I was terribly near-sighted & my parents were unable to detect it...one day when I couldn't read the black board, my teacher had me come about 3' away from the board & i still couldn't read it so she sent me home with a note, my parents got me into the eye doctor & i got corrective lenses which i had desparately...hat's off, Ms. Chaudoin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of all my teachers past and present ... the difference between a good teacher and a great teacher is passion for the subject of the course combined with passion for teaching.

My favorite teacher (Maria Luise Auer) never teached in my class but in my school, but she impressed me very much:\nfor example: we were visiting an ice cave during night (it was cold, slippery and we had torches to see something), I was very anxious, she took my hand and brought me savely to the cave; she showed me how to make a bed properly; during the breaks in school she always had time for me, we talked; and while other pupils wrote the names of bands, actors et cetera on their school stuff, I wrote her name on mine;\nWhen she went to theater with her class I could accompany them; \nNow, I´m almost 9 years off this school, I can call her by her first name, we are still happy when we see each other,...\nI never saw her as a "teacher", I always saw her as my best friend although I have very many respect of her. \nWe know each other for almost 12 years now and there is not much about what I´m more happy like about this!! \n\nShe is really the cutest and greatest teacher in the whole world and she is also like an older sister for me.

I had an amazing english teacher who taught us Shakespeare.  He would make us read all the 'little parts' while he did the 'big parts' with this fantastic accent he made up depending on the role.  He really 'owned' the material and knew stories very well that he made a lasting impression on me and to this day I love Shakepeare.\n\nI think, though, that all the teachers who made lasting impressions on me had one thing in common - they all passionately loved the material they taugt, from history to math to english or art.  It was their love for the material that influenced me to learn more about it.  That kind of excitement for something is catchy.

You just answered my question (What is the most important thing you ever learned?) in the way that makes a teacher trainer believe in what she is doing!\nLook, I can't speak for the UK these days. Got qulaified -Got out! I'm on International Eductaion now and it's been my passport to the world...and a vocation I still believe in after...well too many years at the chalk face! The profession doesn't need people to make up numbers, as much as it needs dedicated professionals who seek a reward far richer than gold. I have funny feeling you are just the sort of teacher the kids are so desperately needing (and frankly deserve!)...so hang in there, cos it really is worth the slog. You can contact me for info about a curriculum based on learning to learn for life ...not for tests or govt. figures, if you're interested. jacquelinewebb@isoz.ch.

Hello,\n     Well I am only a 16 year old student, but I believe that teachers should have the following qualities...\n\n1) (S)he should know her subject well. (Obvious, isnt it?)\n\n2) (S)he should not be a bully.\n\n3) (S)he should have the ability to keep the subject flowing, without the students getting bored. (Dont ask me how... I just study here ;-) )\n\n4) (S)he should make sure every1 participates. Every1 hates a dictator.\n\n5) (S)he should have a clear, realistic idea of the progress she wants to make in a class. This prevents teachers from rushing through chapters in the end.\n\n6) Also, (S)he should make sure that every1 knows the basics. Often in the higher classes, teachers complain that they always get a bunch of dunces, but in reality, its just because of a weak foundation that a building grows shaky, and ultimately crumbles.\n\nAbout the exchange teacher bit, I have no idea, cuz our skool does not have an exchange program. (Any ideas how I can change it??) Oh, and keep a pleasant face...

My favorite teacher of all time was in her 50s. She loved kids and loved doing projects with us. She taught Social Studies/Humanities/History, and when we studied the Olympics in her class, she came up with her own version called the Olympitts (her name was Mrs. Pitts). She rocked.

Here are a few tips:\nAlways keep the class lively by asking them questions related to the lesson and giving them related puzzles to solve.\nTry to interact more often rather than just explain every sentence in the textbook.\nImprove speech. Your voice and the way you talk could go a long way in your teaching carreer.\nIt's evident from the way you asked the question that your grammar could do with some improvement too. It'll help you explain any doubts the students might have about word problems.\nImprove patience level. Math is a subject which torments students and very often many students come to you with the same doubts. Don't snap at them. Patiently clear each and everyone's doubt.\n\nI hope these helped you. Have a successful teaching life!

My favorite teacher would have been Wayne Pelts hands down!  Mr. Pelts was my 11th grade History teacher.  He also was my "coach" for a state competition in both 11th and 12th grade.  He was so wonderful.  He let us be us.  I was an honor student and had just moved to te school in the 11th grade.  So many of my classmates were upset of my advanced grades.  Mr. Pelts reminded me that I was going to school for me not others.  He was constantly encouraging us to be ourselves and he even included that into his studies.  He did not walk into class on the first day and lay down the rules...instead he came in and told us his name and said that this was his day to learn... about us.  It has been over 14 years since I had him as a teacher and to this day whenever I see him, he is still a friend and not just another teacher!\n\nAs for learning with him, he was awesome!  He brought the past to life!  He compared history to things that one would never imagine.  One of the funniest things I think that he did, was let a Senior Class paint his classroom.  It was all of these bright, wonderful, happy colors that realeased our tensions when we walked into his class.  And if you had emotions, he let you literally write them on the wall as long as it was not profound.\n\nMR PELTZ made me who I am today, and that, I am so proud to say!\n\n=0)

I had some great teachers when I was in elementary-h.s. and the best ones influenced me to go on and be a teacher myself. What I learned from them, I applied in my classroom. What I learned from the not so good teachers (thank goodness those were very few) I remembered never to do in my class.\n\nI went back and thanked my high school teachers who had an impact on me. I told them that they had such an impact, it influenced my future to become a teacher. It is one of the best things you can do for someone who did something positive in your life...reward them by telling them that.

Have a good attitude. Most teachers have great ideas that cannot fly without students being willing to go on the journey.  Nobody can have fun if they are constantly being corrected or yelled at nor can a teacher be fun if they are always weary of behavior.

A teacher should be able to:\n-work well with people (adults, too...parents, administrators, etc.)\n-be able to give instructions\n-understand the subject matter they are going to teach\n-be flexible\n-think on their feet\n-communicate well\n\nAnd much, much more!

I loved the subjects with the most enthusiastic and engaging teachers...for me, that was English.  I guess that's why I became a hs English teacher!
