In education, a teacher is a person who provides schooling for others. A teacher who facilitates education for an individual student may also be described as a personal tutor. The role of teacher is often formal and ongoing, carried out by way of occupation or profession at a school or other place of formal education. In many countries, a person who wishes to become a teacher at state-funded schools must first obtain professional qualifications or credentials from a university or college. These professional qualifications may include the study of pedagogy, the science of teaching. Teachers will have to continue their education after they receive their degree from a college or university. Teachers may use a lesson plan to facilitate student learning, providing a course of study which covers a standardized curriculum. A teacher's role may vary between cultures. Teachers teach literacy and numeracy, or some of the other school subjects. Other teachers may provide instruction in craftsmanship or vocational training, the Arts, religion or spirituality, civics, community roles, or life skills. In some countries, formal education can take place through home schooling.

Informal learning may be assisted by a teacher occupying a transient or ongoing role, such as a parent or sibling or within a family, or by anyone with knowledge or skills in the wider community setting.

Religious and spiritual teachers, such as gurus, mullahs, rabbis pastors/youth pastors and lamas may teach religious texts such as the Quran, Torah or Bible.

A. I do care and looked at his site. If he did not have probable cause (a good reason) to take your bag and go out of the classroom with it, and truly did put cigarettes in it, why do you think he did this? Were you disiplined for having the cigarettes, did he say anything to you about them in front of the class? I think you should start with telling your parents and see what they think. This does not sound professional or humane to me.

How can teacher accountability have a positive and a negative influence on the classroom environment?
Q. Standards-based education can sometimes put pressure on teachers to be sure they 'measure-up' to the expectations of state standards. How can teacher accountability have a positive and a negative influence on the classroom environment? Respond to classmates' post from a parent perspective

A. While I can't possibly imagine a teacher giving answers to a test (but I'm sure it's happened), a bigger more general problem with teacher accountability is that the teacher naturally places more emphasis on how to pass the test than on the intended curriculum of the course. From a parent's perspective, this means the teachers are "teaching to the test" and only worried about the bonuses that come with good scores. On the flip side, some teachers NEED to have standardized testing to truly hold them accountable. I personally think this means these particular teachers have no business in the business, but either way, it's good to make sure teachers are doing their jobs. From a parent's perspective, it's certainly nice to have concrete… [cont.]

How do you find a good vocal/singing teacher?
Q. I want singing lessons. I was watching "American Idol" and one of the bad contestants said they were trained for 10 years in singing. The last thing I want is to spend a boat load on lessons just to suck! So, how can U tell if a teacher is a good teacher? How can you check to see if they're certified? (I know it's should be hanging up some place, but what if it's not?) Are there somethings that I should look out for when searching for a teacher? (i.e: scams, habits of a bad teacher...). What type of vocal training do U recommend classical, pop, rock, r&b, or anthing else? Are there any teachers in PA, NJ, or DE you'd recommend? Any other helpful hints or tips you'd like to add or more than welcome! Tuyo...your link is cut off by ". [cont.]

A. I saw that, it was crazy! I would suggest going to a performing arts school, if you have one in your area. A local university should also be able to give you good references in the music department. I don't think an established school would hire someone who can't sing. Before you purchase lessons, talk to some of the other students. Also tell the teacher that you want complete honesty from him/her instead of false hopes. Good Luck!
