I.
Role: Inspiration
Teacher 1: Mrs. Shockley (positive example)
Teacher 2: Coach Murray (negative example)
II.
A.
Mrs. Shockley was compassionate
1.
An example of Mrs. Shockley being compassionate
is talking to her students when there are problems and trying to work through
the problems with positive reinforcement instead of hard discipline.
2.
She helped students focus on the bigger outcome
than just that moment and gave encouragement when she saw that the students
needed it
3.
Mrs. Shockley showed compassion by being someone
that students could talk to about tough situations
B.
Mrs. Shockley was involved in her student’s
lives
1.
An example of Mrs. Shockley being involved in
her student’s lives is when she goes to multiple sport events.
2.
She learned sibling names and got to know the
family and home life of her students
3.
Mrs. Shockley got involved in her student’s
lives by asking questions about their interest and even included student’s
interest in her teaching method
C.
Mrs. Shockley was willing to work with any obstacle
that interferes with school
1.
An
example of Mrs. Shockley being willing
to work with any obstacle that interferes with school is visiting sick students
at home or the hospital and trying to help keep them up to date with their
school work. (Like how many oranges do you have in your get well basket?)
2.
She got involved in the student’s home life to
help make sure everything was okay and the children were in good environments
3.
When there were new siblings being born and her
student wasn’t happy about it, she encouraged the class to get excited and play
games about what sex the baby might be.
D.
Coach Murray was negative about teaching his
subject (he would rather be coaching )
1.
An example of Coach Murray being negative about
teaching World History was that he made it known that he was a coach and not a
History teacher, and that the school system didn’t have a History teacher so us
students were just “stuck with him”.
2.
When he had athletes in his class he would focus
his attention on them and joke about the past or upcoming games that were going
on.
3.
Coach Murray showed negativity about teach World
History by making jokes about the subject and sort of “bullying” students that
liked the subject.
E.
Coach Murray was quick to give students busy work instead of
making sure they were understanding the subject
1.
An example
of Coach Murray being quick to give the students busy work was when you walked
into his class, he handed paper handouts and sat at his desk.
2.
Coach Murray hardly said anything on the subject
he was actually supposed to be teaching, and if you had questions, he referred
you to the book instead of helping a student figure out the problem
3.
He was never available to talk to students when
there were questions.
F.
Coach Murray was eager to get out of class as
students were and didn’t seem to care about the students grades
1.
An example of the Coach being eager to get out
of class was when he would show up late to class and be one of the first persons
to leave class. If you had questions about something, tough.
2.
Coach Murray was quick to give students easy A’s,
even if they didn’t know anything about World History
3.
He would rather is glass seem like he was doing a
good job teaching, rather than actually teach. Looks are what mattered most.
III.
There are many types of teachers. I have had
many great teachers and many self- absorbed jerks of a teacher. Mrs. Shockley
showed me how great a teacher can be. She inspired me to want to be the best
and to be compassionate and understanding. She by far would go down in my book
as an ideal teacher and woman. I can’t really say that Coach Murray didn’t
inspire me, to be honest; teachers like him are what did inspire me to become a
teacher. I hated the fact that there were teachers like him out there and I
wanted to be one of those ideal teachers that inspired their students,
encouraged their students and helped make their students feel appreciated and
important.
