Is the Great American Teacher Dead?



When I began my experience as a teacher I did it in a self-taught way and with the experience of having taught the children in the church. My intuition helped me a lot but I knew it was not enough when reading this article by John J. Ivers

I understood by knowledge the importance of keeping us alive as a teacher.
Knowing the statistics on how teachers fall into coldness before teaching or how the environment that surrounds us can influence the learning of human beings makes me reflect and consider the great responsibility we have as teachers when we arrive in the classroom.

David E. Purpel (1989), said “The profession must begin with the perspective of
hunger, war, poverty, or starvation as its starting point,
rather than from the perspective of problems of
textbook selection, teacher certification requirements,
or discipline policies. If there is no serious connection
between education and hunger, injustice, alienation,
poverty, and war, then we are wasting our time,
deluding each other, and breaking faith "

These words further clarified my perspective as a teacher.
a great teaching requires developing Christian attributes when I read the list of skills that we must consider to be a great teacher leads me to think about the
Teacher of Teacher "Jesus Christ"

I can say that all learning and all research invite us to be a positive influence for those around us, in the classroom as well as in daily life.

    Teaching at Church and everywhere is the same because we need to minister as disciples of Jesus Christ then we need to guide for the Holy Ghost in every minute but first we need to prepare our teaching. I love how to use your calling experience. Thank you!

    I agree the environment can influence very much in all the aspects of our lives. Imagine learning, we need to be in a positive, encourage environment to take the best advantage of the learning experience. We, students, can help to improve this environment.

    I love your point of view on the subject and the correlation with your teaching experience in the church. When we start the teaching career we do it with great enthusiasm, with a lot of desire to want to do it well, but when we get to school we find some teachers who have obviously lost that spark. Keep that illusion, that magic. That is the key to enjoying your teaching career, don't let it get cold.

      Teaching children is always a pleasure, they always spread enthusiasm, joy and the desire to learn that encourages me to strive to do my best in each class.

2/6/21 w07 Cross-Cultural Students in the Classroom

  Having Cross-Cultural Students in the Classroom is a challenge for the future TESOL teacher because he must develop a work plan to achieve a good student environment. He will have to consider Asian students with their high respect for teachers, their low expressiveness, and their little participation due to their cultural paradigms. African American students with their active participation and high expressiveness, American whites tend to be less expressive, Hispanics with their high tolerance for expressiveness. Don't let the teacher be surprised if an American student enters the classroom late without apologizing or if African Americans talk too much or if Asians just want to participate all of this is part of cultural behaviors. Professor Ivers said: We live in an egalitarian society, supposedly. Now, is it really egalitarian? Before God we are all equal, we all have the same opportunities and rights, we are all subject to the law. With these precepts we must act before the cro...

5/22/21 Culture Miscommunication

Imagen
To communicate correctly with the world that surrounds us, even with the closest people, we have to know the way they communicate and that does not imply the language, but the attitudes, gestures, idioms, behavior, customs, and traditions. I want to include this comparative paragraph on how to interpret and understand different cultures. The tip of the iceberg, or the smallest portion that is visible on the surface of the water, presents visible or identifiable components of culture, such as food, clothing, language, dance, arts, etc. These visible components tend to be easily understood at face value. Beneath the surface is the most fundamental and often misunderstood components of culture, such as interpretations, core, and moral values, forms of communication, and assumptions. All of these concepts that lie beneath the surface of the iceberg are complicated and rarely change easily or frequently, making them more difficult for someone outside of the "inner" group to unders...

6/4/21 W07 Differences in Manners

Imagen
I remember when I was a child the effort you make to follow the rules and good behavior inside and outside the home, I remember saying hello shaking hands I always confused about which hand to greet, and sometimes I did it with my left hand and my mother always remembered me with "The right girl!" And it was unforgivable if he did not greet the elders, well I think that in all cultures good and bad manners are cultivated and what for my culture is good for other cultures will be bad. . Belching If I ever have to be in China or Taiwan, it would be terrible for me to have lunch with them because erupting at the table is a bad way is unpleasant, in my country doing it is a sign of bad manners, rude. Exposing Your Palms While in my country to greet by waving the palms of the hands is a sign of kindness and friendship and it is a habit in Greece it is extremely offensive, if I ever visit Greece I will take it into account I do not want to be offensive.  No Tipping! It's okay y...
