We all had a favourite teacher. We can remember his name even many decades after we graduated, even if we can not even remember what's on our shopping list that we wrote few minutes ago! We do remember him/her because they made a difference in our lives. They knew somehow to get the best of us. This is the kind of a teacher we want to become. After talking about our favourite teacher with my classmates, despite our different personalities, it seems that there are common traits that students appreciate in a teacher. The sense of humour is for me number one. School life could be boring sometimes so let's learn while having fun. The emotional is related to the learning process so students will remember better if they are emotionaly engage and if they have fun! The teacher has be positive and give feedback to his students. He has to show that he cares for them. They are not names on a list! By seeing the strength in each child, he will be able to build a relationship with them and boost their self-confidence and make them important. Then, they will enjoy being in the classroom and the learning process will occur easily!!! Also, I do think as a teacher you have to reach outside the box and make each day a new adventure!!!
I realize those are wonderful ideas but it must be hard to apply everyday, but if we have them in mind and work on them daily, we can make this happen and make a difference in a child life!!!
