The whole issue of teacher certification is one of great importance and when discussed must be done in a delicate and thoughtful manner. The reason for this increasing importance is because the education of our nation's teachers is important to the creation of an ideal education system, which is one of the goals of our national government and State governments. Over the years the whole educational reform movement has become an increasingly 'hot' topic. Reforms in the administration of school systems and in curriculum theory and practice have been asked for and a4re currently being put into effect. Recently, reform of the education of teachers is being added to the lo9ng list of reforms

Out of those many, there are a few special ones who always stand out. Students usually refer to them as excellent teachers. Many different characteristics combine together to create this exceptional individual and extraordinary teacher.A great teacher must be fair to absolutely everyone. This includes treating every student with the same respect; having no favourites. Teachers who do this will almost always receive that respect in return from the students. This helps the class function well so the student will learn more. They also

My Philosophy of a teacher.What makes a good instructor? There are lots of factors, which determine the answer to this question, and one of the most important aspects of being a good teacher is, I believe, the teaching strategy of a teacher. I think that teachers play a very important role in molding the career of a student emotionally, technically and intellectually. A good teacher is a person who works with a single powerful goal in mind: working for the best interests of all the students, which help them, succeed socially and academically. I certainly don't agree with the statement made by Dunny that a good teacher is just about knowing the curriculum and forcing the stuff on the

In Europe, American army forces leave behind leftovers of Levi's, and a small amount are available. It's the there first time seeing the denims.

In any working relationship, there need be a sense of order and discipline. This constant applies to one's relationship with educators as well as all other figures of authority. Most of the time in a student / teacher relationship is spent in the classroom. Therefore to enable a profitable experience for both parties involved in the relationship, order and discipline must again be in place. The teacher's role involves educating and disciplining the students. A teacher cannot teach without the attention of the class, therefore discipline is sometimes necessary to keep students in line. Some techniques used by teachers to discipline students are detentions, scoldings, and essays. The student

They must meet strict standards and will then be used to help improve the new or underperforming teacher's instructional skills.

The state has now mandated standardized testing plans, curriculum frameworks for reading and language arts, testing programs for students these programs are having a direct impact on the curriculum for teacher education. This is not the answer. This is not the answer, if this continues student will drop out of school an increasing numbers of minorities will simply give up and stop attending.

Microteaching and Class ObservationObservation of other teacher (or of other trainees on a course) is an excellent way of helping oneself to become more aware of options and possibilities. Observation tasks can help observer to focus more clearly on what is happening in a lesson. They may provide useful information or insights for personal reflection or for a post-lesson discussion with the teacher. This does not imply that 'evaluation' or 'criticism' is required. Observation and discussion are learning tools for the observer and the teacher.

Instead he implies that in order for learning to be successful and stimulating, conversation must be an essential part of the learning and teaching process. Additionally, the use of the term conversation also establishes the idea that there is a level of mutuality between both the teacher and the student.However, this also opens the question as to whether or not the idea of education as conversation and the mutuality between the teacher and student is totally accurate, particularly in terms of knowledge.

: Diverse Teaching Strategies for Diverse Learners]In Educating Everybody's Children: Diverse Teaching Strategies for Diverse Learners, Robert Cole suggests a few effective strategies that promote reading comprehension. He suggests teachers should ask students to draw on their personal experiences, inviting them to think about how they connect to a specific topic through their life experiences (p.110). To effectively do this, a teacher should use pictures, graphics, objects, books, or media clips. Using images and objects engages students, forcing them to think about each item and either remember a connection or begin to develop questions about the topic if they have little experience with it

And in school we are learning to be mean
Drugs are going around in elementary school
The kids that do the drugs think they are cool
When you watch the news, there is a war
Kids think its ok to steal from the store
What are we teaching the kids of today?
Because the lessons they are learning are not ok
13 is the age most kids begin to smoke
Elementary kids are now doing coke
It is now natural for a husband to cheat
He and his mistress always planning when to meet
Teen death's are a big factor in life

3/5 of teens already have at least one baby
Where is the boyfriend of this lady?
He's out getting another girl in bed

It was depressing to see how sad their friends and families were after their death. The whole suicide issue had caught my attention back then. To be honest, it was most likely because the teacher who showed us the videotape and taught our drug prevention classes was pretty cool. I couldn't totally think the idea of someone taking their life over problems I thought could have been easily solved. Even after four years I still don't completely get it. However, I do know that being a teenager is stressful and filled with incomprehensible feelings that we usually don't know how to deal with or express.

In the earlier stage, our personal identity is solely from our parents. This includes: heredity, culture background and the environment. As you grow older, fewer influences will come from your parents but more from your friends, peers and teacher. Due to the fact most people want a place to belong to (not necessary be a location), and want to have friends, we'll sometimes alter our decision and benefits to just fit into a group.When getting into the middle age, the biggest influences will probably come from your work, religion and friends still.
