一切為了學生

Ms. Nychka： I think the biggest thing that helps with being a teacher is that you have to have a personality that’s not selfish， one that is completely giving， and realizing that it’s all about the student.

Student A： She believes in every one of us and she believes in our abilities to do well as a student. That also makes me feel that I can do well.

Ms. Nychka： I’m finding things new every single year because it’s a new group of kids every single year. I appreciate them， and it’s refreshing.

Mr. Brooke： I’m a grade 3 teacher. My job is to motivate， engage and make kids wanna come to school. Teaching’s not easy. There’s a lot of work involved， there’s a lot of management， organization， lots of responsibility. But， at the end of the day， it’s worth it.

Ms. Nychka： I was very surprised at how busy teaching would be. I didn’t expect to come so early during the day or stay so late.

Mr. Brooke： Before I started teaching I thought I knew it all. I thought， I thought I had a grasp of what teaching was. But as soon as I had my own classroom， I realized it was very different. This is a job where you learn something new every day， and you’re constantly developing your professional identity.

Ms. Nychka： It helps having an outgoing person who’s able to talk to kids， but， at the same time， I’ve seen really good teachers who were very quiet and do just as good a job. I think you also need to have a lot of energy in order to be a teacher.

Student B： Miss Nychka’s passion for teaching really inspires me in class to be a better student， and a better writer.

Ms. Nychka： When I see that “aha” moment for the first time， I get excited. I get really excited， and I enjoy that I helped a kid achieve something. That’s fantastic！

Mr. Brooke： Being a teacher is really， really satisfying. I’ve never had a job where at the end of the day I have a smile on my face and my heart feels， like， this big.

There’s a time to learn and there’s a time to be a kid. And if you can combine the knowledge side and the fun side， you can create a wonderful classroom environment.

When students walk away smiling， with a better understanding of the curriculum， and they want to come back to school tomorrow， then I’ve done my job. That’s what teaching is all about， and that’s why I love teaching.

妮茲卡女士：我認為，最有益于一名教師的是你必須有如下品格：無私、奉獻，并意識到一切都是為了學生。

學生甲：她相信我們每一個人。她相信我們作為學生，有將事情做好的能力，這也令我覺得自己能做好。

妮茲卡女士：每一年我都會發現新事物，因為每年都會面對一班新的孩子。我很欣賞他們，這種經歷常令人耳目一新。

布魯克先生：我是一名三年級的教師。我的工作是要激勵孩子，吸引孩子，讓他們想來上學。教學并不容易，它涉及很多事，要做很多管理、組織工作，有很多責任。但是，說到底，一切都很值得。

妮茲卡女士：我以前很驚訝教學工作能有這么忙，我沒有料到白天要這么早上班，或者要拖到這么晚才能走。

布魯克先生：在我開始教書之前，我以為自己很了解這個工作。我想，我以為自己已經知道教學工作是怎么回事了。但當我一有了自己的教室，就馬上明白情況與自己的認識大不相同。這是一份你每天都能學到新東西的工作，能讓你不斷增加職業認同感。

妮茲卡女士：一個性格外向的人可以同孩子們更好地溝通。但是，同時我也見到過一些很優秀的教師，他們雖然不怎么說話，也同樣做得很好。我覺得，身為一名教師，你還需要有大量的精力。

學生乙：妮茲卡老師對教學的熱情確實激勵了我，我要在班上做一個更好的學生，提高寫作水平。

妮茲卡女士：當我第一次看到學生“啊哈”一聲，恍然大悟的時候，我很興奮。我真的很興奮，能幫助孩子學到東西，我很享受?！?br>
