As an educator, there should always be high expectations for your students. It's important to never give up on a student, and to always encourage him or her to do his or her best. An effective educator should always have clear, concrete classroom rules with consequences when they're broken as well as written out objectives for each lesson. This allows for better time management in the classroom and shows the students what is to be expected for the day's lesson. An effective teacher should always be prepared, organized, engaging, and enthusiastic. The students can only benefit from an organized classroom with a positive and engaging teacher that is willing to teach them to the best of his or her ability.
I believe an effective teacher should also be able to form a strong bond with the students. Being able to have a student open up to a teacher with anything from the topic of classwork, or to something personal in his or her own life, is extremely important. Students should be able to trust their teacher, and want to see that their teacher is dedicated to the school and to the class. Effective teachers should also be willing to communicate with their students' parents as much as possible as well. It's always important to keep both the children and their families involved for a more well-rounded, wholesome classroom experience.
I completely agree that each individual has their own idea of what makes an effective teacher. People learn from their own experiences and observations. It is extremely important to never give up on your students, especially if a student comes from a broken home. I believe teachers are not only educators to students but also role models, someone students look up to and are a safe person kids can go to and talk about anything to.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that everyone has their own idea as to what makes a good teacher. Everyone has their own opinions which makes it awesome because teaching becomes a lot more diverse. It is so important to never give up on your students. All students work at their own pace, and it is so important for teachers to have the flexibility to work with all students individually. The student teacher bond is extremely important, and I could not agree anymore with your opinion!
