Who was your most influential teacher? Why?
He was special in several different ways, but what really made me fascinated by him was how interesting conversations we had once I got to know him more. We went to beautiful places in our location like a wonderful beach some half hour drive away. And his interests in deep thought, films, philosophy, music, German language and Eastern spirituality made me admire him a lot.
Who was your most influential teacher? Why?
My mother is a teacher in videregående skole/opplæring and her topics include science, maths and Norwegian language. Her students are mostly young immigrants or refugees that prepare to study in regular classes with native speakers of Norwegian. My grandmother is a retired teacher specialised in Norwegian language education. In my opinion they are both very good teachers in their unique ways, they are very passionate about learning from own experience and to be welcoming for foreign origins persons.
Thanks for reading ❤
apart from the great teacher of life itself, I remember two teachers in particular.
I’ve talked about my high-school Norwegian supremacist teacher that strongly disliked me and my foreign/non-European friends and I mention him because it affects my view of what a good teacher does to help students learning in all parts of life, not only what we are told about what school is meant for teaching us but about general society, the nature of human kind as a whole deeply felt true lesson. I credit him for seeing good in others no matter what background and ethnicity, even if the lesson was very harsh and unfair.
my other teacher was a great role model and she was unique, funny and inspiring plus we got along great not only as teacher and student but as fellow human beings. She was honest about her views on society and show interest in my strong points, my passion for learning from my own point of observation. Thank you C, for helping me see my strenghts I didn’t know I had.
thanks for reading, we all learn from each other about our inner + outside world ❤
