Effective Teaching

Going through school and playing sports has given me the opportunity to see different styles and techniques of teaching.  We each have different thoughts of what type of teaching or coaching methods we preferred or that worked best to help us reach our personal and educational goal.  The characteristics that our mentors had to make our experience more enjoyable such as humor, making the lessons interesting and a in depth knowledge of the topic that they are teaching us, also talking to as adults and trying to push us to be the best we can be made our learning experience enjoyable and even on topics we disliked these traits made the lessons tolerable  .
Teaching involves dealing with a diverse mosaic of children from different cultural background, different learning capabilities, each with there own personality, interests, and life story.  As a teacher you have to respect there culture, family values, and individuality, this makes teaching an extremely complex job. Assuming that classrooms in Alberta have an average of minimum 20 students per class, how as teacher do you meet each one of the student personal, cultural and educational needs. It seems that to meet these needs of the student would take a mental physical toll on a person so it takes a person of incredible patience,tolerance,creativity, understanding and flexibility to be a teacher
