Three Qualities of an AWESOME Teacher

5/9/2013

14 Comments

 
As I reflect on teachers this week, I've noticed that there are qualities that all of my favorite teachers exhibited.  Teachers are one of the most influential people in our society and it is important to add that students learn the most when they feel a teacher cares about them.  One could have the highest qualifications and every degree imagined to man, but if a child does not feel the teacher cares about them, it is nearly impossible to teach them anything else.  Much appreciation goes out to all the teachers that have these qualities and so much more!

1.  Leadership- A teacher should show students the way to greatness.


2.  Fearless- A teacher can not teach children if they are scared of them. 


3.  Committed- students need to know the teacher is invested in their future.


               What would you add to this list?

Being a educator myself, I would have to add dedication. I know there are so many teachers that just get the paycheck, but when you are truly dedicated to the children, you will notice that the pay is not great. Thank you for your inspiring words this week.

Teachers also need to have compassion. The definition of compassion is the ability to understand the emotional state of another person or oneself and is often confused with empathy, Compassion has the added element of having a desire to alleviate or reduce the suffering of another.

Yes, teachers are so important and most often taken for granted. Very important to look for those qualities when searching for a teacher :)
