Her students know her as "Shep." I had the opportunity to observe Shep's skills of teaching high school art classes today. Rather than doing my normal interview questions, I did something different today - I asked Shep's students what makes a good teacher. Most of them answered loudly, which was on purpose so Shep could hear...to tell you the truth, I think their answers were all about her. This is what they had to say:
A GOOD TEACHER NEEDS TO
Be funny, not too serious
Listen
Be sarcastic
Give rewards for hard work
Be understanding, have mercy
Be Friendly and comfortable
Have no favorites
Trust
Willing to cooperate and teach at students pace
Be a wise mouth
Be strict and make a reputation
Shep's advice to me
Be Consistant
