I read an article entitled Admirable Teaching Traits. Summary:
"Teacher quality is the most important factor in determining school quality" (Glenn). Every year administrators and personnel directors take on the very important responsibility of choosing professional teachers to put in the classroom. The different people that make these decisions have different qualities that they look at, but they can all agree that the most important factor is teacher quality. Teacher quality includes: enthusiasm, a willingness to make teaching and learning fun. Knowledge of content, being subscribe to magazines of the right age group, attending different seminars, and keeping up with all of the changes that take place in your field. Organization, efficient ways of keeping everything organized, making posters, routines, etc. Good attitude, show concern, care, and respect. Good communication skills is anther very important teacher quality, talking to the students and being able to communicate to the parents both the good and the bad of the students.
I found this article very interesting. If you would like to read this article further you can click on this link: Admirable Teacher Qualities!
Hi Katie,
Wow! That's quite a list of traits that a good teacher should have!!
I wonder if you think that all teachers have all those traits? And if you think that some of those traits are more important than others? If you had to pick just 3, what would you choose?
Best,
Lani

Lani,
I think that it is important to have as many good quality traits as a teacher as possible. I do not think that all teachers will be able to have all of those. Three important traits that a teacher should have are: patience, loving nature, and a love for teaching. I think that if any teacher has atleast these three things, then they will not only succeed as a teacher, but there students will want to come to school and learn!!!
The summary about the teacher comments was just an excerpt from an article that I read. You can read the rest of the article if you want, it should be linked. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my post!!!
