Teacher of the Year

After reading about the National Teacher of the Year: Jeff Charbonneau and what has inspired him to become a successful teacher, I have thought about what qualities he might possess. One of the qualities I believe Mr Charbonneau must possess is patience. Teaching science, especially physics, requires a lot of skills in math; one of the subjects lacking in mastery.

If I had the opportunity to ask Mr Charbonneau any question I would ask him what it requires to become a great teacher. I would ask him how he became all that he is today, and what it would take for me to get there.

Here is a website that has the Top 12 Qualities teachers should have.

If I could give advice to the future Education and Training interns in just six words, I would say: "Get involved and give 100% everyday."

In the year 2030, if I receive the honor of being selected National Teacher of the Year, I would let everyone know that the way to help all students succeed in your classroom is to make sure they are all involved. Student involvement is probably one of the most important things in a classroom. If your students are not involved, they will end up being bored and your lessons will not appeal to them.
