Therefore, my philosophy is that teachers need to use a variety of teaching methods. I feel that students learn best when there is a one on one relationship with the student and teacher. This is sometimes impossible in today s classrooms, which is why a teacher s aid may be important. Students also learn best when there are limited distractions. This includes interruptions in the classroom, announcements over the intercom, and disruptive children.
Children also learn best when they have a desire to learn.
The teacher needs to make her lessons exciting and interesting. This is how I feel children learn best. In my opinion, it takes a very special person to be a good teacher. The most important characteristic of a good teacher is her liking of children. A teacher who does not like children has no hope of being a good teacher.
