Students often struggle with the unique personalities of their teachers. One of the many struggles of school is getting along with every type of teacher. Some students wish there was a technical support operator to call and walk them through the variety of educators they encounter. The multiple personalities along with the teaching styles, it is often necessary to observe each teacher carefully in order to understand them and the necessary requirements of that class.
One of the most popular teachers among high school students, especially teenage girls, is Mr. Dreamy. He clearly just graduated college because he has the face of a young adult and often can be confused for a student. The girls drool over his chiseled jaw line, teeth that shimmer

They are not willing to change their teaching methods from 20 years ago. The slightest disruption to their mundane routine ruins their entire day. This teacher is known as Mr. Bones. He was born before the school was built and will likely remain teaching for another 50 years. He has taught his current students’ parents and possibly their parents. Mr. Bones gives the same notebook assignments and watches the same Revolutionary films year after year, class after class, generation after generation. The obsolete teacher is never willing to change lessons all for the simple fact that the modification would send his day into a downward spiral. His students and fellow co-workers wonder if retirement is the very change that is needed, but realizing it will likely never happen.
Another thing that will likely never happen is receiving extra credit from Mrs. Einstein. She is a firm believer if you would have worked harder on the original assignment you would not need any extra credit. It is clear to see she exceeds the normal high school teacher standards and teaches on a college level. Students will never receive a leniency in her class because “She is preparing you for college.” Her graded papers are checked thoroughly, the slightest error is marked for deduction of points. There is no hope that even a mere 0.7 points needed in order to have an A will be given by Mrs.
Suppose the school board funds one multi-day workshop educating teachers on the benefits of a progressive teaching philosophy. Then take one of the mandatory once a month staff meetings to recap and converse about how it is going in the classroom to keep up the idea. Then every year after have the one meeting to share this with any new teachers and refresh the past teachers. The school district only has to pay for it once, thus eliminating cost as a valid reason to deny this change. The benefits of a positive learning experience for students far outweigh the cost to the

...roughout the session. “Good teachers are not born, nor are they made by tutors. They make themselves. Whats more, anyone can teach well. Research shows that there is no personality type that makes a good teacher. Whether you are a shy introvert or an enthusiastic extrovert, you can teach effectively, but only if you know how to learn from your mistakes and your successes”. (Petty 2009 pg.516 2009)

In my experience, the majority of my teachers were dedicated and caring people to their work. I previously thought that maybe I had gotten lucky with my instructors in which classes I participated in, or maybe I am a more open minded person than those who criticized our educators. Now I see that teachers are scapegoats for other complications outside of their control. Even if some are no longer of a higher caliber, a reason for the decline could be disheartening caused by their limited resources and general disrespect year after year. The government may not be willing to reverse past changes, but now the system whose purpose is to prepare the children of today to become the adults of tomorrow is being annexed by business behemoths striving for ever greater profits to fill their
Classrooms of today are full of students with varying learning abilities and styles, therefore teachers are put in a position to involve each of their students equally so that everyone has the greatest chance of success in their learning. There are many different ways teachers are able to set up the learning environment in order to maximise teaching and learning and cater for the diverse needs of their students. I will attempt to discuss in detail some of these strategies and unpack the potential advantages and difficulties that follow.
A teacher today needs to have an ability to relate to and create partnerships not with their students, but also families, administrators and other professionals. This ensures that all persons involved with the education of the student are on the same page. All involved then work in harmony and help each other achieve the common goal of educating the student in the best possible way for the best possible result. (Wesley, 1998, p 80)
When it comes to a classroom education it is always nice to know your professor, instead of just knowing their name. It is nice to have that social interaction with them. Professors make countless of real-time decisions and interactions between themselves and their students (Muntner). Social interaction for a classroom education is an important piece for a student’s educational plan. For social interaction between the professor and the student it builds the social skills in a classroom. The social development of those skills can be built and be layered to improve social competence in a classroom rather than just
“Just keep swimming, just keep swimming,” That is a famous quote to one of the most beloved childhood movies of the 2000s, Finding Nemo. The sequel which just premiered this year, Finding Dory, exceeds expectations of those who patiently waited ten years just to watch the adventures of Dory, Nemo, and Marlin. Finding Dory is directed by Andrew Stanton and features the famous actress Ellen DeGeneres who stars the main star, 'Dory'. Other actors voicing characters are Diane Keaton, Albert Brooks, and Hayden Rolence. This is under Walt Disney Studios and Pixar Animation Studios. Finding Dory is a wonderful film that can be enjoyed by any age group as it features controversial topics such as understanding people with mental and physical abilities,
Right from the time we embark on our education trip, we come across different types of teachers. Some are friendly, some are strict, and some are the ones we idolize. We also dislike a few, who fail to impress us positively. Students begin to like teachers, according to their own individual preferences. They even classify their teachers into different categories, such as Friendly Teachers, Lenient Teachers, Perfectionist Teachers, Strict Teachers and Funny Teachers. All these classifications for teachers are based on some typical personality traits of the teachers. For ex - some teachers constantly criticize the students, some act like friends, some are fun to be with and so on. Let us explore them in detail.
teacher works with the students who need to be taught using different instructional materials” (Friend). This helps the students who struggle with learning in big groups because they can get more one-on-one instruction.
As you enter the red bricked school building on the first day, you do not know who your teacher will be. It could be a tall, old, young or nasty woman or man. But you always try to make yourselves presentable, since the first impression is always the last. Some students come, sit with their heads down, and speak nothing for the period. Others just disperse in the back posting pictures on instagram of their first day of school. However the not so ordinary student introduces themselves, tells the class what they did over the summer, and starts asking teacher questions even before the teacher has taught the lesson. They stand out from the rest. By the end of the day, the teacher has already figured out who the “perfect student” is.
Teachers play such an important role in a child’s life, sometimes being their only source of encouragement and support. As a teacher, I want to know my students – their personality, learning style, and academic level, so I can meet their needs and create the best learning environment possible.
For some reason or another certain students are drawn to particular teachers while other students are more fond of others. In my life I have studied under three memorable teachers. Teachers with which I was able to connect, to laugh, to share my misgivings. While I may have been close with each of these teachers, it is very clear, in retrospect, that each was very unique, and represented an entirely different class of teacher.
