I believe the most important role a teacher can play is being a good example. The language the teacher uses and how they treat the students is very important. I stated this in my graphic organizer and I placed it as the last card because it is the most important. I remember in Elementary school I had a teacher that I was really afraid of because she never had a good attitude and was always on someone about something. In turn, I treated my classmates the same way. Then it started transferring to how I treated my family and my mom would not have that. That was a rough year of school for me.

In turn I have also had teachers who were absolutely fantastic and were able to have a positive attitude all the time. They were willing to listen to all of our crazy stories and be interested in them. Those teachers have showed me how to treat people. Every time a friend or a child talks about something that I don't really share interest in, I have learned to still find interest in it because it is important to them. The teachers set the example for the students in the classroom and it either set it up for a great year or a horrible year.
