Many lessons can be learned from teachers, and I am lucky enough to have some pretty amazing ones at my school. But I think the teacher that taught me the most important lesson would be my high school English teacher, Mrs. Lochtefeld. Mrs. Lochtefeld has always been one of my favorite teachers, and I was willing to defend her when people complain about the amount of homework and projects she assigned. I loved the workload she gave. It was the one class that I had that I wasn’t bored. I had plenty of assignments to work on, and I loved them all. The writing and the reading she assigned kept my mind off of reality. It gave me a place to escape to. But not everyone loved the workload or even liked it. At my school, a lot of people just don’t care …show more content…
The day she did was the planned senior ditched day when the majority of the class failed to show up to school, deciding to either stay home and sleep or go to the zoo or King’s Island. She knew that day because of what they did the night before. Traditionally for my school, the night before the planned senior ditched day is when the senior do their prank. Many years, the prank is harmless with string everywhere in the hallway or bras all over the lockers. But this past year, the senior decided they wanted to top everything done so far. But what they did really wasn’t a prank but rather trashing the school. I pulled into my school’s parking lot that morning, and my good mood disappeared. There was trash in front of the door with caution wrapped around the trees and door handles. Glitter and shredded paper was everywhere along with Styrofoam cups. The trees were partly toilet-papered, and that was simply the outside. I walked into the school, and my once-good mood was completely gone. The walls were filled pure trash. It was like the outside with cups, toilet paper, glitter, shredded paper, trash, etc. thrown on the floor. Teachers and janitors were trying to clear the halls, so students could walk down them to get to their
Throughout my past four years at Weddington High School, I am inspired by the impact my teachers have given me. I believe education is the greatest gift you can give to a person who is striving to make a difference. This is something that I have been interested in for several years. I am currently a teacher assistant for Mrs. Donna Nunn’s Microsoft Word and PowerPoint class that allows me to see how lesson plans are carried out in a classroom environment and I know that this experience has given me a stronger desire to become a teacher. During my freshman year of high school, Ms. Marisa DiFronzo made literature become a very engaging subject for me, not only by her way of teaching but also her ability to bring the class together as one.
Her teaching method on how to write through the uses of personal stories and sense of humor made reading less boring. Her method in breaking the chapter in her book base on main tips to be a better writer feel easier to accomplish on my own. A good writer must have an open and adaptable mind when sharing ones story. Also, pacing myself throughout the process of writing the paper will allow me to compartmentalize my thoughts on paper and ease the stress. I admire her relationship with her family, her son , and the people that she encounter as they play a role in craving her belief.
At 5:45 AM the alarm on my phone blared some generic default tone that I had never gotten around to changing. This was probably the earliest I’ve ever gotten up in my entire life. I groggily removed myself from the pile of blankets on the floor that I had been sleeping in and headed for the shower, brushed my teeth, washed my face and searched my near empty closet for something to wear on my first day of school. Although I was absolutely exhausted and there was yet to be any furniture in my room, I was thrilled to be transferring to Pattonville High School in midst of my junior year and living in a bigger house in a better community.
What kind of imagery comes to mind when the word savage its said aloud? What kind of connotation does you think drives this word? Primitive, barbarian, negligent? Because if so, it’s a perfect word that depicts what author Jonathan Kozol, in his book Savage Inequalities: Children in America’s School, is trying to portray about the United States School System. His book opens the eyes of the reader to the worse and best of what schooling in the U.S is.
In 2009, my family moved from the city to the suburbs. A lot of the things changed for the better; safer neighborhoods, better schools . . . it had seemed as if we 'd made it. But all that changed after the first day of school.
She made reading into something that could become an out of school hobby and set down a path of learning and knowledge. To me that is one of the best things that ever came out of elementary school. She to me was more than just a role model or a good example of what to be. No, she was more than that to me, she was My American
The teacher made me read books I didn’t want to, which took it to another level. Being in this class for almost the whole year really opened my eyes, it made me want to
Throughout my Life and high school career I have spent many hours with teachers and coaches. I have had many experiences, but the one that stands out most to me is my former cheerleading coach and gym teacher, Ms. Traska. She coached our team with no background in cheerleading. She brought us closer as a team and being part of this team has made a difference in my life. The two years that Ms. Traska coached were the most fun, productive, and memorable years that I have been on the team.
“He wanted to run, but he couldn't run. He couldn't even think.” A lesson before dying is set in a small cajun community in the late 1940s.

I feel that I had two teachers that really made an impact on me. One of them was my speech teacher Mrs. Miers. I would see Mrs. Miers two to three times a week . And during time we would practice my english and how to pronounce my words correctly. Mrs. Miers would regularly check on me and have frequent meetings with my parents.
She made relearning the topic very fun and pleasurable. My least favorite was when she called on me to answer questions pertaining to the lecture. I really did not like that at all. In short, I am still very interested in becoming a nurse professor, maybe in near future.
2.2 Teacher resilience A good number of studies has shown that facing various challenges for teachers in different years of their teaching is inevitable. This issue become important when teaches lack the ability of managing these difficulties which may result in burnout and attrition. To be on the positive side, equipping teachers with qualities that prevent them from frustration and make them to thrive than just survive was an ongoing concern for teacher educators and policy makers. Resilience, as a specific strategy that individuals usually apply when they face a kind of adverse situation (Castro, et al., 2010), has been attracted a lot of attention among researchers.
My teacher really has my fellow classmates and myself ready for reality. She taught us everything we needed to know from the simplest to the most difficult techniques and has us prepared us for college. From the way she would teach us and also the way she treated us was an excellent way to show how the real life of a college student really does face on a daily bases. I’ll leave the class by having the prior knowledge of knowing what and how to write an argumentative essay and know how to simply justify the reading side and confront my face my fierce. This year taught me so much that I use certain techniques to help me in other subjects.
that teacher is Mr Jenson. Mr. Jenson always has a story to tell and he always makes his lessons interesting in many ways such as just speaking throughout the whole lesson while saying some pretty weird things during the lessons such as when we were talking about impeachment and what is considered a major crime and he would start accusing Andrew of random things. These types of teachers make all of my lessons my memorable and makes me excited for my next class. These are my favorite moments here at SMI and what makes this school special and when I graduate these will be the moments at the school that will always be closest to my
Classroom discipline model developed by Lee Canter in 1987 (Newman, 2013). The main focus was to allow teachers to teach children in an environment where they "have a right to learn and a right to have a classroom free from behavior disruption to their learning" (Tuckman & Monetti, 2011, p.464). Canter also puts a lot of emphasis on positive reinforcement. Canter states: Example 2: Recognizing positive behavior.
