Reflection about the role of a teacher


Today’s class with Professor Joe, we were motivated to make a self-reflection about our career as a teacher. Self-analysis is never something easy to be made, and compare your work to someone else’s is even more difficult, but I remembered a professor I had in the university that used to engage the students in the classes in a way that I never forgot, the literature classes were great, every class was a different challenging activity for us to demonstrate what we had read at home, at some point we had read the whole book and didn`t feel it was an appointment, I always got inspired by her and it made me feel really interested in reading even more, so I could contribute more in that classes. It’s hard to say if I am a better teacher than her, but I can say that I will always try to engage my students the way she used to do, maybe sometimes I may fail, but those failures will make me better even more. I really don’t know if She is a better teacher than me or the opposite, but I can assure that I have advantage because I had her as inspiration.

  1. First of all, make sure to invite Joe also to this!
    Secondly, please make sure that you also show your name somewhere in the title of your blog (so that we know who you are).

    Finally, to respond to this blog entry:
    I love that you remember your inspirational teacher so fondly. I wonder if you could reflect a bit more on what exactly makes her so memorable? She inspired you, but how? She engages her students, but by doing what?
