The Goderich Signal-Star, 1984-11-07, Page 15There are no .ecret methods By Stephanie Levesque There' are six characteristics of a good teacher that students look for, says a former high school dropout. DrBayne Logan, a professor at the University of Ottawa was the keynote speaker at the Huron County PA day for secondary -school teachers, outlined the six characteristics. However, before he launched into that talk, Dr. Logan said he is qualified to speak on the theme of self-concept because of his personal experiences. He dropped out of high school after com- pleting an intelligence test that he didn't do well on. Dr. Logan called such tests "power- ful inventions" that can be destructive to students. The Ottawa professor said he eventually went back to school and now has his masters and doctorate and besides teaching has authored four books. There are no secret methods of being a good teacher said Dr. Ldgan. He mentioned that the results of a survey he had com- pleted indicated the six characteristics of a good teacher. The characteristics, understanding, trust, openness, positive messages, involvement and acceptance were summed up by a seven --year-old respondent to the survey said Dr. Logan. "A good teacher makes you feel good about yourself," the seven-year-old was quoted as saying. , Taking the first letter of each of the six characteristics, the professor noted they spell Utopia. "Youngsters are looking for Utopia," said Dr. Logan. Going through the characteristics, Dr. Logan questioned the teachers present. "Do you understand how people learn?" He said research shows that boys learn to re,+d differently than girls. As a special education teacher, he noted that boys out- numbered girls and in many cases it was because of the way in which they had been taught. Besides understanding how students learn, Dr. Logan spent some time discuss- ing the understanding of students' feelings. "Good teachers can walk in the 'moc- casins' of their students," the professor said. A former teacher of tech boys, Dr. Logan recalled how one year every student in this particular school was required to read Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, except for the tech boys. However, the students asked if he would get them copies of the book so they could at least carry them to and from school. As for trust, Dr. Logan commented that more students are `killed' in a staff room than on highways. On the subject of open- ness, Dr. Logan described reactions of students to teachers they see on the weekend. He also humorously pointed out the efforts. of students to find out their teacher's name. Positive messages are sent out to students by good teachers said Dr. Logan. "Positive messages - self concept go hand in hand with a student's performance," said the professor recalling his own decision to quit school because of the messages sent out by his teacher. Teachers should get involved and Dr. Logan said a disservice is done when - teachers are told not to get involved in students lives. "Teachers should go that extra step in- cluding showing up in the courtroom," said Dr. Logan. Acceptance, the final characteristic, is demonstrated by the good teacher who ac- cents students as they are. TMt&itry REAL ESTATE ,4 7 GODERICH SIGNAL•STAR, WEDNESDAY, NQQVEMBER 7004—PAGE 15 W.J.
