            “A Passionate Teacher: Teacher Commitment and Dedication to student learning”, by Cagri Tugrul Mart is the article I did my comparison to. This article connects to my writing assignment 100% by showing us how teachers are role models and prepare us for future education/ life. Teachers spend months and years with your child, wouldn’t you want that teacher to be the best influence on your child? If I send my child to school every day I want to know that they’re the best hands. When your child is around someone all the time, they start to develop the same habits. Every parent wants their child to have a healthy education. “Passionate teachers know that is their role to encourage students for an active learning and concern themselves with promoting students intellectual and moral development” (Mart 438) Passionate teachers love doing their job and love to pass it on. Parents depend on that teacher to give their all and prepare them for what they need to know. If you a great teacher you want the class to look up to you. Make them feel comfortable and allow them to trust you at what you’re doing. You should want to be that role model teacher so when the students look back they can say “He/She was my favorite teacher”. We are around teachers from pre-school till grad school. Each and every taught us something new that will lead us into the next step. “There are strong empirical grounds for believing that teachers can and do make a difference and that consistent high quality teaching, supported by strategic professional development, can and does deliver dramatic improvements in student learning “. (Mart 438) Teachers have a huge impact on how students become in the real world. They can either brake them or make them. Some teachers put an extensive amount of work into students; on the other hand, you have teachers who say “You should have been paying attention” The way that you keep focusing is with different tactics; for example, mini learning games. Games that make their mind think and they wouldn’t even know it. They also learn from the various activities, in return they would receive a free homework pass for winning the game. That also motivates other students by encouraging them to win.
