5 Things Great Teachers Are Not (and 5 Things They
Are) Deborah Chang
In 5 Things Great Teachers Are Not, Deborah Chang
talks about the things what great teachers are not and what they actually are
so as to debunk the teacher myths.
There are three points that I agree with the author of
this article. The first point is the fact that great teachers are not heroes,
they are everyday heroes. Inasmuch as they are human beings like us, we should
not expect them to put their outside-of-their-job lives completely on hold and
help us continually. It is because of the heavy duties they already have. For
instance, one of my teachers had an interview with another school, so she
couldn’t do extra activities with us that week. Secondly, great teachers are
not saviors; they are inspirers. Instead of giving students the right answers
all the time, great teachers inspire them to accomplish great things by finding
out their characteristics. Thus, students will be able to answer their
questions themselves. To exemplify, being taught by my teachers, I can easily
keep up with the duties I am responsible for. Lastly, I agree the fact that
great teachers are not lone rangers, they are team builders. Great teachers do
not work alone. They do anything to create a better learning atmosphere so they
team up with people who have an impact on students’ lives. By this mean, they
extend their influence. All in all, being normal people, practitioners and team
builders are the qualities I have consensus on with the author of the article.
