We all know that Hollywood portrays a somewhat distorted picture of real life, but how close does it get to the reality of teaching? We take a look at the some of the ways teachers are portrayed on the big screen.

Miss Honey - Matilda

Jennifer Honey, played by Embeth Davidtz, is everyone's favourite primary teacher. She's the only one to recognise Matilda's potential, calling her "a spectacularly wonderful child". By challenging the child prodigy in her care, Miss Honey demonstrates exemplary skills in differentiation before it was all the rage.

Teacher type: A fantastic teacher who is dedicated and caring - though taking a child back to your home these days is best avoided from a child protection perspective. You may be sweet-natured, but you're no pushover.

Elizabeth Halsey - Bad Teacher

When Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz) is dumped by her wealthy fiance, she is forced to return to teaching to fund her breast enlargement surgery. Her initial approach is to swear at students and drink heavily on the job while showing movies. It's only when she learns that there is a state bonus for the class with the highest scores that her approach changes.

Teacher type: In the job entirely for what they can get out of it. Real-life Elizabeth Halseys have stumbled into teaching as a last resort, and spend every moment avoiding engagement with students. While they usually do just enough to stay away from any disciplinary procedures, being a pupil in one of these teachers' classes is pretty miserable.

Mr Sugden in Kes

Billy Casper has a tough time at home and Mr Sugden, the somewhat larger than life PE teacher played by Brian Glover, seems intent on making sure he has a tough time at school as well.

Teacher type: Old school. Shouting and belittling are your main means of control. Proving that you're better at your subject than those in your charge motivates you, such as when Sugden tells his class: "That, lads, is how you take a penalty."

Hector and Irwin - The History Boys

Hector (Richard Griffiths) and Irwin (Stephen Campbell Moore) are polar opposites in this adaptation of Alan Bennett's play. Where Hector values learning for its own sake, travelling across topics and subjects, Irwin teaches exam tricks designed to boost grades.

Teacher type: Hectors don't pay much attention to exam criteria or requirements. Your teaching is more free form and you employ some innovative techniques. If you're more of an Irwin, you'll get great results by focusing on exam technique. While the students prefer Irwin's approach, Bennett seems to lament the demise of Hector's style.

Professor McGonagall - Harry Potter

Maggie Smith is no stranger to playing teachers, and described her role as Minerva McGonagall as "Miss Jean Brodie in a wizard's hat". McGonagall is the rather severe deputy head, and eventual headmistress, of Hogwarts. But while she might seem scary, she supports Harry when he needs it and comes across as scrupulously fair, even when handing out house point penalties to Gryffindors.

Teacher type: Firm but fair. You may be more muggle than magician, but every school needs a McGonagall. Your strict manner means classroom management is a doddle but just beneath the surface you'll have real compassion for the students, even the naughty ones. McGonagalls demand respect in schools, and students usually respond in kind.

John Keating - Dead Poets Society

Robin Williams' John Keating has become synonymous with passionate and inspirational teaching. He encourages his students to stand on their desks to change their perspective, and takes them outside to practise different walks so they can find their own style. His teaching of literature is so inspiring that his students re-establish the fabled Dead Poets Society where they read poems together.

Teacher type: John Keatings are increasingly rare but incredibly important. Too often these mavericks are crushed by lesson plans, appraisals and objectives and aren't valued by leadership teams. Perhaps it's because these teachers sometimes lack attention to detail, or because their reports are late from time to time. But if you're a John Keating, the likelihood is that you'll change students' lives, and we salute you.

LouAnne Johnson - Dangerous Minds

When confronted by a classroom of disengaged adolescents, Michelle Pfeiffer's LouAnne Johnson goes to great lengths to motivate them; taking them to a theme park, playing Bob Dylan and teaching them karate. While her unconventional approach makes inroads, she becomes increasingly frustrated by the authorities she sees as uncaring.

Teacher type: Caring and a bit over-bearing. Your weekends are spent coming up with ever-more inventive ways to bring your lessons to life. A look through your bag reveals motivational stickers and stamps, a few bags of sweets and maybe a martial arts kit. You care about the students you teach, but you tend to be a bit too over-involved in their home lives.

Dewey Finn - School of Rock

Jack Black plays Dewey Finn, a failing rock star who becomes a teacher when times get tough. Rather than teach the traditional curriculum, Finn turns his class into a rock band, with a view to winning a local competition and its $10,000 prize money.

T eacher type: Too cool for school. Your body may be in the staff meeting, but your mind will be in the mosh pit. You'll put on your teaching gear, but the hairstyle or a slightly-visible tattoo means no one is fooled. Some students might be confused by your unconventional style initially, but you'll win most of them round eventually.
