the worst feeling
there, in either boring lectures where they would have rather slept or would have rather been at home, or have sat through lectures that always had those students engaged and wanting to learn. The question to ask ourselves is what makes a good teacher, and what makes a bad teacher? What does a great teacher have, that a terrible teacher does not? There are many components that come together to make good and bad teachers. Being a good or bad teacher depends on quite a bit. Well, a good teacher has qualities that keep students engaged. They are fun, nice and have great personalities. Those teachers want to be in the classroom teaching. They do not care if they have any bad seeds in the class. All that good teachers care about is what they do and why they are doing it. A terrible teacher bores the students in his or her classroom. Bad teachers have qualities like terrible or boring personalities, or just don’t care enough to make a class amazing. But there are three qualities that really separate good teachers from bad teachers. It really all depends upon the teachers tone, lesson plans, and availability. Without these three qualities, there really would be no good teachers or bad teachers.

A make or break quality for a teacher is their tone. The tone is a very important thing while teaching, it is a must have for any teacher. If a teacher speaks with a low or monotone voice, students will get bored easily. A monotone voice is almost like listening to white noise, it is dull and puts people to sleep. Students have all had that one teacher, including myself, that made the student’s feel like the class would never end. Those are the teacher’s that make a classroom environment boring. That is probably the worst feeling for a student. If it’s a class that is 80 minutes every day, sitting in that class with a monotone teacher really makes the students not want to be there. This also contributes to students skipping that class in the future just to avoid what they would

Knowledgeable – It is very important for a teacher to master the subject, for a teacher cannot teach on a subject he/she does not understand.

Interactive – A good teacher should be able to create a teaching environment where all students are able to participate equally. The previous mentioned qualities are all important that a good teacher should have; however, “passion” stand above all the rest. Passion is the key for one to improve him/herself and to enjoy the environment. It is difficult to make someone to want education, but it is a teacher’s responsibility to motivate his/her student to work hard and to improve. Without passion one will not be able to create a suitable…

    Lively and entertaining. A lively and entertaining teacher grabs and maintains the attention of the class, and makes learning a fun experience whilst maintaining or improving motivation. If the teacher is dull and boring the class will not pay attention to what is being taught and this will also reduce motivation. A lively and entertaining lesson engages and involves students, and makes it easier for them to become participants in the lesson rather than a spectator.…

    Different students have different perspectives for a teacher. Some students guess teachers should be rewarded and some others students do think so. The teachers have to try to figure out how to teach every student the same way. They have to sum up how to teach every student but try to amount what helps them understand the lesson. Not every student learns the same way they all learn a different way. Teachers can give different ideas to students to make them learn the lesson better.…

    Looking back on my education, there are plenty of teachers that I felt were effective in getting me to learn material, but I will mention just two. Teacher A was my 8th grade and 10th grade math teacher. He didn’t necessarily make math easier in any way, but he made math much more fun because you looked forward to going to his class. Teacher A always used simple jokes, often requiring a very dry humor, which made me constantly pay attention in class so I could catch his different jokes. He also had the ability to demand respect in his class without ever really enforcing anything. He was simply such an amazing teacher that everyone respected his class and no one ever acted up. Teacher B, my 8th grade science teacher, also had a big impact on my education for the better. I enjoyed going to her classes because she was able to connect with me and a few of my friends on more of a personal level. She took an interest in our lives and made sure we were all on the path toward better futures. She, unlike Teacher A, demanded respect in her classroom in more of an authoritative way. Her students knew that if they acted up, she would not skip a beat to send them to the office, resulting in very few problems.…

    People also learn better through preparation and the enthusiasm that the teacher shares with her students. I find that a successful teacher makes new material fun and fool students into learning. Students enjoy and comprehend the material when they don’t realize they are learning. Teachers should make the goal to always encourage and inspire students to learn.…

    As a teacher, I believe you need to set the tone of the classroom and let them know that you are in control. The medium or atmosphere of the classroom needs to be accepting and eager to learn. All of the classes that I had observed, had great classroom atmospheres. By saying "great classroom atmospheres", I mean that all the students were attentive to the teacher, eager to learn, asking questions and that no one person in the…

    Have you ever had One of those teacher’s? Do you know the type I mean? That amazing teacher who always went the extra mile to help you figure out the solution to the tough problems, or even the one who always seemed to make the problems that much tougher just to mess with you. In my experiences I have had both, and if I were to choose the type of teacher that had to teach my children I would want the teacher who went the extra mile. The teacher who believes that all students have the ability to succeed and become members of the elite. The teacher who helps students to learn to think for themselves not just act like parrots and repeat the information verbatim. Teachers who teach hands on and get the students interested…

    First, every teacher’s logic is to say learning is fun. But we all know the truth learning is not fun unless the teacher’s make it interesting. Some teacher’s go on teaching in class for a long time nonstop so what’s the purpose for class. For example: two hour block schedule just teaching and talking. What make it worst the subject is boring like history, math, chemistry, and reading, coming from a student like me those subject’s I don’t like and every teachers were boring. This what I don’t get a lot of teacher’s don’t care if they’re boring but know they’re boring to get on student’s nerve that’s why we don’t go to class.…

    As a teacher there is a responsibility to your students to create an environment that is conducive to learning. You must be able to look at each one of your students as an individual and not lump everyone together and teach to the masses. "One of the first requirements of teaching is that you understand how students think and how they view the world." (Chapter 2 page 2) An effective teacher is one who goes out of their way to find out about their students individual situations and make a lesson plan that takes those factors into account. Being creative while using the theories and education they themselves posses should give a teacher a fair chance at reaching her students without leaving anyone behind. Following…

    First, the presence of the teacher can have an impact on how well students learn and contribute to class discussion. I learned that by making eye contact and interacting with all students, rather than a select few, I am creating a comfortable environment in which students want to be involved. Secondly, I learned that when creating lesson plans sometimes less is more. I often get excited to teach a topic and relay too much information at once. Children, especially lower school, need time to process and make sense of information and I have come to realize that I need break down some of the bigger topics into smaller ones to help with…

    Teachers all learn different ways and all have different teaching abilities. Students all also have a specific way they learn. The two teachers that have made the biggest impact in my life were my AP English teacher Mrs. Fale and my Chemistry teacher Mr. Barrington. They both had great qualities I admired, including; great structure, willingness to help, patience, and kindness. My AP English teacher was understanding and helped me know exactly the format and what I needed to work on for my papers. Mr. Barrington, my Chemistry, on the other hand, loved when we would ask questions and teach our classmates, he was very hands on.…
