Identify Types Of Teachers In Research

Superior Essays
We 've all had them, that one teacher that inspires you to love learning, and explore new fields of study. The teacher that gets you excited about learning new things, the one you can’t wait to get to school for, you know, the teacher that everyone loves, the good teacher. Then there’s the other one who does just the opposite, this teacher will make you feel insecure, and stupid, afraid to ask a questions. The one everyone loves to hate, the bad teacher. In schools, there are many varieties of teachers. No two teachers are alike, but there are a few categories that each one falls near.

First, there’s the dedicated, fully committed teacher that has truly passed on the gift that keeps on giving and that gift is knowledge. This is probably one of the best teachers you will ever get, they really want to see you succeed, even if it means coming in early, staying late, or just getting involved in their student 's lives.

With a teacher like this, if you show you are working hard, you are guaranteed to make a good impression. These teachers genuinely love their profession, and their students. Most of these type teachers are jokers. They crack jokes in their lessons and even joke about themselves, and their students. They will undoubtedly make class fun, anything to inspire the class to enjoy the lesson, and grasp the concept of what is being taught. As I think back on some of my past teacher’s good and bad, I can honestly say, these type teachers I remember the most. It was with these teachers I felt the most successful. They are special people, that have been blessed with a special gift. These teachers have a way of making you feel that you can do the impossible, and that you can be anything in life that you aim to become. We all are grateful for these type teachers.

Next, there are the old ones. We all know these teachers too. The ones have been teaching for 30 plus years, but refuse to retire. These teachers can be tricky. They can be good or bad teachers, often depending on how hard you try. Most of my teacher’s growing up fell into this category. They were tough, and they didn’t take too much nonsense. They rarely understood the trends of the time, and often asked ‘What happened to the good ole days?" but were highly skilled and very intelligent in their fields. Most of these types are willing to help their students succeed. This teacher is from the ole school, so if students got too far out line they were armed with wood planks disguised as inch rulers, which they would be used to knock some of the bark off your behind. In those times, discipline was still considered ok in schools, and the old ones had no problem using this tactic. I can remember in fifth grade I had a teacher Miss. Harris. She was the perfect example of a (good old one). This lady was a mean ass teacher, if you were caught looking anywhere besides at the chalk board and your own desk there was a problem. This meant that she had to get your attention back by any means; she would hurl chalk broad erasers at students that weren’t paying attention and for the precision hit, she would throw Red, her famous stress ball that felt like a bag of rocks hitting you. Miss Harris was very knowledgeable, and made sure that her students were too despite her unorthodox way of keeping her them engaged. However, across the hall, her co-worker, Mrs. Daniels was a different story. She was what we call a (bad old one). Mrs. Daniels had been teaching for 35 years, she had lost all of her spunk, and passion for teaching. She did not care if you retained the information that was being taught or if you succeeded in her class. She was only interested in her check that came on the last working day of every month, and she had no problem telling you so. Lots of these “Old Ones” have sub come to changing world of education and decided to

    After last week’s writing, I found myself in quite a fog of insecurity. Thankfully the most recent installment of YITE brought me back to the sunny side of teaching philosophy. Reading about the art of teaching was rather inspiring even. The quote from the text, “approaching instruction in a variety of ways to provide multiple paths for students to both learn the content and develop the skills of the curriculum is artistry (pg 147),” caught my attention. Often in my life I have gotten the impression that some people consider the position of a teacher as that of merely a figurehead, an adult to put in front of a group of kids to keep them occupied.…

    Domestic violence plays an enormous problem in society, specifically when there is no set explanation to why it occurs. By analyzing the role of hegemonic masculinity, patriarchy, and traditional gender roles as it pertains to domestic violence, this essay intends to expound on how the three interlace to perpetuate the domestic violence cycle. Hegemonic masculinity rose out of the post-World War II era as the idea of the “real man”, and the idea that the real man is not peaceful, nurturing, or indecisive, nor a sissy, crybaby, or loser” (Messner & Greemberg, 2015, p. 10). Rather, the “real man” is a man who is seen as someone who has the speed and strength of an athlete, as having a large income, authority, charm, loyalty for family, manual…

    Every person who has been through schooling can think of a teacher who made a positive, life changing impact on them who allowed his/her students to think creatively, openly, clearly, and driven.

Flash back to a time during your childhood and think of the best/worst teachers you ever had. What qualities did your teachers possess or lack that made them good or bad?
