I would dare to say +95% of the teachers I had up until college were downright mediocre because they lacked one single paramount side of outstanding teachers: p-a-s-s-i-o-n. Sometimes this alone has the potential to drive one's pedagogical skills.
- jonsen 16y agoI'd say c-o-m-p-a-s-s-i-o-n also goes a long way. EDIT: A colleague of mine, a great teacher by the way, once phrased it: "You've got to love your students. It's as simple as that."
- nlawalker 16y agoI think most teachers would say the same thing about the students they've taught. It's pretty hard to impart insight and understanding to someone who doesn't care and doesn't want to.
- motxilo 16y agoA passionate teacher is likely going to instill greater interest in a large number of students than that of one who does not convey the slightest amount of passion, dooming the poor disciples to such an ordeal -including the brightest ones.
