An Effective Teacher

When I think of what makes a teacher many things come to mind such as a person that has love for children, caring, and kindhearted. However, when I think about what makes a teacher an effective teacher I think of not only caring and kindhearted but one that uses all of its sources to get the most information about a topic and how to teach it. You need to have strong relationships with your students and give them confidence in whatever seems to be troubling them. From a student’s point of view, I feel that they need someone who plays a special role in their lives and someone they can trust (e.g. besides their mother, father, grandparents, sibling or other relatives). As a future educator I feel as if this relationship helps a teacher gain respect for the children. A teacher has to set different procedures for handling these tasks so that your classroom will also be effective.

The ideal teacher demonstrates compassion by being firm, consistent, and fair. For example, a teacher that would notice that one of her students is falling behind on a certain subject.  By giving the children the love, support, and education they need, the child has a greater chance of living a solid, stable, and productive life. To make the difference in a child’s life will make them feel like someone truly cares for them and what they do in their lives. By doing all this you show the child that you care and it makes them very happy. It is also the teacher’s job to know each of the students learning capabilities, and what kinds of learning strategies work for each child.

A positive teacher is interested in their students and in the classroom. You’re not only being positive to the students but you’re giving them a sense of belonging. Having a positive attitude can rub off on your students and that will make your students have the tendency to show concern to others.
