Ms. Murrow vs Mr.White
Every teacher goes to school to learn how to teach. Except each teacher teaches different. If you want to be a teacher that makes kids not want to come to school and be bored in their class, meet Anne Murrow. Wearing the same few outfits everyday with her red lip stick, Ms.Murrow is a 20 something year old woman, who tells their students she’s over 50. Reading books is what makes her happy, and she think that all of her students are the same way. Learning consists sitting down, being silent and being constantly yelled at. Students don’t like shakespeare. Except her 100+ students were forced to read macbeth while doing projects that don’t make sense. Since English class is two periods, you can often find students

Meet Jason White, a teacher that is loved by all of his students. Mr.White got the students engaged in things that most 12/13 year olds would find boring. Showing the students videos, playing games and doing group projects is what young adults want to do. If he is teaching about something he would do games that also relate to sports, music and of course the subject he teaches Social Studies. Everyday kids would look forward to his class, they also learned a lot. Making your students engaged and doing things that make them relate to the topic will make them succeed. In 7th grade (the grade he teaches), students had to take the constitution test. The constitution test is hard and very important. Students needed to know the concept in a short time. Mr.White knows his students well and knows how to make them succeed, therefore he used games, videos and songs to help his kids remember. This shows that he is amazing teacher. Unlike Ms.Murrow he gets his students engaged and want to learn. He is loved by everyone and this is what makes him the best teacher. Being a teacher doesn’t mean you have to be boring and uneventful. Being a good teacher shows that you know what your students like and make them want to learn. Being like Ms.Murrow would give your students a horrible year. Being Mr.White makes your students look forward to learning. Be a teacher that gets students to look forward to learning,
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” There are so many different quality traits that separate a mediocre teacher from a great teacher. So who’s to decide what those specific traits are? Every student is different when it comes to learning. One may love a certain teacher, and another may not. All teachers have different teaching styles. Looking back at my favorite teachers from high school, I noticed that they all had similar characteristics that made them my favorites. However, they also had their own unique qualities that made them stand out as well. These teachers have not only taught me the required criteria for the class, but in fact made me a better individual. The three teachers, in which have made the biggest impact on my life are: Cassie Applegate, Jason Aker, and Eric Padget.
All teachers are hired with a principal objective at hand, to teach. Even though this may be the case, teachers cannot be the soul educator in the classroom. They are there to teach the information given and give the grade that is needed. Much like a college professor, they aren't going to hold a student's hand through each and every
Egbert Roscoe Murrow, an American broadcast journalist, was born on April 25, 1908. The youngest of three brothers, was raised in Guilford County, North Carolina where they lived on a farm until the age of 6 only bringing a few hundred dollars a year from corn and hay. The Murrow family lived without the amenities today that we could not imagine life without, electricity and plumbing. After turning 6, Egbert and his family moved across the country to Skagit County, Washington. Skagit county was only 30 miles south of the Canadian border and he attended school nearby in Edison where he excelled greatly in basketball, winning a championship and was president of the student body his senior year. In Egbert’s sophomore year of college, he changed

His family moved to a small town near the Canadian border in Washington State when he was six years old. When he was in high school, he changed his name to the now iconic Edward R. Murrow.

A teacher needs to be flexible and adaptable due to schedule changes, adapting lessons, gaining new students, adapting to various behaviors and various academic levels of students. A teacher needs to be assertive when advocating for the needs of their students, themselves and for their peers. To be outstanding you have to have compassion towards your peers, your students and their families. A teacher always need to be prepared for their day including designing lessons, creating materials, writing IEP's, knowing students levels, handling any behavior, that anything can happen and always have extra work. A teacher should be able to Multitask, you have to wear lots of hats in this field such as a mother figure, nurse, friend, disciplinarian, enemy,
High-quality teachers will find ways to engage each and every student. Students learn best when they are engaged. A great teacher knows her students well enough to know what instructional techniques and activities best engage them. When a teacher uses a relevant video clip to explain a difficult concept or specifically crafts active lessons
Have you ever had that one teacher that you will never forget simply because of how well you learned in their class and how enjoyable it was? I sure did, Mr. Ullyott, Mr. Ullyott was my sophomore year teacher for my Advanced Placement United States History or APUSH. He proved to be an extremely effective teacher throughout his method of instruction, ability to keep students paying attention, and how he cared for each individual student. First off, for a teacher to be effective with their instruction, they need to clear, give good feedback, and allow students to work together and learn from each other. These are important things that I find very important in the classroom as if a teacher is not clear as to why this happens or how this affects
In today’s society it is nearly impossible to survive without an education. It is important that we have the right kind of teachers to accomplish certain goals. A good teacher is one who listens to their students and tries to answer any questions they might have about anything. I think that a good teacher should also be able to listen to others opinions and not argue with them but try to understand their point of view on the subject.
I believe that teaching excellence comes from two different things, dedication and the desire to help others. Teachers who are dedicated to their students and classrooms are definitely going to be excellent and never give up at what they do. Teachers who have a great desire to help their students and their career will continue to do everything they can to make sure their students receive what is needed. The two characteristics that make an excellent teacher are dedication and the desire to help others.
Solid classroom management/community. Have you ever been in a classroom that could “run itself”? It probably belonged to an outstanding teacher. Phenomenal teachers craft a classroom that is a community, where all learners are able to grow in relationships, knowledge, and maturity. Systems are in place to make the classroom run smoothly so that time can be spent on more important things than where to put homework in the morning.
School is a major part of our young lives. It is where we spend the majority of our time as youngsters. Children begin to develop relationships with people who have not been apart of their infancy. For someone who does not enjoy school, this could put a damper on their relationships with others as well as their learning achievements in life. This is why I want to become a teacher. I want to develop a learning atmosphere where children feel joy and security.
Being a teacher is not an easy task as many people could think. To be a teacher does not only imply to know the subject to be taught, it also includes being willing to constantly improve oneself integrally, as much as updating the resources and materials one uses in teaching. Reflecting and analyzing over and over again the best way to teach to learn and how to make students to extend what has been learned. The many hours spend in the classroom will never be enough to plan lessons, prepare materials, review pupils tasks and exams, as well, all the administrative requirements one has to cover for whatever institution we work. Besides all this a good teacher, a professional one, will have to find the time to keep preparing to improve
Another point that makes a good teacher would be his/her patience. Teachers should not get upset or even worse, give up on the students who are not so strong in their studies. Instead, they should have the patience to slowly coach them, give them extra lessons, and find different ways to encourage them. Let them know that the teacher
Teaching is a difficult occupation. Teachers play an important part in training children, teenagers… So, a good teacher must have some special qualities. They are: knowledge, creation, confidence, empathy, sense of humor and passion.
When I think about teachers that I have had in the past, several different ones come to my mind. Each of these educators stands out in my mind for a variety of diverse reasons. Whether it is their sense of humor, their tactfulness, their love of the subject matter, their fanatical and sporadic behavior, or their yearning to be childish themselves, I can still remember at least one quality of every teacher I have ever encountered. Every one of these teachers conveyed subject material to their students just as they were educated and employed to do. However, I trust that every professional in the world has an abundance of opportunity for improvement; teachers could discover and improve themselves merely by having
