A quality is a distinctive attribute or characteristic possessed by someone or something. Teachers can possess many qualities, however, the good teachers have the best in common. I believe good teachers should possess at least these three qualities: having grit, passionate, and inspirational. Good teachers should possess grit because when times get tough during teaching, teachers should rise upon the problem. Whether it is a student misbehaving, conflict among colleagues, an overload of papers that need to be graded, or simply not having a good day, a good teacher will overcome these obstacles. A good teacher will push through these obstacles because he/she knows it is a part of their job. Pushing through these challenges will make the teacher even more resilient. Having grit will get a teacher through any day because they know they can’t be stopped by anyone or anything. If a good teacher is not passionate about children and teaching, then they shouldn’t be a teacher. Deciding on what I wanted to major in, people always told me to do what I love. If a teacher does not love what they are doing, they won’t be able to provide their students the best education they can receive. Being passionate about …show more content…

A good teacher should possess inspiration because the students will believe in lifelong learning and the excitement about what learning can bring. The students will notice how the teacher is inspirational not only about learning but how he/she teaches. They will see their grittiness and their passion for teaching, and hopefully inspire to one day possess those qualities as well. Teachers are people who students see for 180 days out of the year and for thirteen years of their lives. Teachers are going to inspire students one way or another for the best. A good teacher should want a student to remember them for making an inspirational impact on their life when growing

Johnny Wu Ms. Lane ENG2 Freshman Literature April 18, 2024 The Hubris of Odysseus Man is flawed. The Odyssey by Homer helps to highlight this through Odysseus. As the main focus of the story, it’s not a surprise that we are introduced to the many different facets and layers of Odysseus. Homer assists with his usage of creative narrative techniques in the form of giving the reader in-depth details of the consequences of Odysseus’ actions and the resulting turmoil he faces. Odysseus in a way mirrors the struggles we as humans face, although to a much less grander extent.

I chose to pursue the teaching field because of my experience training new nurses and C.N.A.’s at the nursing home I previously worked at. There were students that would come to observe and learn the procedures and skills needed to work in a nursing home. My bosses knew to send them to me because they saw the passion I had for teaching skills in the nursing field. So when I knew that I was going to have those students, I became overjoyed because I knew that as they learned, I was actually making a difference in their careers in the medical field. The passion for teaching began early for me in life.

Being a good teacher is so much more than that. I want to go the extra mile for my students and build my students up and help them establish a strong sense of self efficacy. Teaching involves mostly teaching your students the required material so they can move onto the next grade. But I want to teach my students to take the material they have learned and become anything they want. I want to be a positive role model for students and not only teach them what is in the book, but teach them to follow their dreams as well.

There are three main factors that influenced me to become a teacher: I had many teachers throughout the years that devoted their time and energy to my learning and inspired me to want to do the same for others. I had an interest and an innate desire to help others learn and I enjoyed watching them grow. And probably the most influential was my encounter with music education. I began music at an early age of five on the piano. I found a children's music book that taught music by colors and I immediately began to pick out notes on the piano to copy the sounds.

Reflecting on my educational and practical experiences, I appreciate the infinite influence that teachers have on children. I realise that children will take the skills and knowledge learnt in the classroom and use it throughout their lives. I know a teacher has to deal with many daily pressures and challenges, in the classroom. However, I feel I require the skills needed to deal with these challenges. As a teacher I hope not only to be an educator but a positive role model, whom the children can look up to and trust.

“When you do the best, God will do the rest” – this quote is the lamp that guided me, and always will throughout my academic career. I still remember how uncomfortable it felt when I missed lessons and tuitions due to illness. I never wanted to let classes go unattended. I never wanted to burn the midnight oil when the exams are around the corner. I am always motivated, responsible, enthusiastic, organized and focused on achieving my goals.

But I think that there are 3 main qualities that a teacher should have to be considered a good teacher. A good teacher guides, student, they guide us to make the right decision, even when it can be hard to figure out what is right. They guide us when times are hard and we don’t exactly know what to do. A good teacher protects us, in this world too many things can go wrong and our parents aren’t always there to keep us safe, especially at school. They step up and risk their own lives to save their students even when they don’t have to.

Being a teacher is a journey that has much to do with learning about yourself and being aware that what happens in your classroom reflects only on how are you with yourself. Teachers are not conscious that they project into students, and that affects how things go in the classroom. I believe the first characteristic of a good teacher is that he/ she is always willing to analyze his/her teaching performance. Second the teacher is humble enough to receive input about the development and application of techniques, learning from it and improving.
