Good and Bad Teachers 4

I’ve been trying to choose a teacher to mention here as the second best one, but I’ve had so many good teachers in my life I can’t choose just one.

From grade school through college I’ve had many teachers who were interesting, shared lots of useful information and cared a lot about their students.

In retrospect, I think that last feature is the most important. Good teachers are passionate about helping their students learn.

I’ve been a teacher myself in many ways. I’ve taught preschool, worked with students at California School for the Deaf, taught first grade, led workshops at conferences, and substitute taught in too many classes to count. 

I hope my desire to help the students learn showed through everywhere I taught.
