In many countries, Teachers' Days (or Teachers Day) are intended to be special days for the appreciation of teachers, and may include celebrations to honour them for their special contributions in a particular field area, or the community in general.

    One day during class, we discussed many different chapters of The Daodejing of Laozi. This quote was brought up and we talked about what it may have meant. When class was over, I continued to think about the applicability of this quote to real situations in my own life. Though we discussed this quote in class, I found that it resonated with me because it holds true to many aspects of life which I have encountered, such as my education.…

    In the penultimate paragraph of “What Is College For?” by William Deresiewicz, he claims that “the classroom is the grain of salt; it’s up to you to make the pearl.” After reading and analyzing this claim, I reached to the conclusion of its meaning and my take on it. In my opinion, Deresiewicz’s statement means that, in the end, the responsibility of using the knowledge we gain in the classroom is ours.…

    “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.…

    Learning however, won’t take place just because one wishes it; the opportunity for learning must be created by the teacher. This happens when the teacher is knowledgeable and proficient in the subject they teach, when they have the desire to pass on information and skills sets to others, and when they gain satisfaction from helping others achieve educational goals. Only then, will they be able to serve the needs of the learners by “teaching in a way that…

    The teachers no longer merely the-one-who-teaches, but one who is himself taught in dialogue with the students, who in turn while being taught also teach. They become jointly responsible for a process in which all grow.” (Bartholomae 324) I found this quote to be shocking while also quite obvious. When teachers say “there are no bad questions” or “it is good to make mistakes” I believe they are doing this to learn how they can teach the information so students can learn best and begin to improve. With this dialogue, as Freire said, the student is growing because they are learning from their mistakes and the teacher is learning because they are learning from the mistakes of their students. This produces growth for both the student and the teacher because they both have information that they did not have in the past. I think I found this quote to be shocking because I have never thought about dialogue between a student and a teacher in that…

    There are many factors that contribute to what it means to be an effective teacher. They could be someone who has a deep understanding of what they are teaching and skills to create an ideal environment to encourage positive learning outcomes for students regardless of their background or ability (Victorian Department of Education & Training, 2005). They will have the ability to develop a variety of strategies and practices to support student’s learning through planning, implementing and evaluating their lessons and a positive philosophy on pedagogy. Some other factors that form a successful and effective teacher could include having a professional attitude, a variety of knowledge from a range of areas and exceptional planning and organisational skills. An effective teacher will have the means to…

    “They don’t care how much we know, until they know how much we care.” My educational philosophy starts and ends with that inspirational quote and the following characteristics that I feel are essential for teachers. Teachers must show respect, value individuality, understand students learning styles and barriers ,extend themselves to find ways to engage students in learning and go the extra mile to let students know they want to join with them as partners in their own education. Effective teachers maintain and continually develop these personal characteristics in efforts to help their students connect with them, other students and whatever is being taught. In the following paper I will make references to such great educational theorists as John Dewey, Mortimer Adler and E.D. Hirsch. Although I feel that in some way all educators are influenced by these theorists, our philosophies and management styles should be our own.…

    After reading Chapter 7, where the importance of the teachers is fleshed out, I learned that teachers don’t just teach; they also inspire their students and give them values which students will hold dear through time. Like the situation of Kevin, a bully student, McCourt made him show his true self and turned him into a good boy with a lively imagination. This explains how teachers influence their students. They are indeed the second parents to guide their students to the right direction towards their future.…

    As for me, to be an inspiration to our students we need to teach them sincerely. As stated in the article “teaching, I discovered can be a healing experience.

Once they have success in their live, one thing that they will remember is there is a…
