3 More Teacher Archetypes: The "All That" Teacher, The Organized Teacher, and the Fair and Solid Teacher 

3/28/2013

This post is relevant to 3/24 (7Teacher Archetypes) and 3/27 (Strategies for Students and Parents--Teacher Archetypes).  I've just added 3 more models.  So now there are 10 archetypes, instead of 7.

“All That” Teacher

·      May have chosen teaching as a 2nd or 3rd career, after working for many years in a different profession

·      Believes that he/she was born to teach, and may even exude a strong sense of bravado

·      Beneath a confident veneer, lies deep-seated insecurities

·      Through years of experience in other professions, is adept at playing the politics of working within a school system

·      May have a “larger than life” personality, and may be very popular with younger students

·      Has a deep love for students, and fully believes in their unlimited potential

·      Brings a new sense of excitement and commitment to teaching

·      Tendency to brag about and exaggerate his/her own accomplishments

·      Can be overbearing with colleagues; colleagues may feel that this teacher is out of touch with reality or full of him/herself

·      Needs to always be “right”

Organized Teacher

·      May be a high school teacher

·      Keeps meticulous student records

·      Maintains a current syllabus, so that students and teachers know what to expect

·      May even publish a teaching schedule, so that students and parents are aware of upcoming curriculum and tests

·      Sticks to his/her teaching schedule, but is easily able to make changes when needed

·      May not be the most exciting lecturer or presenter

·      May be able to process information at a fast rate, and may not be able to understand those who cannot do the same

·      May not be so adept at working with students who have learning differences

·      Might not be too much of an extrovert

·      Usually unwilling to make allowances for make-up tests, assignments, or grade changes

Fair and Solid Teacher

·      Veteran teacher

·      May teach at a top high school or a community college

·      From years of experience, knows how to pick his/her battles, and doesn’t waste energy or time otherwise

·      Conscientious in maintaining student records, syllabus, and teaching schedule

·      Doesn’t have an axe to grind, and is so much more effective for it

·      Fair and non-judgmental in his/her treatment of students

·      Willing to meet students during office hours or make an appointment outside of office hours, if necessary

·      Not a perfectionist, but a realist

·      Realizes the importance of maintaining balance in life

Just like you, I also had an observation that there are different kinds of teachers. The "All That" Teacher, The Organized Teacher, and the Fair and Solid Teacher do exist, but one thing is for sure; all these teachers are efficient! They may differ on their styles of teaching and life and their methods may clash for a while, but their styles are what makes them special. Their differences are something that we should celebrate. As long as they can do their job, there is nothing we should be complained about them!

    I have been working with students of all ages, levels, and backgrounds since I was a young adult.  I began teaching in adult education and the arts and have since expanded my horizons to include all ages and mathematics!
