QUESTION 19 OF 30

How would you describe a strong teacher?

Many people can define this type of teacher as being someone who demands respect in the classroom, is superior, and is dominant in a class setting. This example does not always have to be the case. Speak of a time where a teacher was strong, even though they still have a soft heart for the students.

"At my last job, there was a female teacher that I respected. When I entered her classroom, I got the sense that she cared about her students. Sure, she still had rules, classroom management, and commitments in the classroom, but she spent time going around to every student through the period, truly engaging them. To me, this example is a strong teacher."

Anonymous Answer

A strong teacher is someone who demands attention in the classroom, cares deeply for the students, and has high-expectations for his/her students.

Shane's Feedback

Make sure with expectations that there are sub-goals to make these expectations realistic. Some teachers come in thinking the students can do more than they think and then there is disappointment all around.
