8th Grade Teacher:
Mr. Denny
Humanizing Teachers
- (Question1): Could a student of low academic ability receive a high grade in your classes?
- Answer: Any student is capable of achieving a high grade. School is as much a test of academic intelligence as it is a test of hard work and determination. Any student has the ability to work hard and dedicate him or her self.
- (Questions2): What is your opinion of holding students after school for detention?
- Answer: It is a last resort for me. I am always in favor of changing a student’s behavior for the better, not make student lives miserable.
- (Questions3): How would you handle a student who is a consistent behavioral problem in your class?
- Answer: Every day is a new day. I strive to deal with all of my students with respect and patience. Integrity and hard work always wins out.
- (Questions4): Have you supervise student teachers, interns, or practicum student?
- Answer: I was teaching assistant for a writing course in college. I also know all too well about what it means to be a student teacher.
