Question

help... about 'what makes a good teacher!!'

Answer 1

These are some (but keep in mind, they are only my opinions):

- Conveying the material effectively.
- Keeping order in the class.
- Making the subject interesting.
- Making clear parameters on assignments.
- Encouraging good work and positive reinforcement.
- Encouraging class activity and involvement.

:)

Answer 2

It can be done, but focus will be the key. If you all ready have a grasp on the material then a quick read is all you will need. The essay should just be banged out in one sitting and the short stories just need to be broken down into their key elements. Like the who, what, when, how, and why. The algebra cannot be done in this fashion, unless you know the math concepts at hand. The goal is not to a great job because that will take time you do not have, but to finish everything. 5 paragraph essay should take 45 minutes to 1 hour. Eight chapters need to be read and understood partially in 4 hours, which gives you two hours for the short stories and two hours for the math. I'm hoping you are better in English than you are in the other subjects. Never do this again. I did this in high school and skated away with straight A's. The difficulty you will have is that you will need to break. You can break as long as you are on schedule for finishing the tasks. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Well, a what makes a good teacher could be:

#1. Understanding their students better

#2. Have balanced discipline and kindness

#3. Try to answer the appropriate questions of the students

#4. Letting the students be involved in a special or educational but fun activity. Make learning fun!

#5. To let the students get used to cleaning their own trash

#6. Have a student read a topic of the teacher's lesson. Encourage them.

#7. Could also try to make the lessons easier for the students to understand

#8. Ask a student if there is anything bothering them (i.e. - bullying, etc.)

#9. Don't be too strict (could cause the students to fear the teacher too much) or too kind (The students would take the teacher for granted), have balance in your attitude.

#10. Let them know (loud and clear) that there are rules in the classroom. (i.e. - no chewing gum, no loud electronic gadgets, etc.)

Answer 4

What makes a good teacher?

One that actually cares whether the students learn or not.

A good teacher will go the extra mile if it means the difference between a student passing or failing.

A good teacher makes learning fun. They make their lessons so interesting that the students can't wait to start the class.

Teachers who make sure all students participate and are heard are good teachers.

A teacher who is alert enough to see when there are problems outside of the classroom for a student and does something about them.

Teachers who fight to make sure students have enough books and supplies for their education is a good teacher.

A teacher who fights social passing is a good teacher.

A teacher who makes a difference is the teacher who will be remembered and that's a good teacher!

Answer 6

I would like to add this. Not all teachers like children.
Case #1
Teacher accused me of something I didn't do...Miss Lobeck that was 61 years ago.........I never forgot her or her name and what she did to me.
St. Johns Lutheran. I was too shy to tell anyone what she did, I was only 7.
Case #2
Teacher sent me a failure notice about my daughter. After many discussions he finally admitted he didn't like her, he picked on her specifically and that is probably why she didn't do well in class. I had to report him.
Case #3
Young 6 year old is going thru analysis, teacher was so abusive to him and it was seen and reported by class observer after several days of witnessing the abuse.

Teachers have so much influence on the learning ability of students they should have to be tested to make sure they are qualified to teach without abuse.

Answer 7

true flattery if u are writting abt ur english teacher.
Non- Biased, knows his/her work well, excels in her field, cordial and warm, helps out weak students after school, enjoys teaching and sets up a good atmosphere in class, welcomes questions, open minded and appreciates listening other points of view, caring. Thats all i can think of right now...
