Be an Energetic and Enthusiastic Teacher

A teacher's energy and enthusiasm will invariably enhance the educational experience for any student. A teacher that possesses enthusiasm for teaching and conveys it in a positive manner with conviction and energy creates a compelling bond between himself and his or her students. Enthusiasm and energy are contagious and, when applied to a classroom environment, can captivate and motivate a reluctant student. A teacher should energize students with his or her enthusiasm. Then, they will become truly inspired by their teacher's example.

I've been a music educator for 25 years and two things I think all of my students would say about me, is that I've always been an enthusiastic and energetic teacher. Alternatively, I've witnessed numerous educators that I considered the polar opposite of energetic and/or enthusiastic about teaching--they were passive and dull educators. How can people like this ever hope to inspire and challenge their students to enjoy learning? They can't! Teaching not only requires knowledge, but the educator should have passion, energy and enthusiasm for communicating the subject matter to students. Students deserve the best possible educational experience society can provide for them, which means they also deserve access to the best educators. I'm proud of being a teacher, and I'm equally proud of saying that I always aspire to give my students the best educational experience that I'm capable of providing for them. I hope that you'll do the same.
