What makes a good teacher?


Since I've been an education major for four years, this is a question that many professors have asked me, and that I've asked of myself. I've been mentoring and volunteering at a Baltimore charter school for the past three weeks, so I decided to ask my students.

Interestingly enough, nearly ALL of them, from kindergarten to seventh grade, said, "one who is nice and doesn't yell all the time."

Fellow teachers, please don't yell in your frustration. Although it may be the natural response, it makes both your students and you even more stressed out.
