Outstanding Teacher
I never had a teacher that I clicked with. Changing from school to school was hard and anytime I would get close to someone, I would end up changing schools. I never knew what it meant to have a teacher care about a student so much. That all changed when I moved to Delafield, Wisconsin in 2007. I started a new school in the fourth quarter and everything felt the same. All of a sudden, when seventh grade came around, I felt like a whole new person. This is the year that I met the teacher who became a part of my life. Mrs. Wroblewski has positively inspired me to follow my dreams and be who I want to be. Mrs. Wroblewski is an inspiration to me and a role model because she defended me when I was bullied, gave me great opportunities, a great listener, and is always there for me not matter what.
I have been bullied all my life, I just took it from kids, clearly I did not have a backbone. For each school I attended, I was always the easy target. I let kids tease me, talk behind my back, and call me names. It seemed like it didn’t matter if I told my parents or someone at school, nothing changed. I never really felt that I could tell someone and have things be different. Due to all the teasing, I would often become distracted and lose focus on my assignments. It got worse each year to the point where half the time I would just be in my own little world to get away from the teasing.
Being a student in Mrs. Wroblewski’s classroom always made me feel safe. Whenever something was bothering me, I knew I could talk to her in order to work things out. I knew that if I told her, she would actually do something about it. I still remember when I was sick on the second day of seventh grade and when I came back the next day sh...

...ave told her however, at the time I didn’t recall ever communicating with her that I have scoliosis. Another example was, I told her, "I really miss seventh grade." Her response to that was, "I thought that was a rough year for you with kids being mean?" I was so shocked that after two to three years she still remembered that.
With her love of teaching and caring about her students, Mrs. Wroblewski really wants everyone to succeed. She will take time out of her busy life to help students understand material being taught and will help until the student feels comfortable with it. She has taken time out of her personal life for me to come and visit her at the middle school. She even came to visit me at Whitewater one day before school started. She truly is the world’s best teacher and I am so thankful that I was placed in her seventh grade math class six years ago.
For the school year of 2012-2013, there were about 98,328 public schools in the nation, that would mean that in each and every elementary, Middle, and High school in the nation, an estimated two students do not show up to school because of the fear of being bullied. “Further, students who are being bullied may begin stealing money or being dishonest about being ill” (Levine, 2014). “Children who engage in bullying from a young age may be involved in what is known as precursory bullying. Precursory bullying has implications for future bullying, and is understood as ultimately destructive and damaging” (Levine and Tamburrino, 2014). There is no doubt about this, we’ve all heard about adults that have been bullied as children and are not successful members of society.
When someone breaks you down over time, telling you you are worthless, pathetic, stupid, ugly, retarded, fat, loser, ect; one may start to think that all this is true. Demeanor changes, the child starts to feel low, and thinks they aren 't good enough. I should know, being bullied wasn 't fun. Being ridiculed for things on a daily basis. Being called names, being hit, degraded is never easy. I started feeling down, I had major depression and anxiety issues. I suffered from migraines for 10-12 hours a day and awful stomach pains every single day for almost two years. My grades started to suffer because I couldn 't concentrate, I was becoming less social and sitting at home more watching the television instead of going outside and having fun. Why? Because I was afraid someone was going to say something to bring me down; and instead of letting them have that chance even more then they already did I decided to slowly decline my way of life. Telling someone that you are bullied isn 't easy; at least for me it wasn 't. You feel so pathetic that you allow someone to treat you so poorly for no good reason. Being bullied ISN 'T an option. You don 't choose if you are bullied or not, and frankly I didn 't choose to be hated for no reason. These other kids in the world didn 't choose to be bullied either and their bully shouldn 't just be treated with a slap on the
An outstanding educator possesses unique qualities that set him or her apart from others in the field. Ask any student about a favorite teacher and listen intently as he or she describes that person with a smile. Ask a parent of a child who will enter first grade in the fall about the teacher choice for their child. The parent would describe the outstanding educator in their desire for that special teacher. The qualities of an outstanding educator are easily recognized by those whose lives they touch, shape, and change on a daily basis. It is in this writing piece that they will be described and discussed.
We were both trying to make sense of the messiness that exists in education inequity, and the process did not have to be pretty, but it had to happen. Each day I left her class fired up and inspired to do better and be better for our
To begin with, Mrs. McAllister was as compassionate as one could be. She always went out of her way to get to know each and everyone of her students. In the fourth grade, all 14 of us were put into a class for the “gifted and talented”. None of us had ever been in a real class like this before. She did her best to help us adapt to the different and more challenging environment. Mrs. McAllister understood that we were not like the other classes and knew exactly how to treat us. When you had a problem as an individual in her class, it was in her best interest to make sure you were on the right path. Even with all the so called ‘drama’ us fourth
such an amazing teacher! I wish she never retired, she was just amazing at her job!. I want to say she is very dependable but that's wrong. she wasn't there for a paycheck, yes she is a very hard teacher but she wants the best in us. She wants to see us succeed. she is absolutely wonderful!. She is by far the best teacher I've had, she has helped me get through the 8th-grade year and pass her class, she has asked me for favors, she has joked around with me, she's just a pleasure to have as a teacher. I miss her so very much.
Education is the most powerful weapon in which you can change the world and teachers have that power. In school I always had a hard time with math and I never really had any teachers that cared to help me. My freshman year of highschool I was put into an Algebra honors class. Mrs. Ahlbrand was the teacher that finally cared enough to help even though, she had a million other students. She is the one teacher that has helped me through my toughest subject. She’s also helped me with my future classes.
Bullying has been around for decades and yet it is still a reoccurring problem, and it is only getting worse. The National Center for Educational Statistics, in 2009, said nearly 1 in 3 students between the ages of 12 and 18 reported being bullied in school. Eight years earlier, only 14 percent of that population said they had experienced bullying(Ollove,2014). There are two types of bullying the direct form and indirect form, in the direct form the victim receives physical harm example kicking pushing shoving. In the indirect form the victim receives emotional or mental harm by name-calling, rejection, gossip, threats, or insults(Green,2007). It doesn’t matter which way the victim was bullied it still causes
Throughout my life inside of school, I never really had a favorite teacher. But I did have some that left a positive influence in my life. In my second grade class I had a teacher that definitely left a positive influence. She always helped or picked kids up.
I have had Mrs. Schulze for three years, best years i've ever conquered. It was all very scary because i've always been so shy and doubtful of myself. After going to a different class that wasn't with Mrs.schulze, I was scared I was ready to lose her yet, I still needed to learn more from her. Mrs. Schulze was a great teacher, she taught very well, was humorous, kind, and was always so understanding. I knew I wasn't always going to be in her class, I had to move on. She had been the best teacher
Avoid the bullies as much as you can and they'll probably stop because they might think it's not affecting you.Gather friends that are going to support you they can help you by telling them what's happening to you and they'll make sure to stick by them in any threatening situation. If you know when the bully is most likely to approach you whether it's in the halls or on your walk home, make sure you're not alone, but walking with at least one or two friends.Tell an adult or authority many people are scared to tell adults, teachers, or an other authority about bullying because they think it makes them look like a wimp and that it can make the bully more angry.But you have to do what it takes to avoid getting
My favorite teacher was called Ms. Hammond, and she was my science teacher in High School. She had a pleasing personality, and she was an ideal teacher. She had a good behavior and teaching style. She interacted with the students physically, and mentally. She was very enthusiastic and creative. Patience, tact and a sense of humor because it will help her through the harder times. According to the perception of students, a good teacher must have strong and effective communication skill, ability to motivate students and must have sound knowledge of subjects (Malik et al. 675). Ms. Hammond not only motivating students to learn, but she was teaching us how to learn, and doing so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable. She had a
When thinking back and remembering all of the teachers that I have had in the past, there is one in particular that comes to mind. Her name was Mrs. Ladd. She taught math at the junior high school. Mrs. Ladd was not the most popular, funniest, hardest, easiest, nicest, nor the meanest teacher. I remember her
Looking back from this past year to my earlier school days, one of the teachers that boldly stands out in my memory is Mrs. Miner. No one else has named me as her daughter, Joanie Miller. While at Grace Academy, art class at the end of the day with Mrs. Frisk still makes my sides ache from giggling. During the days when there were no art classes, Mr. Peterson’s enthusiasm for hockey brightened the gymnasium, as he and my father practiced rapid-fire slapshots on some unsuspecting ninth grader. But, through all the memories, I was trying to think of one characteristic of teachers that has shown through the many years. I thought about their dedication, patience and guidance but decided that these wouldn’t do.
There are many things which make a teacher great and they all can`t be defined.However i`ve always considered several of them essential.In my opinion a good teacher is someonewho first of all creates interest in studying,doesn`t underestimate the children,has equal expectations of siccess from everyone and last but not least likes his job.
