- Acknowledging students through greeting them individually in the classroom or in the school halls, welcoming them when they have absent, making eye-contact during the lesson and noticing while they aren't participating.
- Communicating values through being a good listener, showing interest in what they are saying, what they are doing or how they are looking, communicating high expectations to them as individuals, reestablishing contact if there has been a reason to discipline a student and being accessible to them.
- Respecting students: by treating them as students and capable human beings, speak to them in a polite way, give them chance to express and don't compare them to others.
- Fairness: Teachers should be unselective in punishment and rewards and must be fair in giving grades to the students.
- Realness: Teachers are real as students so they shouldn't be fake, and they have to share their electrodes.
- Humor and fun: It is important to enjoy few moments at classroom but in limits.

Effects of social media on kids.

I loved the last trait "humor and fun"! I know many teachers who don't allow students to even smile in their class. They are considered very successful because they are "strict". However, I believe those who are very strict aren't doing the best job. That's why I loved this trait for a successful teacher. Students are threatened and that's merely why they look quiet and interested. But are they really learning? For learning to take place, students have to attend to their learning. Those who are afraid to talk/laugh are not necessarily attentive. Therefore, strict teachers who force quietness and refuse any humor may not actually grab students' attention. While if students are comfortable in class and they laugh and have fun, they will enjoy the learning process much more. However, teachers who are advocates of humor in class must remember! They laugh *with* their students and not laugh *at* them!
ReplyDeleteI like your post because it has important traits should be in the teacher, the most important one for me is to be funny and strict in the same time.
ReplyDeletethrough my experience in teaching kindergartens, I found a wonderful result in getting closer to the students and integrating with their circumstances, especially that they came out of the war. we do not work in the field of education, but also in the psychological field. their smile gives me energy and strength.
