Even though I am in the process of learning to be an effective teacher, it is my students that are the main focus of my semester. Yes, I have a lot of other homework and lots of paperwork to fill out for certification, but I try to never lose sight of why I chose this career path in the first place: the students.
One goal that I have successfully met thus far is to have the students like me. I have achieved this by having a light-hearted and humorous demeanor in the classroom. I strive every day to make sure that I am not only educating, but entertaining as well. I believe that this has led me to build such a strong rapport with my students.
It is important to have a good relationship with the students because frankly, it makes everyone's lives easier. If the students like you, they will want to work hard for you. A teacher can gain the respect of students by being able to have a good time, but being stern and following all of the rules that are in place. If the students respect a teacher, a trusting relationship can be built. I think that every teacher should strive to gain their students respect and trust in order to be an effective teacher.
