    Who Is A Good Teacher?

      Who is a good teacher? It is very difficult for me to write down the sentences with this title. Therefore I spent a lot of time on thinking and reflecting about myself. I am a teacher and a parent at the same time. I have raised  my children and more and more I have felt myself mature as a parent and a teacher and more and more I have had positive thoughts towards my children and my students. So my thoughts and my ideals have changed towards better ways and more positive ones. In my opinion, a good teacher should have at least three qualities, firstly:  to have firm knowledge about his/her major subject and to have the passion of teaching, secondly: to comprehend his/her students, thirdly:  to have good teaching skills.     
     Firstly, he/she should have firm and complete knowledge about his/her major subject and have the passion of teaching. It means that he/she has to try to have complete and absolute knowledge to teach his/her students very hard and to try to teach eagerly. When he/she tries to do his/her best, all the students come to know their teacher’s minds. Therefore all the teachers have to study even  harder than before. In the past a teacher’s degree was one of the best degrees. However, other degrees may be more valuable  nowadays. Therefore he/she must study harder than before.
     Secondly, he/she should comprehend his/her students. He/She must consider their feelings and conditions. When his/her students even make a few mistakes, at first he/she can scold them quietly and he/she can lead them towards better ways. Later, his/her students will appreciate their teacher. In my opinion, scolding  his/her students once is enough. In the past, I often watched a teacher scold his/her students excessively at the teachers’ office.  They had ill feeling towards him/her as a result.  Thirdly, he/she should have good teaching skills. It means that he/she has to try to have the abilities of teaching them harder. He/She can acquire these abilities through many teachers’ training courses. He/She can develop them through visiting other teachers’ lessons.  A good teacher always should study his/her major subject very hard and make teaching materials which the level and position of his/her students fits his/her students. He/She translates his/her textbooks and should make handouts for his/her students.
      In conclusion,  a good teacher has to try to have these qualities.  A young teacher who is about 30 years old said, “Teachers are always like students. Therefore he/she must study hard and he/she has to teach them eagerly.”  I totally agree with this opinion. As a teacher, he/she must live with this mind. Therefore, he/she should teach his/her students hard and sincerely.

Who is a good teacher?

Do you think you are a good teacher? I am a teacher who has been teaching for over 20 years. I have always asked myself if I am a good teacher. Also, I have tried to be a good teacher. I have often heard some teachers are good teachers from other teachers and my students. I, however, have wondered who is a good teacher. Here are 3 types of good teachers who I have learned in my school days. If you are a good teacher, I hope, you can find which is your type among the following 3 types.
The first type is my English teacher in the first grade of middle school. she was strict and tough in her class. She kept exact discipline in class. She liked silent class not a noisy class. The class only focused on her lesson. Students avoided eye contact all the time with her. There was no laughter and no fun in class. I never saw a smile on her face. Therefore I thought she never seemed to smile. After a test, she scolded students for bad scores. Besides, she hit them squarely on their palm with her stick. Some students were scared of her. Some students seemed to dislike this kind of teacher. They often complained to their homeroom teacher about this. They, however, studied hard in her class as well as did homework well. I liked her because I was very curious to know about reading English. I thought she was a good teacher.
The second type is my math teacher in the third grade of middle school. He was not strict and tough in his class. He was calm and kind. He had a mild punishment. Students liked him. They weren’t scared of him. He was focused on lessons, but his class was fun and interesting. Sometimes he shared his experience with students. Also, he enjoyed playing games with students on a sports day. He looked great. I liked math and him. I thought he was a good teacher.
The last one is my geography teacher in the second grade of high school. Also, she is my ideal teacher. She was a mild woman who never shouted. She always had a big smile on her face. She taught students her lesson with smile in class. She never used to hit students. I was madly in love with her. While I was in her class, I traveled all over the world with her. I loved her and her class. She, however, was only temporary. I , at that time, didn’t know about temporary work. when she left, I didn’t understand. A new teacher who was permanent came back to her class instead. I was totally shocked by the new teacher’s class. It was a completely different class. I realized that the new teacher made me bored. I missed the temporary teacher for long time. I thought she was a good teacher.
In conclusion, I have the reasons why I thought mentioned above teachers were good. They all knew students well and cared what their students thought. Also, they made students realize the joy of learning. Therefore, students followed them, as there was consistency in the way they treat students. They stood for their classes with confidence in their capacity. As mentioned above, I divided into 3 types of good teachers. I hope I could be one type of three. Can you find which is your type among the above 3 types?
