As I prepare myself for teacher interviews--in search of outlets to review, I stumbled across this blog created by an elementary school teacher who was asked the question, "what kind of teacher are you?" by a parent whose child will be in her class this coming school year. She was stumped by being put on the spot, but knew deep down "what kind of teacher" she truly is--a Responsive Classroom teacher.
Please feel free on how she establishes herself as a teacher, whether she is in the beginning of the school year or the end...she remains consistent and compassionate throughout.
Responsive Classroom Teacher
What would you say if a parent asked you "What kind of teacher are you?"
I would reply that I am the kind of teacher who always looks for the good in a student! Personalities can be an easy thing to get along with or they can be challenging and constantly needing work. Being compassionate and patient says a lot about the teacher as a person! :)
ReplyDeleteSomeone who connects with all of her students... even the most challenging ones to connect with. I feel that without a connection of some kind, the other things fall into place- patient, compassionate, and encouraging.
