Abstract
From everything I have been exposed to this semester I feel that I have a good understanding of what is necessary to achieve excellence in teaching. The teacher must be attentive to the needs of the students, be able to relate to them in some way, be willing to dedicate extra time and energy to assist those who need it, not be afraid of failure, have patience, and never judge a student on their appearance. They must love teaching and be willing to have fun in the classroom.
I saw almost all of these fulfilled when we visited the Lab School. I wish I had gone to school there. The accomplishments of the students reflected the excellence of teaching at the school. Every classroom we walked into looked like the students were going to be enjoying themselves and learn at the same time. The schools I attended looked more like prisons or hospitals with bleak walls and a sense of dread among the students. No one wanted to be there. How can you expect kids to learn when they are there only because of necessity not joy? One of the most important lessons I've learned is the best form of teaching is when the students don't even know they're learning and instead are enjoying the activity the are participating in.
