...Teacher and the Best Personality A teacher is a person who provides education for students. A person who wishes to become a teacher must first obtain specified professional qualifications from a university. A teacher's professional duties may extend beyond formal teaching. Outside of the classroom teachers may accompany students on field trips, supervise study halls, help with the organization of school functions, and serve as supervisors for extracurricular activities. In some education systems, teachers may have responsibility for student discipline. A great teacher is very engaging and holds the attention of students in all discussions. He has high expectations of their students and encourages everyone to always work at their best level. My best teacher and the best personality among all teachers in Punjab University College of Art & Design is one and only “Sir Arif Khan”. He is a renowned Drawing & Calligraphic Painter. He is not only the teacher, but he is the mentor of teachers and friend of his every single student. He is so polite and intelligent teacher. Almost he is teaching in this university for approximately 23 years. Although he is one of the country’s best design schools. He deserves recognition for his combination of talent as a painter and talent as a teacher. Sir Arif khan is a talented abstract painter and designer whose work has been featured in group exhibitions. He also receives almost unanimously high marks from his students for his ability...

...PARENTS ARE THE BEST TEACHERS Parents are the people from whom you can learn more because all the time you'll be at your side and the love they have you can become your best teachers but not always so. The total of time a adolescent interrelates with paternities makes them the most powerful force in a child´s life. The child gets to learn the most basics of things like walking, speaking and interacting with others. It is under the protections of parents that a child learns to behave in society and to comfort him or herself. Although parents are the most influential teachers in their children’s life, they may not be regarded as the best teachers. Parents generally provide a biased view of the world; they always favor their child, and thus they cannot provide a complete panoramic view of the society. Also parents may set a bad example for their child abusing and fighting amongst themselves. Psychologists and recent crime charts have proved that young outlaws generally come from disrespectful families, and have grown up in extreme environments. A child interacts with many kinds of teachers at schools and colleges. Although these teachers, being professionals, have limited time to devote to a child, they provide a complete a diverse view to their students. They provide unbiased guidance to a child. During the years of adolescence, children tend to be aggressive and nonconforming to others view. So the parents need to act like friends rather than teachers to get their experiences...

...Obviously, the first teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our parents. They teach us to walk, to speak, and to have good manners before we reach "the real world." More than even the professional teachers that we have in school, parents are generally the most involved in the development and education of children. Almost for sure our parents are the best teachers at the beginning of our lives, which actually corresponds to the parents' role in nature. Parents are most committed and involved in teaching their children; they have a kind of instinct to sacrifice a part of themselves for the betterment of their children. They love us and have great patience while passing down their knowledge to us. They wish us a success and thus will not teach us bad things. And of course, implicit learning occurs when children unconsciously copy some of their parents' habits and styles of behavior. During the second stage of child development, adolescence, parents can still be in the best position to offer advice even though the children might not accept it. In this case, perhaps the child's friends would be the best teachers. Adolescents are notoriously rebellious in many cultures and may automatically reject any advice from their parents. My first marriage for instance, was solely a matter of doing the opposite when my parents tried to intrude in offering their advice. So in such matters, parents should be much more flexible and be rather the partners with their children. So we can...

Then, I started my own rock band and made several records of my songs and used them as gifts to my friends in my high-school graduation ceremony. And now I still love singing songs but only to myself but to my beloved girl as well. I am nuts about music! (119) 2.政治/ 一次XX的经历 I may go into politics, just like Bill Clinton. I used to run for student body president of my university. Because if I want to become a politician one day, I should get some experience under my belt now. On that day, I gave an election speech in front of 1500 people including my best friends and my teachers. It so was fortunate that none of them noticed I was so nervous that my voice couldn’t help trembling. I kept telling myself that I must hold on, and at last I won it by a hair, just 10 votes. My girlfriend Alexandre rushed onto the stage and gave me a quick kiss. That really made my day! (117) 3.礼物,发明>>电脑 I am a frequent user of computer.

...as long as our students feel good about themselves.” Schools have stopped teaching important facts. Some teachers do not feel their students need to know what was taught back in the day. According to Charles J. Sykes, “In a 1990 survey of college seniors, 42 percent couldn’t name the dates of the War Between the States within half a century” ( Sykes, 4). Why don’t our teachers care anymore about teaching about important events or even science? Many of them have said it is because they just are not useful facts. I would have to disagree. I believe that you should know the background of this country you live in. I think students need to be taught about our founding fathers. I fear for our future generations. The school systems are dumbing our students down and they are too worried about how the students are feeling than what they are learning. So the question we are all asking teachers along with the school system is, “Why are we allowing students to be dumbed down?” How are we going to elect a president in the future who never had a background in math, science, or most importantly, history? Our future generation does not know what we were taught when we were in school. Some public schools have even removed certain subjects because they are not necessary or the school cannot afford them. Can we put a price tag on education? I would hope not. I think principals and teachers need to step up a notch and really focus on the learning aspect of school and not just the social and psychological...

...Autumn Simpson Foundations of Education Mitzi Nelson 1/23/2014 Philosophy on Education I have learned from personal experiences what a good teacher is like. Growing up, I was a very shy student. I did not talk much, or feel the need to make friendships within each classroom, including with the teacher. In tenth grade, I was in a geometry class with a teacher named Mr. Hungate. He was the first person to see potential in me and the first to teach me how to come out of my shell. I am very thankful to have met him, because I wouldn’t have turned out the way I am. I know now that my calling is to teach, and I have decided that I will use him as a prime example of what a successful teacher is. In my opinion, education is a unique experience for each student that enters a classroom, and it is the teacher’s duty to make the student as comfortable as possible with that certain subject. As Mr. Hungate showed in every class period, a teacher should recognize that they are being trusted with the education of young people, therefore they must teach each student not only academically, but morally as well. I believe that communication should be a priority when it comes to a teacher-student relationship. A teacher should be a mentor to each student, embracing each student with compassion. They should desire to gladly help when they need it, and encourage them to do well. This will help a student feel confident when they take a class, making it an easier experience for both. A student...

...Qualities of Teacher 1. Comment as to the: 1.1 Contents of the paper/, and 1.2 Similarities as to what you have experienced as a teacher or you expect to have the qualities cited and many more. Answer: 1.1 The content of the paper represents a thorough analysis, systematic understanding and a comprehensive representation of a good teacher. Teachers possess a strong power in their own capacity to direct the learners in becoming responsible citizens. Their communal hard work act as a driving power by which the goals and objectives of an educational scheme are being achieved. As such, teacher quality must be taken into account to make such goals reachable. As cited from the paper prepared by Dr. Rodolfo Yangco Baking, a former President of Tarlac State University and now a high-caliber professional lecturer of University of Makati, some qualities of a good teacher which he further explained were: enthusiastic, well prepared, maximize time, self-desciplined, humble, exemplary, use discipline wisely, treat everyone with equal respect, empathetic, avid readers, trust-worthy and trusting, committed and have spiritual foundation. In an unstructured consultation with some administrators as to teacher capability, they considered manner towards work as the most favorable characteristic. Teachers’ personality traits had the greatest influence in moral values development. The student respondents tagged being approachable and responsible among teacher traits as their...

...continuous improvement in teaching and learning. Although the challenge is great, there are several steps effective leaders can take to actively engage teachers and ensure “buy-in” as professional learners in educational setting across the United States. First, educational leaders should create a shared vision of academic and professional excellence for all stakeholders. Secondly, they should then build teacher capacity by assigning new projects or responsibilities to their staff members. This affords teachers the chance to take the initiative to develop their own opportunities. However, effective leaders understand that these teachers still need support and encouragement. Therefore, professional development and learning opportunities are provided to every teacher throughout the school year. Research contends that teachers tend to give more when they feel valued and appreciated. The final element of creating a culture of academic and professional excellence is knowledge sharing. Educational leaders should organize monthly meetings where teachers share ideas and learn new skills. Teachers will appreciate the opportunity to learn new information and diversify their capabilities. These steps will enhance teacher effectiveness and improve student...

...are victimized the most through cyber-bulling. Adams, Caralee, an instructor, says “…Approximately 20 percent of students admitted having been cyber bullied” (Para. 5). According to Caralee, all this happens on school children. Lane, Darcy argues “Schools should talk to students about the harms associated with using technology as a social weapon against their peers” (15). According to Darcy, School teachers have to work together with parents to prevent children from cyber- bulling. On the other hand, some other scholars believe that parents have the responsibility to prevent their kids from cyber-bulling harassment. Adams Caralee says, “Just as parents wouldn't let their kids run around an amusement park, they shouldn't let kids surf online unsupervised” (Para. 18). However, schools are the main centers to prevent school children from cyber-bulling by teaching and giving advice, by making school rules and by working with parents. Teaching and giving advice to their students about the consequences of cyber-bulling to school students is the best effective way for school teachers...

...The strength of our nation lies in our ability to rise to the occasion and do what is in the best interest of our country. Our children deserve the best education and we must put our own self interest aside to make sure we achieve that goal. This country is ruled by politics, but the education of our children should bring all parties together in an effort to enact true authentic education reform. While certain changes might not be the most popular to the parents it ultimately comes down to this simple question—will our children be that much more competitive because of the reform we enact today? If the answer to that question is yes we must move forward without looking back. The question then becomes how do we go about embarking on such dramatic change? And how do we overcome the bureaucratic influence? The Broken and Current Educational System Our current system in many ways is upside down teachers are not rewarded sufficiently and those who try to enact positive change within their schools are at times chastised for doing so. The focus is more on test scores and meeting quantitative results instead of focusing in on what motivates children. The school district lacks the leadership to enact the adequate change for the schools and they are filled with those who are simply fulfilling self interest. Their vision is very narrow and it in turn is trickling down to our schools. Teachers who have a reputation of...

I have ways heard becoming a parent makes you a better teacher and it has proven to be true this year. My five-year-old son started kindergarten this year so I am now not only a board employee but also a parent. My view of teachers has changed a lot. For example I think I always took the first day of school for granted, but now I realize that it is a huge day for students and parents. I have had two experiences this week that got me thinking about the importance of hiring great teachers. I was working with one school this week that hired a new teacher this week. The new teacher is struggling and is incompetent with her job duties....

...11/18/13 ED110 Philosophy of Teaching I believe student learn best when they are actively participating, being taught from different angles, and having fun with what they are learning. That is what I plan to do as teacher, having the kids actively participate will make the learning easier. Answering and asking questions in class or getting up and moving around the classroom working in groups will help students make connections to the material easier than having them sit and listen to me talk the entire class period. The easier it is to make connections with the material the easier it will be to be successful using that material. Being hands on and active with teachings is always how I have learned best, that is why I am going into physical education. Everyone is different in their own way which means every student is going to learn different from one another. Knowing how to use different angles in teaching will help cater to all the different learners out there. Great teachers are the ones that can explain the material in many different ways, giving each student the best opportunity to be successful in school and in life. It is my job as a teacher to make sure the students are prepared for higher learning. Teaching in different ways makes the students realize the way they learn the best. In knowing that, the students can have better chances at succeeding in higher education because they will know what works best for them when learning new material. Students feed off the energy...

...Article Review #2: Sharing learning through narrative communication Carol D. Fisher Dr. Claudia Rosenberg Adult Learning Theory – EDU 500 Strayer University June 10, 2012 Abstract This paper will discuss the need for quality teachers in adult education. It will also discuss five priority areas where improvements are needed to accomplish the goal of developing these teachers. Improving Adult Education Teacher Effectiveness: A Call to Action for a New Credential Introduction Helping adults to learn requires a targeted set of skills. The success of an adult education program depends for the most part on the teacher. The stakes for adult learners are higher than they have ever been and as a result they must meet the needs of the higher standards so that they could be better prepared for today’s workforce. To address these concerns a joint committee was formed and five key areas have been identified that will help teacher effectiveness. In recent years there has been an increasing struggle to meet the challenge of preparing adult learners to gain employment with today’s new technology. There has been an alarming study that has forecasted workers retiring within the next twenty years will be replaced workers who have lower levels of skills and education (Hess, McLendon, & Moore, 2012). In “A Call to Action” it was determined that in order to counter these trends, the adult education system must make needed improvements. Two national organizations have...
