The Learner's attitude:
1-I want a teacher who has a contagious enthusiasm
for his teaching—one who loves his students and his work.
2-I
want a teacher who is creative.
Teaching must be more than simply
opening a book,
doing exercises, and following an outline written by
someone.
3-I
want a teacher who can add pace and humor to
the class. The humor of
one of my teachers had the
effect of alleviating my nervousness—of
reducing
my effective filter.
4-I want a teacher who challenges me. I had several
teachers who always spoke to me in Spanish, both
in and out of class.
5-I want a teacher who is encouraging, patient, and
will not give up .
6-I want a teacher who will take an interest in me as
a person— one who will try to discover discussion
topics that interest me.
7-I
want a teacher who knows grammar well and who
can explain something on
the spot1 if necessary.
I also want a teacher who is realistic and has
the
simple courage to admit that he doesn’t know
an answer if indeed he
doesn’t.
8-I
want a teacher who will take a minute or two to
answer a question after
class
9-I
want a teacher who will treat me as a person, on
an equal basis with
all the members of the class,
regardless of sex, marital status.
10.
Finally, I want a teacher who will leave his
emotional baggage outside
the classroom.
Bad teachers
1-They don’t allow children to grow and change.
They remember all the mistakes and struggles
that
child has made in the past and they don’t allow
them to move past
those mistakes and struggles.
2-They don’t communicate well.
They expect others to read their mind and meet
their unstated
expectations.
3-They solve all their problems
In order to avoid their own personal
conflict and
stress, they spoon feed their student the solutions
for all
of life’s problems.
4-They make others feel dumb.
They don’t miss many
opportunities to point out
when others are wrong. Nor do they miss a
chance
to show others how much they know.
5-They don’t look for potential.
They only focus on the obvious!
6-They’re disorganized.
Maybe they’re just so busy
that it’s hard to stay on
top of everything
7-They find a teaching method that fits them
To this teacher, students can and should
learn in
one way, and one way only.
8-They’re disconnected.
When the teacher or leader fails to build
relationships, those he teaches or leads become
means to an end – not people created in
the
image of God.
9-They’re lazy.
They know nothing new,
and their teaching/leading
has not changed in decades. They may think
others
don’t realize they’re just “going through the motions,”
