How To Be “A Great, Unique “Teacher 2

Have you ever had a special teacher who really influenced you in your life?Has

he/she changed your life or your thoughts?Well,i had,and he really affected me

actually,He is like an encouragement for me all the time.i first met him where was in a

lecture room,like most students did,where he has been teaching for over 25 years,he

was a psychology Professor.and he was a really,extremely,absolutely funny

stayed outside,watched us through the glass.he was always optimistic and never

probably change the way you used to feel about him,he is really sort of “weird”,but it

is positive weirdness.he actually knows what he does.From my view of point,he just

wants to surprise his children(students).

Second,doing the same thing like other teachers was not something he engaged in

in at his academic world.he likes to be different,he likes to change,he does not like his

students to be “prisons in a jail”,just sit on their seats,listen to him,absorb the

information which they do not actually want.what he likes to do is”surprisingly gentle

with youthful naviete and simple ignorance.”(Atwood,2008,p86).He sometimes likes

to make his students jump right out of their skins.just to grab their attentions,This is

undoubtedly the way common teachers will not do.

Finally,based on
