What makes a good teacher?

As a teacher in training, I wanted to gather information on the qualities people value in a teacher. I sat down with two good friends of mine, Paul Schweigl and Nathan Lutterman, to  ask their opinion of the matter.

Paul Schweigl graduated from St. Norbert College in beautiful De Pere, Wisconsin, with a Bachelors Degree in History and Religious Studies. He is currently a graduate student at the University of Notre Dame and a high school religious studies teacher in Wisconsin.

 

 

Nathan Lutterman is currently a Computer Science undergraduate student at University of Wisconsin – Green Bay. He also works part-time at Family Video, a movie rental company. He hopes to one day become an astronaut.
