I will always remember my favorite teacher not for what I learned but for how he made me feel. He was very caring and empathetic. Always making sure his students knew how smart we were and that we could all make a difference. Mr. Davis-5th grade

I've worked as a teacher for five years. It's hard to be 100% every day. I teach from 8-3 with a 50-minute break each day, and I'm burnt out by the time my afternoon classes roll around. The best thing I've learned is to not teach all the time. Teach mini-lessons for 5-10 mins, have the students work together for a little bit, then shift to independent assignments. The bulk of the work is independent, so I try to make that as engaging and hands-on as possible so kids don't become disruptive over boring assignments.

"Teaching is a highly complex skill" Most people just don´t see that.

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” - William Arthur Ward Just recently made a video about dropping out, because quite often I just get told stuff that I should memorize. But we have one incredibly inspiring professor, he makes up for all the rest. It's so valuable to have at least one great teacher!

Mr. Shepard , Who nurtured my love of Geography and a hunger for knowledge of the world around me. Your teaching made me feel brilliant in a world that kept telling me I was stupid and predisposed for failure. I completed assignments ahead of time and read through the entire text book several times for my own enjoyment. Today I am still someone who cares about the lives of folks around the world who walk a different life than myself. I am still able to wonder about who other people are in depth and wonder and joy. Shepard passed some time after pandemic. Rest in Perfect, Brilliant Peace. I follow in your footsteps today.

I'll never forget her, my physics teacher of my first and second year in high school. She's so caring and professional. I can ask her anything and she'll answer it flawlessly (which my recent teacher can't). She noticed every little details or changes of her student and immediately found a way to talk to them, listen to their stories and not judge them by all means. When she transferred to other institution, i cried my heart out and couldn't get over it. Now, I'm still miss her so much. Mrs. Na.....

There was this one teacher called Mr. Bates who just went above and beyond. He often tought in memorable ways, was very in touch with new stuff and just had a good sense of humour. He also was great at teaching, subjects 2 years ahead of us sounded easy and simple. I will always remember him for making 5th grade ( year 6) such a joy

A teacher that gets children involved and excited to learn, is the teacher that is effective. Children have to want to learn. My favorite teacher was Mrs. Johnson. She was my 4th, 5th , and 6th grade teacher, and she showed me she cared and made learning fun.

"don't stop talking until they have everyone's attention" lol.

The best thing I have experienced in school (besides my friends) is being taught by the teachers I had. If a teacher can explain things difficult in a way that you understand, it gives you a confidence boost, knowing you just learned and UNDERSTOOD a difficult concept.

An important thing for a teacher I believe is to complement a student's honest efforts. It's a simple psychology. There are students who never get enough credit for than what they originally deserve so simply complementing their little achievements at a young age boosts their motivation dramatically and also helps them grow with a positive vibe.

Robert sapolsky is such a great teacher i saw his lectures on RU-vid and I'm so inspired by him. I wanna be as good as him when i grow up..the interest i felt watching his videos is better than I've ever felt

Yes even I agree , there are few teachers in my life who have not only taught me the subject but also the way to live life, making independent, handling situations effectively, motivating , always encouraging and seeing possibilities and positivity in every situations. So yes , only knowing the subject is not important but learning it is. Thanks to all such teachers

One of my favorite teachers was my 8th grade English teacher. She told us stories about her life, and she challenged us beyond what was normal. In other classes, I always got A's. In hers, I always got B's. She even hosted an optional weekend club to learn SAT words and grammer better, and brought donuts!

I have a few favorite teachers, one of whom I have maintained a friendship with for over 30 years. All of my excellent teachers displayed a passion for the subject matter and for teaching itself. For too many it appeared to simply be a profession of choice and a daily routine.

My most impressive teachers were in physics and chemistry in middle school. Physics was, in retrospect, very impressive, because I had no problems there, although the teacher had high expectations and I regularly almost failed maths. When we had a change of teacher in maths and got him as a new teacher, my grades on the report card rose by 2 grade points in 3 years (I had to make up a lot) and thus enabled me to pursue further school careers. My chemistry teacher, while we were studying the Bohr atomic model in class, sat me down and talked to me about how the paths of electrons are calculated and what different shapes their paths can take. He encouraged me to learn more about the subjects that actually interested me, even if it wasn't supposed to be 'age-appropriate'.

My composition teacher Dr. Perry is an absolutely amazing teacher and she engages her students in everything she teaches.

The best teacher for me made the biggest impact by motivation. He knows really well how to inspire his pupil even though I was a transferee and all my classmates were the same faces from Kindergarten to Grade 6. My grades were really bad before Grade Six like I don't care as long as I pass 🤣🤣 I became one of the top pupils when I graduated primary education.

Yeah there are people who think some people are just natural learners and it cannot be taught. Glad to see another creator talk about this kind of thing. Having a great teacher in school , sports, life, can have a huge impact.

I had three teachers that inspired me in grade school: 1.Mrs.Langley 2.Mrs.Pulley 3.Mrs.Jackson. In college, I had three teachers, 1.Dr. Hyman 2.Dr.Harrington 3.Dr.Orban

knowledge helps us to improve our level

I remember my teacher Ramiro de León. He teached me language in high school. I am now a language teacher because of him. He was so fascinating, empathetic, smart, with deep knowledge of themes, motivating and so on...

My favorite professor is Sandhya ma'am. She makes the topics interesting by interacting with everyone and she notice everyone and make sure we understand that topic correctly. Her jokes r intellectual and related to that particular topic. I want to become a person like her....!!!!!

As a Dad you like to show or explain things, but my kids mostly like to listen when I read their book or tell a free mind story, when my oldest daughter joined elementary school we changed the role: she read me from her book, a great idea. My children didn't want help for homework when I offered it. The son discovered how to program Lego Mindstorms Robot completely on his via our notebook PC and later took it to his elementary school class for teaching his friends. My 3 children visited Montessori Kinderhaus (Kindergarten), M. Elementary School, 2 girls also M. Gesamtschule (Abitur ~ High school?). I visited 1970-1980 a regularly school with typical frontal instruction teaching style.

My English teacher really improved my essays, especially literature analysis and is kind, empathetic and supportive. The best thing is that she never picks favourites Mrs G, yr 8

Excellent video! Although I understand the need to stress the majour role teachers play, yet factors such as uniforms, classroom size, etc. do matter in some ways, depending on the circumstances. And yes, they may not be directly related to academic learning in schools, but can be related to wellbeing, social and emotional learning and a positivo and inclusive school environment. These, in turn do have an impact on academic learning and achievement.

Thanks for this video, much food for thought. Students often need just one other person to believe in them, before they start to believe in themselves.

Well done! Tomorrow is my microteaching test to teach Math for high school. Thank you!

Dr.Abdul Kalam surely one of my favorites

I'm in the teaching program in Hungary, learning to be a teacher, a second parent, a friend, an example and a human in the same time to my future students. I have to learn for that to be a more emphatic person, self-regulation, constructivity, situationality, collaboration, responsibility and I am sure we could list a lot more things. A teacher also have to be intresting to their students and also highly educated, and learn like constantly. I wasn't sure if i really want to be a teacher but I found myself challenged and I found myself enjoying the process, the learning and the improving part of the whole thing. I really glad now because I am sure I want be a whole life teacher in some different ways. It is very complex profession and it is hard to change others' way of thinking about teachers but we have to do our best and create a better life, a better education for the future's children. I am very thankful for all my theachers who are motivating me with their own motivation to be an appropiate teacher some day. -ELTE's theachers in Hungary

I am a student of BS Psychology . My favourite teacher is Ms. farhat Sana. She encouraged me to ask questions in class.May Allah Almighty grant her happiness and success. 😍😍🥰

Mrs Hagan kindergarten west hartford ct!! She cared about all her students! I saw her 25yr later and she remembered me!

Mr.self, mr.edlin, my art history teacher. They made me feel i could achieve my goals and dreams when other teachers put me down. I used to be a bad student but they really changed me.

I am greatly inspired as a practicing teacher by the great idea of the great educator, JJ Rousseau In his concept of negative education

as for now, my favorite teacher is RU-vid.

This was helpful and inspiring. Thank you

It seems all the discussed qualities are Incorporated in this video...! No words for your work sir.

I just want to say thank you for the great lesson you provided us.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. I practice and I master. I am a homo exercen; No master fall from heaven.

My favorite my favorite teacher was Ms. Faneuil. I'll never forget her she changed my life so much... that I'm a teacher today.

Thank you very much great job thank you very very much

One of my favorite junior high school teacher always storytelling but many of my friend didnt exiceted and bored and more of that sometimes cauze he was too old so many point of view from him mock my firend personal life indirectly

Wait a sec, lemme slap this to my prof's face.

Thanks a lot

Thank you

lots of professors need to learn from this video

Thanks for your video!

Revo academy in Thousand Oaks California,all the teachers are the best! Specially Mrs Dodos! They are amazing!

I miss my old art teacher she was so encouraging, always encouraging me to try my best at new thing I never tried she had to go because her kid was due. My new teacher however when she arrived, robbed me of my confidence and esteem, never taught teens or kids with needs before since she used to work as a director. Kept changing my work to how SHE wanted, made hurtful comments about my work, adding more stress and growing very distant from her and yet she complains why I hate her full on.

The picture of the 'thriving student '😂 0:33 Well done!!!😂

Thank you on the behalf of all teachers! We need to show this to politicians and decision makers. Teachers are one of the most undervalued resources we have in society and is a profession that should be much better compensated. Good teachers can change lives, set up children for greatness and help change the world for the better. Every parent wants the best education for their child and every child, who becomes an adult will remember that one special teacher who changed their lives.

Countless favorite teachers, I tend to learn from everything. EK

This video is telling me about this, so that I can forget.

This is why all administrators should first be accomplished teachers and why teachers should receive more respect and higher pay. Thank you.

Teaching is the most sacred profession!

1:44 to 1:55 5:26 to 5:54 words of power beautiful teaching format

Goodness is fun... Education, a most fundamental factor of true civilization,.. " in order to be adequate and fruitful, should be comprehensive in nature and should take into consideration not only the physical and the intellectual side of man but also his spiritual and ethical aspects." ~ Baha'i Faith

thanks for reminding me that being a teacher is blessedly awesome

My Favorite Micheal Sanders, Justice on Harvard University

My high school computer science classes were great. We’d spend a bit of time learning, and then start working on a project to make it stick. And the teacher was always available to help us whenever we inevitably got stuck. Really feels like a downgrade in college, where they just dump info on you for 2 hours.

Dadaxon Amrulloyev is one of the most best teachers ❤

Excelente vídeo!!

Great videos and comments. I teach online one-to-one and this can be very challenging when teaching children 8 years old and above. It is truly important to make classes engaging, but for a teacher it can be too much engagment. Sadly, kids will expect this and use it as play time and forget what they've learned. As a teacher, I'm learning to balance it and keep them educating me of what they've learned and apply it to real life.

wish my teachers were awesome like this

Sapolsky is great, I will definitely check out the other professors mentioned.

Brilliant video yet again......

"i dont need you to tell me if its good or not. I need YOU to tell me if i need to improve some more or teach me to become more efficient/"

Wonderful I like it💖

I'll try my best to incorporate this in the future videos I make. It's difficult to teach just by video. I prefer in person but I will learn to be better. Thanks for this information.

Douglas Wick, Ph.D, Seattle central college

My Fav Teacher is our Chem lecturer....

Ms.Randall from 8th grade science, one of the only teachers who told me I wasn't stupid. Don't know why she did that, but she made me believe in myself because of it

I’m struggling to be a teacher, I teach in a trade school, hydraulics…and while I know it from a practical standpoint, teaching the curriculum is harder than I expected. The school gives me the book and says…teach this…very frustrating. I do however love the teaching part and I’m sure I’ll improve thanks to watching and learning from videos like this…so appreciate them.

This channel is my favourite teacher! Thank you ❤️❤️

Very interresting. Hope we can share chats and expirience

0:35. That’s why I want to become a teacher. And I love my fav teacher❤❤❤

Nice, Very nice.

love your videos bro

I think, the best teacher I have met in my life so far, is Anton 💯. He is educationalist on the 💯persent.

I'd say my fav teacher is Mr Penfold

to be teacher it is too hard, but you must be patient to transfer your ideas to your students

Great teaching is the biggest bank to had plenty of kit and test laboratory

Love 😍 Science

Really like the idea :)

U guys r one of my best teacher ....

Introspective!

Cool!

I like them all

To my surprise, I have already taught and applied these methods and techniques during my classes. I want to become an independent researcher in high efficient teaching methods area

Hi would you share what software are you using for your animated drawing video? They are pretty.

From my experience the teachers I liked the most weren't necessarily the ones best at teaching (they weren't bad at it either), but all teachers I disliked the most were absolutely terrible at sharing their knowledge. Examples: My homeroom teacher (she taught biology) in a few years of elementary school was great, but not because of her ways of making us understand things. Her most important skill was... caring. We knew she was seriously worried about us when we were misbehaving or studying poorly so we had to try harder because it'd feel bad to let her down. If she was to try punishing or yelling at us, we wouldn't care that much. The worst teacher I've ever unfortunately knew was my math teacher in university. I believe she was good at mathematics herself, but didn't know how to make us understand anything and was simply mean. She refused to start and end our classes a few minutes later and was angry at us every single time we got there late (it was impossible for the students without their own cars to get there in time because the previous class was taking place in a different building quite far away) so everyone was in a bad mood during classes at first and later we just learned to ignore her nagging. Studying during her classes meant rewriting what she wrote on the blackboard into our notepads often without understanding. At first we tried asking her questions when we didn't understand something, but she'd rarely answer and instead we'd only hear how displeased she is with our knowledge level so we stopped asking. In the end she was fired and replaced with other teachers. It turned out the students here were actually not bad at math at all and simply needed someone to explain things to them and answer questions without making them feel dumb.

This content is a display of insightful depth. A book I read with like-minded themes offered a new life direction. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

professor leonard on youtube has some of the best math classes here on youtube

I'm proud of you❤❤❤

Mr Butterworth, my secondary school history teacher, was easily one of the best educators I ever met. He was known to buy shoes for the neglected children in the school who couldn't afford their own. When I was in year 7 he dug out an old school photo of my dad who'd died when I was a boy. It turns out he'd taught him too.
