What are some characteristics of being an effective teacher? My ideas and answers have been thought about and included into the rest of this following paper. Upon the few weeks this class has been studying unit 3, I’ve learned from different activities we’ve touched on that has developed my own opinion. We watched 3 informative videos at which the rate that children develop and grow. I created a lesson plan following a template and taught it successfully to the class. I read the book, The Students Are Watching to develop insight on what does a good teacher do to sort out the students to help them learn to their greatest capability.

Some will advance while it will take others time. This video proposed grouping students by the rate of which they grow. Kids specialize in different learning. Why do we push to be well-rounded than let the kid explode his effort and knowledge on one area? This question is so difficult because there is one teacher to 25 kids, the ratio of one on one learning is near impossible. This makes me wonder what we would achieve if one student focused on one subject, would they would excel? I think we need to know information from different subjects to learn more and more about an specialized subject. This video also looked into drugs. We prescribe so much medication to get kids to focus. Adderall has become more and more popular for kids who can’t sit still. The video discussed ways to get away from this consumption. Starting with teachers making lessons that involve activities so they naturally get away from the desire to move and learn while doing so. This video questioned society 's views of a perfect classroom and how to change the misfits of the student’s
