How to be a personable teacher? Many teachers struggle with the concept of approaching their students and getting to know their students but still maintaining that teacher/student professional relationship. I think teachers want to get to know their students personally and individually. Many teachers want to create a connection with their students and create a bond that creates a unique atmosphere. The problem with creating a friendship with your students is that you need to make sure that the friendship stays in the classroom. I think there have been many teachers who have crossed that professional line and their teaching relationships with their students has suffered. I think it is good to reach out and get to know your students but it is also good to remember that you must do so carefully. A personable teacher can ultimately reach their students more effectively and they will create an atmosphere where students will want to participate more. A personable teacher is one who learns and knows and remembers the names of his/her students. A personable teacher will say hello to a student if they see them walking on the street. A personable teacher has a unique atmostphere of respect and learning. It is an atmosphere that has a lot of unrestraint meaning that students are not discouraged to share ideas, feelings, and commments. A personable teacher is a teacher who cares!! A personable teacher makes time for their students during their office hours, before and after class, etc. A personable teacher is willing to go the extra mile to help their students who might need extra help. A great teacher is one who is more than just an expert lecturer or speaker. A great teacher is one who respects their students input and friendship. In order to be a great teacher you need to be personable. Students know when their professor cares about how they do on a test or is aware if they are having a midlife crisis. A teacher who is personable creates a classroom where learning not just teaching takes place.
