the principles or philosophy of teaching.\n\nI might not have said all, but a few to start with......

Of course. You can "lead" them to the answer, letting them solve the problem with clues. Or you can offer multiple choice answers. Or you can help them understand the problem by showing which answers are not possible (elimination of choices). Stimulating young minds is a challenge that is very rewarding. When done correctly, children gain confidence in their own abilities and excel. Of course, it helps if the teacher really understands the concepts they are teaching. So many teachers are versed in education, but not in the subject matter. A mathematician who is taught to teach is a far better math teacher than an educator who "learns" math.

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.

A good teacher will seek additional help for the child as well as work as many interventions into the classroom as possible.  Discussions with parents and other school staff would also be happening.   Also, talk with the student, sometimes knowing you have someone trust worthy to talk to can help a lot!

A good teacher is one who knows the capabilities of the students and makes sure that they are met.  They know when a student is frustrated and will find them help to get them to the point with the class without making it obvious that they are struggling.  A good teacher knows when a student is bored to death, and will liven the class up to the point where students aren't as bored.  They are usually kind to other members of the faculty and treat everyone with respect and show compassion and the good characteristics of humans.

Not at all! Teaching is a physically and intellectually challenging job, and most teachers are up to the task. Those who are not should be weeded out to seek employment elsewhere. There are many who "can't" who TRY to teach, but they "can't" do that either.\n\nChow!!

A good teacher is first a great teacher who has mastered the concept of teaching no matter what the subject.  A good teacher will giver her students a hunger and desire for lifelong learning, understanding that what can be taught in class is limited but, by teaching how to learn her student will always be able to educate himself after his school days are over.  A good teacher also is not afraid to discipline when teaching is disrupted.  Respect for learning must be a part of good teaching regardless of the subject matter.

What is important for the students to learn and why.\n\nMost schools (districts, etc.) have a published philosophy that teachers are expected to abide by. Your philosophy may not be exactly the same, but if it's too divergent, it may be hard to work there. The more you agree with the school's philosophy, the easier it will be to do things their way.
