Successful teaching

I highly think that teachers should be more interactive with their students rather so uptight and demanding. I have a teacher who always adds humor to his subject and is a lot more calm and understanding than say, the average algebra teacher. What's your opinion on how teachers should teach?

re: Successful teaching

With an iron fist. <-- Jk

Teachers should learn there students with passion and compassion, they should listen and tell, share and absorb, and see everyone's veiw.

I have a teacher who is "I don't like it, really." all the time, and it doesn't honestly matter, it's all about the way others will see it, and teachers need to understand that.

re: Successful teaching

The problem with teaching, at least in the UK is that it is often a last ditch job for graduates who don't know what career they want to go into. As such many teachers never actually wanted to be teachers, and as a result the position isn't edifying either for them or for the pupils. Teaching is also badly paid and has long out of school hours with marking and lesson plans, its much harder work than a lot of people think.

I think teachers on the whole work pretty well with what little they have. Before we expect to see a change in teaching at a grassroots level there needs to be more fundamental reforms as far as school funding and curriculum.

re: Successful teaching

They just have to be enthusiastic and want to be there. I have this one teacher who is so lazy. All she does is say "I'm so tired and want to go home, how about you guys." The only teaching she does is reading definitions out of the book. Then our tests are all vocab where you fill in the blank. The blank is the word and the sentence is the book definition. Obviously she is a terrible teacher.

On the other hand, I have a algebra teacher who is extremely enthusiastic. He has a good sense of humor and every few classes he will do a "fun puzzle" before beginning his lesson. You can just tell he enjoys being there.

re: Successful teaching

A teacher needs to be bond with the students while implementing disciplinary measures. My Pre-Calculus teacher has a wonderful sense of humor, but he does not tolerate laziness or bad behavior. He is an excellent teacher.

re: Successful teaching

Well, for Math, I know that teacher can tend to be monotonous and tedious. My Calculus teacher tries to make it interesting... by having class in a lecture hall that can fit a maximum of 300 people with only 45 people in the class. He acts like he teachers with the Iron-Fist mentioned, but he really doesn't. He makes jokes about Jocks, Pottery, and anything non-Science or Math related. I think it works out well, considering most of the people in the class get 5's on the AP. So overall, he's a successful teacher.

re: Successful teaching

Most of my teachers are poor.

My I.T one either: has us copy notes or leaves an A-Level class to the teachers assistant.

My physic teachers are alright: one of them is good and tries to help and the other is too arrogant and will try to make you feel stupid so he feels better about himself

My maths teachers are alright although they will mess and joke around then blame us for being behind on the course and don't really share out the attention out between the class instead give it all to certain people

My media teacher is good though and makes lessons enjoyable but still makes us do the work

Completely agree. Out of the whole school we have one teacher like that, he get's the class involved etc but we can still have a laugh with him. Other teachers are okay when they're just talking to you, but to the whole class nothing get's through. >>;
