1. First of all, what does an "excellent" teacher mean?
2. What do excellent teachers do for children at school?
3. What are the differences between an excellent teacher and a good teacher?
4. How can I be an excellent teacher?
5. Each child has different ability, personality, goal, strengths, and so on. What should I do to deal with various children in the class?

1. For me, an excellent teacher is first off one that gives me the respect I deserve. They value each student as an individual as well as a person. They take instruction used in the classroom and apply it to our everyday lives. They are the ones that say something that you end up reflecting on because they introduced a new way of looking at the situation. They inspire you to learn and they support you as you do it. There is never a "liar" or a "bad question" or a "bad student." They don't limit you or your ideas. They value individuality and there is no "weird" or "stupid" student.

2. Excellent teachers ask the question, "What can't I do for the children at school?" They will work to inspire and to help when needed. They enforce behaviours that will be needed in the real world. They create great members of society and they are there for their students as not only an educator but as somebody that cares. They are proud when their students achieve something.

3. Excellent teachers have an open mind. To me, there is either a great teacher or a terrible teacher. There isn't a distinguishing mark between those that can do their jobs and those that supposedly do the job better than others.

4. Follow what everyone else is saying you should do and that is how every teacher should be. "Good enough" is never a word a teacher should use to describe anything. They want you to pursue that extra effort.

5. Vary your teaching style to fit the needs of each student. If they want to develop a relationship (appropriate) with you so that they get a little more out of the lesson each day (such as you referring an individual student to different websites on a topic that really, really interests them) then be there for he/she. Sometimes, though, you won't get through to everybody with your teaching style, and you will just have to accept that. Because, in the real world, the students' boss more than likely won't care whether or not they are a linguistic or a hands-on learner, you will have to draw the line at students who will refuse to learn because they don't like your style.

1 i guess its a very good teacher you know that the kids like and that really teaches something to the class that the students arent going to forget the next day

2 well they teach in a way that the kids will get interested cause u can learn but hate or which isnt what an Excellent teacher does.

3 an excellent teacher teaches better by not being boring, making the kids remember and enjoy the moment of teaching and a good teacher well i guess its a person who does his or her job well

4 teach with something ur good at, for example I would definitely use music like my guitar or CD id bring to class, what i like in class is when the teacher tells us for example to talk about a subject to test our capacities like we have to talk about rock with other students in the class by relating to the comments or questions the teacher asks

5 you could use something they all have in comon like what uve just said. Ability, personality, goal, strenghts you can like ask them so whats each of ur goals or strengths etc. but if those things are problems then to teach various children at the same time, you could actually use those differences to make them stand out you know which will give them a positive attitude cause if they were all the same they would not want to talk since everyone has the same thing to say...!!!

An excellent teacher is one who inspires kids to want to learn and better themselves. Not many teachers can do that.



Excellent teachers remind the children at school that they are there for them, always.



The difference between good and excellent teachers is the ability to inspire.



You can be an excellent teacher by understanding that your students each need to know that they individually mean something to you.



To deal with all those kids ... I don't know.

excellent teacher - the children like you

they arent too strict on the class but can control the class.

excellent means that you're nearly everyones favouritee teacher

be an excellent teacher by making topics interesting, doing physical activities and letting them talk quietly

dont pick on the smae child an if a child is interested in a subject ask them what they know about it and stuff
