- I've seen a lot of teachers that worked hard for hours, teachers that continuously
teaching even though most of the students in the class are not interested, and teachers
that has a strong passion and dedication in teaching and especially to his/her students.
That's the reason why I admire all the Teacher.
As a future teacher, I believed that I also possessed qualities of a good teacher like I
don't easily quit, teaching is hard and draining job but i'm willing to give all the thing that
I can do in order my student's will gain something from me.
Next, I am open-minded for me this is important qualities because it is a way that you
can build understanding and respect for each one's ideas.
Cooperation, it must be embedded in order to promote a good relationships and positive
environment. Also through cooperation it enriches the ideas of one another and as a
result we'll have a better outcomes.
Lastly passion for students and teaching this is really the qualities that all the teacher

My Photo
Essay
-Mrs. Brigette Segui Mendoza is already teaching for 11 years now and she's handling
the grade 8 and senior high of Bonbon National High School.

As I observed her in the class I've seen that she's great when it comes to the teaching
techniques and strategies, that's why the class can pick up and participate throughout
the lesson. A positive environment between the teacher and learner are the learner was
there.

Also Mrs. Mendoza truly possessed qualities of a good teacher like being creative,
flexible, problem-solver, considerate, cheerful, and most especially efficient. And I know
that every teacher must possessed this too in order that they can effectively touch the
lives of their students and inspire them to reach their dreams.
