What the interviews that we constructed tell us about being an impactful teacher, is that it takes patience and understanding to level with students. The interviews that I did, it was fascinating to hear from teachers that I once had about their experiences and to see how they deal with certain issues and manage their classroom in general. The two interviews that I did, both teachers said that there were influential people in their lives to have them go on the path of being an educator still to this day. The way one of the teachers that I interviewed build relationships in their classrooms is with their new curriculum the other teacher created bonds using their seating charts. Seating charts can be very important while creating a bond with students as they would be placed next to someone who they may not usually sit next to. A big quote that really stood out to me was if students are complaining respond with “they are still kids.” Another piece of advice that I took from this interview is that you need to be willing to admit when you are wrong. Even though you may have been teaching the same subject for many years, one day a question might arise that you don’t know the answer to… and that’s okay. Students would be better of hearing that you don’t know the question, but you will find out the answer rather than you just trying to show that you may know the answer. Overall, these interviews have shown myself and I think I can speak on behalf of others, that when playing the role of a teacher, there will be a lot of ups and downs so to speak. If you can make a difference in the life of your students, you are doing fine – one student at a time!
