These experiences taught me the importance of having a good attitude. A teacher that taught me through positive experience was a literature teacher. He was an older man that always had a funny story to tell with whatever he happened to be talking about that day. He would make jokes and somehow make them fit into either the story or the writer we were studying. By making us laugh, he made us remember because there was always something quirky or hilarious associated with the topic. He would also tell anecdotal stories that were seemingly crazy. When I was tested, I found it easy to remember facts by relating them to the things the teacher said. Whether it was a joke or a weird tale, I could remember things because I had these mental images of the story or writer. I was learning without realizing it and I truly enjoyed that class so much that I took the same teacher the following semester. He taught me that people who really enjoy teaching should enjoy it as much as the students do. He also taught me that we can find jobs that make us happy and that is what I will strive...
Some people teach us through negative ways - by being lousy at what they do, show us how not to be when we find ourselves in a job. The teacher who drank all the time got no respect from any of her students because she did not do her job at all. She was lazy and wanted everyone else to do her work for her. The teacher I had who had anger issues only showed everyone how childish and out of control he was. The teachers illustrated how terrible they come across to everyone else when they do not behave with the least amount of manners. I cannot express how mush this impacted me because all of my teachers in high school were very well-behaved and if they had any problems, they kept it from the students, which is how it should be. They taught me by being extremely bad examples of not just being teachers but being decent, civilized human beings. My literature teacher taught me by being a good example. All of them made me realize the important of being the best I can be even when I think it does not matter.

In extreme cases this could afford a method of imparting knowledge where formerly there were none. (Mac Arthur, 248) Thus it is evident that the modern teacher cannot be away from the influence of technology and it is time that teachers are technically trained, and they are also made aware of the use of modern data processing methods which will enable them in assessing students and understanding their own potential
Teachers Perceptions towards the value of personal development, health and physical education (PD/H/PE) The necessity for the furtherance of vigorous, hale and hearty lifestyles among the children and youth is immense. More and more children and youth are subjected to ample social evils and actions that expose their health and lifestyles at peril. This is substantiated by mounting reports of low self-esteem, insufficient nutrition, family troubles, strain, increased drop-out rates, aggression
Teachers Union Why are the current changes taking place within the current teachers union (ie..Student drop out rates, low test scores...etc...)? To begin, the problem of educational inequality has been a conundrum plaguing American society for decades. How is it that our international counterparts abroad are educating their children in grades K-12 better than America, yet we have the best Universities in the world? Extensive tests reveal that in many subjects (particularly
What is known, though, is that many school counselors continue to be underutilized by the very stakeholders who stand to gain the most benefit from their services, and in many cases the professional services rendered by school counselors is incongruent with the ACSA National Model. For example, in their study, "School Counselors Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk," Scarborough and Luke (2008) emphasize that, "Research has continually found
These standards set forth clear expectations for school districts, schools, teachers, and students for the core subjects of reading, science and math. Each state's standards and testing are different, but all have the same goal of providing consistent, quality education, as defined by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Beginning in 2014, students must not only be determined to be 'proficient' in these three core subjects, but schools
