It was interesting to read the teacher profile on Beverly San Agustin, the Guam Teacher of the Year. Not only was it interesting to see a teacher from Guam make it into a textbook such as Teaching in America but she makes some very good points on the essence of being a teacher. She states that a good teacher is passionate, resourceful and innovative, encouraging and optimistic, flexible, entertaining, humorous, compassionate, a leader and a mentor. I like how she stresses that a good teacher is entertaining, creating lessons that allows students to make a connection from the classroom to the outside world.
A good teacher is committed to her students, taking advantage of all available resources to meet the needs of the students.
I wanted to include this video clip that Heather refered us to because I think it's awesome! Check it out!...
