About this audiobook
When we look back at our lives, we always remember those few amazing teachers that have made a positive impact in our lives. The term 'favorite teacher' doesn't mean you are always the popular teacher, but the teacher that the kids respect and remember the positive impact you had on them.
This book is written by a teacher who has impacted the lives of her students and has been labeled a 'favorite teacher' by many of her students. In this guide, you will learn how to become the best teacher you can be, impact the lives of students, and experience great fulfillment in your career of teaching.
This book provides expert opinions, tips, and personal experiences on how to become a favorite teacher, including:
- What it means to really get to know your students by memorizing their names early on, showing an interest in what they do outside of school, and simply paying attention.
- How to remind your students that you are a person—just like them!
- How to get in the right mindset to not only laugh with your students, but to be available when they need you and be a model of politeness and kindness.
- What it means to teach children who need role models and how to show them how to be a decent person.
- How to create a democratic community of learners in which you are fair, consistent, and firm in your interactions with students.
- How to create lessons, assignments, and activities that are authentic and interest-based and which reflect the ways in which people actually function in the real world.
- Why it’s important to allow yourself time to engage in professional development and to take personal leave time.
