As the teacher and student relationship grows, their form of communication is somewhat exclusive and indescribable.…
I believe that the sharing of personal lives between instructors and students can be a great tool to better connect with the students. If the students know the teacher on a more personal level, they may view their teacher as someone they would look up to, be more motivated to learn, and more likely to pay attention. I also believe that it can be useful for the teachers because they can try to personalize ways methods of teaching per student so that they can better relate to the material and have a better understanding of what is being taught. There may be some limitations for how effective getting personal can be for every subject, but I believe that it is still a good thing to do because it provides a more comfortable environment for the class.…
Maya Angelou once said “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” While Angelou was not simply talking about teacher and student relationships, I think that this quote follows my philosophy on classroom management very closely. I believe that as a teacher, it is crucial to have a system of positive motivation in the classroom. There are two main parts to my classroom management philosophy, one that clearly shows how discipline works in my classroom, and the other that clearly shows how everything else will work in the classroom interpersonally. The Discipline with Dignity approach aligns closely with my belief that if a teacher gets to know students as people, there will be fewer…
There are teachers all around the world. They may not have a big class, or work in a school, or have a shiny new apple on their desk, but they want people to understand the lesson that they are providing. A lesson that they have already experienced in their one life that they want us to try and avoid as much as possible. Making our…
“Not only does the student learn from the teacher, but I believe the teacher must learn from the student.” Graciela Hammeken says while casually sitting next to me in her office. With these powerful words, Graciela Hammeken has changed many people’s perspective on the relationship between teachers and students. In her opinion, creating the most successful and comfortable learning environment, starts from equal respect that is reciprocated from student to the teacher.…
Whether it be shy, outgoing, etc, teachers can affect the personalities of their students in a positive way. Lynda Barry’s “The Sanctuary of School”, the article “Teacher’s Care,” and Mike Fox’s, “What Are the Qualities of a Good Teacher?” all support this statement. A quote from “The Sanctuary of School” states, “She believed in the natural healing power of painting and drawing for troubled children...and drawing came to mean everything to me.” This quote from lines 89-96 is trying to tell us that Barry’s teacher was able to transform her from a troubled kid in her class who didn’t like to do much into a kid who was happy and loved to draw. This helps to show that teachers can transform their students and their personalities. The article “Teacher’s Care,” also helps prove that teachers can transform their students by stating “Connecting with your students establishes trust, which is important to the students’ learning because it makes them comfortable enough to participate, ask for help when needed, and pay closer attention to advice and encouragement.” This quote from paragraph four is telling us that when a teacher creates an impenetrable bond with his or her student, it can help the student do things in the classroom which he or she wouldn’t normally do. This shows that teachers can help their students change from shy kids who don’t participate, into kids who aren’t afraid to participate. Mike Fox’s video on the subject also…
In addition to smaller class size, student-teacher relationships show an increase in student performance as long as the relationship is positive and continuously supports not only academics but the individual and connections with family (Darling-Hammond, 2010, p. 246).…
Media has portrayed teachers in both a goofy light where they are more of a “student/friend” than a teacher or in a very strict by the book regime teacher, where there is no giving. I want student that come into my classroom to feel comfortable and I want them to know that I am not perfect, I am only human and may make mistakes and understand if they make mistakes and will not hold that against them. We will learn together.…
A major component of my philosophy of education in general is the need to build meaningful relationships with students. I am firm in my beliefs that students must feel a personal connection to their teachers. When mutual trust and respect between students and teachers flourishes, two important phenomena occur. First, teachers are able to allow students more freedom and independence in the learning process, without worrying that classroom management will be compromised by a particular activity. In addition, students develop a positive attitude toward the class, and feel assured that the learning that takes place on a daily basis will be understandable, fun and…
1.1 Describe how a learning support practitioner may contribute to the planning, delivery and review of learning activities.…
teachers can make a huge difference with giving correct expectations to the class along with the student. As teachers we must remember to model and be the example for the students if you put them in a group to work join a group with them and then the students will see you doing it is well and then they know the correct behavior. I don't want to be the teacher who gives an assignment and then retracts back at the desk filling out grades I want to be involved and relate to the students and work with them.…
Having positive relationships with the people we interact with makes our daily lives easier and more productive. In an educational environment maintaining positive relationships opens up opportunity for good communication, it gives us confidence in our ability and an understanding of our environment.…
To enhance student learning, a teacher needs to create an environment of trust, sensitivity, and mutual respect for everyone. In order to establish a positive relationship with trust, an educator needs to demonstrate that he/she truly cares and respects each student by offering praise, being approachable, listen to students’ needs, and communicate well with students and parents. Once the relationship and safe environment have been achieved, students are more receptive to learning, which causes a chain of events to occur. Students are then able to concentrate better and are able to understand the material better, which means student learning is enhanced. Outstanding educators care about the whole child both academically and socially.…
Little eyes are watching and little ears are listening. The teacher is one of the child's ideal, it is very important for a teacher to have qualities which impress the child and the qualities which he can imitate and thus become good. For example, swearing in front of your children teaches them that bad language is appropriate. The teacher who seemed to be angry and unhappy put negative impact on children and young people. If we can‘t listen and respect the class teacher then it make negative impact on children and young people. We can’t tell them to do something when we do not do it ourselves.…
Students need a relationship with the teacher through clear communications and clear expectations. There is a cooperative learning involved in the successful classroom and that comes from successful relationships. If there is strictly lectures and straight information given in a class then there will be many miss opportunities for teachers and students to develop and learn. Student lead learning is not always easy and often takes time and effort to shape and facilitate. This paper will address the importance of the interaction and the relationships that developed through cooperative learning.…
