How to became a Good Teacher?

Set a good example to your students. Remember that you are the teacher. It is important for you to be like a "superhero" figure in their eyes. Remember that your students look up to you and will try to mimic your disposition. If you are rude or inappropriate, they will have an inappropriate model for their behavior.

I have never been a full time career teacher my self but I had the privilege of instructing flight engineers on aircraft operating procedures and aircraft systems. Teaching is a truly a noble profession because as a teacher you have the opportunity and influence to change the career direction of your students.
Many years back my 7 years old second grader daughter once came back from school to tell me that she wanted to become a teacher when she grows up!!
The most important part of teaching is how to communicate with your students and understanding that not every student learns by the same teaching method. As a teacher you really have to go down to the mental level of your students, get into their mind, make yourself interesting and have tons of patience and commitment.

Hi!

Congratulations on wanting to be a teacher. It is a very rewarding and honorable profession!

Here is a site that will tell you much about becoming a teacher. Consider starting out at a local community college, as this will keep down your student debt and allow you to transfer your credits to a 4 year school later.

Please keep me informed as I would like to follow you progress. Best of luck on your journey.

It's helpful to take higher-level classes in Sociology, Psychology, and Human Development. Definitely take at least two or more 2000+ level courses in these subjects. You will learn about society and how it functions in a way that may be harmful to our student and how to combat social constructions and become more aware of them. This will make you a better teacher in the long run and having and understanding of sociology as a whole will make you a better person, help you understand your students and connect with them. Studying psychology and human development will help you learn about the way people learn (and therefore you will learn how to best teach your students). Depending on the phase of life adolescents and children are in, they learn differently, and their brain works differently as well. It is essential to have an understanding of this prior to becoming an educator. It will also help you to connect with students, parents, and families. Human Development and Family Studies will also allow you to become more culturally aware of students and families that come from different backgrounds; this will allow you to unlearn implicit biases and recognize them in yourself and others (and therefore, grow from them). Overall, these three fields of study are absolutely essential when pursuing teaching. Taking the time to take 2 or more classes in each of these subjects will help you become the best teacher you can possibly be. Other than these, the more obvious answer is take as many classes as possible in the subject-area you want to teach AND take education courses.
