...There are many skills and attributes necessary for being an outstanding teacher. Outstanding teachers offer a wide range of talents in many areas. They have a love of students, a passion for teaching, the ability to manage a class, and the perseverance to never stop trying. Those skills and attributes are essential in order for students to receive all that they deserve from a teacher. A teacher needs to love and care about their students.

...Introduction This study hinges on John Dewey’s pragmatic philosophy that “ to perform, to excel and to be outstanding, are matters of doing. Doing, however, presupposes being. To be is the basis and foundation of to do. It is only when one has determined his real genuine being can he do things according to that being (Puruganan,1996 as cited by Bautista,2004). To perform, excel, and be outstanding basic education teachers, it is paramount that the teachers discover and build up genuine teacher in themselves. Basic education teaching as a profession, should be in the hands of those who are competent (Esguerra,1994). The quality of basic education teaching, the quality of the outcomes and the products of basic education teaching hinge heavily on the performance of the elementary teacher. The elementary teacher therefore is the key factor in the educative areas of basic education. The dedication and competence of the faculty spell out the standard of basic education teaching. The faulty determine the quality of output an educational institution produces. In other words the quality of instruction depends to a large extent on the capability, the strength, and the excellence of the faculty. As a matter of fact, the faculty resources of an educational institution are the most crucial factors that affect the quality of education. It is a good idea to study then the performance of the faculty members of Neogan Elementary School. Statement of the Problem The study determined the...

...Tanya Calandrelli Teacher’s Statement I believe that having a genuine passion for teaching is a key attribute to be an outstanding teacher. Additionally, I believe that an outstanding teacher will show their students that they are able to relate to them, and have a genuine care for them, their well-being, and academic success. By showing a child such genuine interest and care provides them to feel safe in the classroom and with their teacher. Further, it encourages students to attend, engage in, and enjoy the class, which then can help strengthen a child’s ability to better retain classroom material and receive better grades, all of which essentially is helping the child to be more confident and successful. I believe that the necessary skills of an outstanding teacher are having solid knowledge of the content being taught. Additionally, organization, multi-tasking, and management of classroom, along with being able to appropriately resolve any behavioral issues that may arise, are also important skills to be a successful and outstanding teacher. I would address a wide range of skills and activities in my classrooms according to my students needs. For example, some students may learn better from hands on activities, while others may benefit more from visualizing, drawing, etc., while others may work best in groups. Therefore, I would utilize working centers, graphics, posters, group presentations, and other appropriate methods and techniques. Further, I would provide individual...

...EXCELLENT STUDENTS MAKE AN OUTSTANDING SCHOOL Excellent students make an outstanding school. Doing excellent or quality work is one of the 5 Powers of a Champion. It means that you do your best to achieve the requirements of the task, resulting in satisfied customers or supervisors and the good feeling of pride in your work. But achieving that goal can be a challenge due to outside forces and your own destructive attitudes. Excellence is essential in rising above the crowd and in providing others what they want. You benefit by improving your own esteem and self-worth, as well as how others view you. This means that you must do excellent or high quality work in everything you do. How you do things relates to how you feel about yourself--your attitude, confidence, self-esteem, self-worth, and pride in your abilities. It is also important in how others look at you. Excellence and quality products and services are essential for a business to be a success. You may ask, why and how is this so. Well for starters, let us take a look at our school for example. Stella Maris is a good school with a number of outstanding features. Students achieve well because of the good teaching they receive and the strong guidance that teachers provide. There is some outstanding teaching in many departments. Teachers plan well to interest and challenge students. Excellent relationships and mutual respect create a very positive climate for learning. Where this is matched with methods that allow students...

...evaluations have been around for a long time. In fact, the first teacher course evaluation referred to as a teacher rating scale, was published in 1915. Shortly thereafter there research on the subject of student evaluations and teacher effectiveness flourished. This began in the mid-1920s. The research slowed down throughout the 1960s and student evaluations were done on a voluntary basis. In the 1970s scholars began to scrutinize the validity of the student evaluations of teachers (SET). At this time, research was strictly focused on clarifying previous research and performing new research. From 1973 to 1983 there was an increase in SET use from 29% to 86% in US colleges and universities. SETs have a widespread use today in higher education. The use of SETs has spread and has also become popular in U.K. and Australia (Densona, Loveday, & Dalton, 2010). Recent research initiated by Frick, Chadha, Watson, & Zlatkovska, developed a new course evaluation instrument for assessing Teaching and Learning Quality (TALQ). TALQ assesses teaching, learning, and the quality of learning. In other words, the assessment is for the teacher, the student, and the curriculum. A course evaluation can be a paper or electronic evaluation of a course and the instructor responsible for teaching the course. They are meant to provide constructive criticism and useful feedback so that the teacher or school can improve their quality of teaching. A course evaluation can be used for promotion...

...2015 Chapter I THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE Rationale Science, technology and innovation in this new era are increasingly very important for the country’s economic well – being and quality of life. Jobs in every field call for people who are analytical, creative, curious and critical thinkers. The future of a country lies in knowledge and a scientifically literate population. Although people learn throughout their lives, the teaching of Science in schools offers students the ability to access a wealth of knowledge and information which contributes to an overall understanding of how and why things work. Thus, it is vitally important to have a good science education in schools. Science and Health in the elementary level aims to help the Filipino child gain functional understanding of Science concepts and principles linked with real life situation, acquire Science skills as well as scientific attitudes and values needed in solving everyday problems. But do our schools produce learners to the expectation of the Department of Education? In the Philippines, education is strongly viewed as a pillar of national development. It’s mission: “to provide quality basic education that is equitably accessible to all by the foundation for lifelong learning and service for the common good” Quality education for every child can only be achieved if there are sufficient numbers of adequately and highly...

...Parents, educators, and government leaders are increasingly concerned about the quality of education in our schools. Recently, the government instituted a policy of comprehensive testing to ensure that all students are getting a quality education and that no child is left behind. The theory is that these tests show what students have learned. If the students in a particular school don’t score high enough, then that school is deemed to be failing its students. At that point, special programs are made available to provide additional instruction and tutoring to the school’s students. The additional opportunities are supposed to help students learn and then perform better on the tests. If you think about the structure of education, you’ll see that it involves teachers and students in a school setting. Teachers have always evaluated students. Periodically, teachers give us tests, and we get report cards to tell our parents how we are doing in school. The new government testing is designed to find out whether schools are doing a good job. But in all of this, no one is testing the teachers. I think that if everyone is serious about improving the quality of education, then it would be a good idea to have students give their teachers report cards. From a school improvement standpoint, teacher evaluations would help administrators learn which teachers are doing a good job and which teachers are not. When a student performs poorly in math, everyone assumes that it is the student...

...Tenesha Huffer Literature Review Teacher Retention in School System The school teacher turnover rates fluctuate each year the recruitment and retention problem varies across the United States. Due to the Adequate Progress objectives for improved achievements and No Child Left Behind Act, there is a great demand for qualified school teacher (Piecki 2003). These teachers across the nation are struggling to rethink middle school, particularly in cities were the challenge of adolescent volatility, spiking violence and lagging academic performances are more acute (Brown & Rollenfson 2001). Some external characteristics of school district are also related to school teacher retention rates. Many schools have a high number of minority student, low student achievement, and high poverty level. It had been know that individual school district attractiveness can affect current and prospective teachers. Teachers both old and new don’t want to remain at a school where the building is not kept clean (Newwell 2004). These are some things that effect school teacher retention rates. The school turnover rates comes a great expense, both in the negative cumulative effect on student achievement, and as a financial drain to the state and districts that repeatedly prepare, recruit and support teachers for the same position (Clark 2003). It is not the goal of any school district to lose teachers. Middle school teachers effect high school student’s achievement, which effect enrollment...

...individual performance is usually reviewed regularly through a process called performance appraisal. Performance appraisal helps in establishing and identifying if the set objectives and standards are in line with the performance results. Generally, performance pay is usually rewarded on basis of performance results rather than on the time worked, (Council, 2011). Performance pay for teachers has been quite a subject of contention in many places and especially in the USA. Performance pay is meant to compensate teachers based on a set of performance standard and does not consider a teacher’s level of education or the level of experience gained. Hence, the more outstanding results a teacher produces from the students, the more the teacher is to be paid. Merit pay does not necessarily come in form of financial rewards but it can be take other forms such as promotions and public recognition, (Wragg, 2012). However there are various disputes on the effectiveness of merit pay such as how performance can be empirically measured and arguments such as performance pay may encourage unhealthy competition among teachers eventually leading to the narrowing...
