EXEMPLARY TEACHING 3
Introduction
Identifying the qualities of exemplary teachers is crucial as it is a quasi-supreme term that
engages responsibility and authority. Exemplary teachers control the system with the
organizational climate that is important for a student to learn the lessons with prevailing school
curriculum (Munns, Sawyer & Cole, 2013). The teachers shape the example differently and
thereby there is a close connection between student and teachers. However, it is important to
know that there is a difference in belief of students about the exemplary teacher. The qualities
and characteristics of exemplary teachers are discussed and the implications of the study are
carried on. Exemplary teachers satisfy all the characteristics of a good teacher who
communicates with the teacher and builds a positive relationship in order to set the standards of
the student while expecting a high-level standard from students. Successful teaching is observed
by exemplary teachers. I have been inspired by my teacher who respects children and considers
the importance of family in teaching life lessons. The community and culture acceptance I have
observed. There are several qualities that I observed in my exemplary teachers such as social
support, diversity and reciprocal relationships. My belief about exemplary teachers is largely
influencing me to promote more knowledge and consider engaging in learning community with
effective learning strategies. I have set an idea and implications in which I will work as an
exemplary teacher. The work shares the comparison of exemplary teachers beliefs of my friends
and family. I have gained knowledge from my exemplary teacher and have developed qualities
that ensure my learning abilities and skills. I was inspired by my teacher in class 6 while I was
working on a project of history. Since then I have ensured to focus on the qualities like
motivation and focusing on my vision until I achieve my goal.
Comparison of beliefs of exemplary teachers
The comparison and analysis of beliefs of exemplary teachers are described with the important
qualities and experience in teaching. In my opinion, the exemplary teacher is the one who
respects students and their families while supporting students irrespective of socio-economic
status or diverse culture. The qualities of exemplary teacher according to my experience are a
respectful, reliable and honest partnership between student and teachers. There is a kind of social
support which intrinsic changes the motivation and behavior of students. My beliefs about the
exemplary teacher are due to the influence that I received from my exemplary teacher when I

was in school and was working for a history project. I believe that exemplary teachers are
prominent and have professional experience and expertise in their subject area. The professional
practice that teachers have are highly effective and ensure strategic lessons provided to a child.
With high efficiency standards, it is important that the significant change that I have observed in
learning lessons are irrespective of the subject curriculum. Due to these changes, there is
personal growth and development in my subject area and overall influence in the personality is
observed due to the qualities that I observed in an exemplary teacher.
According to student A, who is a teacher by profession, he believes that exemplary teacher is a
supportive model who supports students in achieving their goals irrespective of any standards of
social status. The qualities of dedication and support are observed in his experience of the
exemplary teacher. Student A is one of my friends and is from Australia who works there with a
similar experience as an exemplary teacher. The exemplary teacher supported her as a student
and a child while working on speech improvement because the student had a speech disorder. At
this time, the exemplary teacher collaborates with the family and parents while improving the
learning speech abilities. The exemplary as experienced by my friend is different as compared to
mine because I had a problem in working on a project while my friend who is student A has
speech disorder who was highly supported by her teacher.
Another friend of mine, who is student B, lives in China and is a lawyer. He believes that
exemplary teacher according to him is a person who changes and adopts the environment with a
positive attitude and culture acceptance. My friend has a major experience when she was in
school. She encounters unfair situations that were observed in school while it was difficult for
her to adjust in the environment and ensure high standards in school. She had low socio-
economic status while this was the reason she was bullied and was treated as an exclusion (Gast
& Ledford, 2014). The education system that was encountered was behavior control and
compliance. The teachers in the school adopted an exclusive curriculum approach which was not
applied for me. The school lacked an inclusive teaching approach and due to this diversity was a
huge problem that she encountered in her school life. It was her Math teacher who was her
exemplary teacher and believed that she was no less than others and should be treated equally
though she had low social status (Klein, 2015). There were positive identities that were
developed and due to this, the teacher ensured that inclusive learning approach will be adopted in
