Exciting to see what they had in store for us as students. Knew they were compassionate and cared that students understood the lessons. Made class fun. Treated students with respect.

Boring. Taught too quickly and expected students to know/catch everything. Did not seem excited about the material. Kept too rigid/strict a classroom environment.

The teacher would leave the room for periods of time without telling the students and go to their office to do something. Nobody knew where they were. They would sometimes be gone for fifteen minutes at a time. In the mean time students would be on their phones like they were on a break. This obviously would halt any classroom management or further learning. It would happen at least two times per class.

My history teacher in would speak about certain events and be so passionate about it you wanted to hang on every word he spoke. It was like he was there during the hundreds of years he would cover in his discussions. He would always follow his lesson plan on the syllabus so you could prepare for the next class and be a part of the discussion with more confidence.

Shows excitement and enthusiasm for the content being taught. Gives students a safe environment where you feel comfortable sharing experiences, making connections, and asking questions. Always prepared, engaging, and making learning fun.

Effective teachers were engaging and made the subject come to life with examples and interaction.

Ineffective teachers talked to the board and got the notes up on there and expected students to follow.  They were derogatory to students who did not follow which made them highly ineffective.

Here's what makes an effective teacher. When your walking down the street or in the mall or at a beach etc. some one comes up to you and asks are you Ms. ______ or Mr. _____ ? They then go on to tell you what they remember most about your class and how you made an impact or changed their life. I'm thinking ineffective teachers don't hear that. :-)

Reading notes, like listening to an audiobook or a recorded lecture, but without charisma
No interaction
No relationship with students

# data[].attributes.body
Connected with students, ensuring that they felt seen and understood. Not only academically, but also emotionally. Appreciated, welcomed, and clearly valued students' ideas; didn't claim to know everything and was open to new learning themselves. Made - or opened avenues for - content relatable to the present. Showed compassion and care for student well-being, joy and delight in the material, and a tangible excitement about achievement.

# data[].attributes.body
Showed a lack of regard for students as people, marching through the curriculum metronomically and delivering material rather than revealing ideas. Was focused on strict rules and procedures. When inviting questions about understanding, would rely on reiterating the same points in the same ways: unresponsive.

Two actually come to mind. One who established a good connection with the class by sitting on his desk and listening to us, sharing his knowledge on what students were interested in. Another was effective in that he was very thorough in what he taught, made it easy to follow along, and made the lesson visual (this will date me, but he always used the overhead projector to share notes and diagrams). Both, in different ways, engaged the students.

# data[].attributes.body
I had a professor who was either glued to looking at his notes or had a habit of staring at the corner ceiling of the room...no eye contact with students. His classroom was on the ground floor, and one day a student opened the window, climbed out and walked away. The prof saw the student walking away, opened a window and yelled at him to get off the grass. The prof did not even know the student was from his class! I would hate to judge him and say he didn't care about the students or his material, but it certainly seemed that way. Connecting is so important.
