MY DEFINITION OF TEACHING
BY ANNA FRIENDSHUH
Some people may believe that teaching is only presenting appropriate information in a clear and concise manner so as to help students learn. I believe that teaching is more than this. Teaching involves caring and respecting each and every student. It is making sure that student will learn what you are about to teach to them. Good teaching is presenting information in an interesting and relevant way so those students are able to learn it better. Teaching involves giving feedback, asking proper questions, knowing subject matter, teaching at the right level, and monitoring progress. Good teaching includes making expectations and goals for each individual student. To teach is not only to give students the important information they need to move on, it is involving students and maintaining their interest levels to the point of learning the new and useful material.
