acuity Teacher attitude Consistency and fairness were sub- jects many teachers deemed impor- tant in their relationships with students. I think it's important to be both fair and consistent, and being prepared, both academically and organizationally, for each class helps, said Mrs. Audrey Amundsen, Spanish II and III instructor. One of the most important characteristics a teacher must have is an unbiased attitude. There is no room for partiality or prejudice in a relationship between a teacher and a student, commented Ms. Bristow. Successful teaching methods and comfortable student-teacher relations were both important for teachers. My main objective in teaching is to stimulate students to think by arousing their interest in literature to help students learn to express themselves in writing, added Mrs. Kelley. I hope that after a student has completed my class, he or she will have acquired the ability to ade- quately express themselves in both written and spoken English, said Ms. Bristow. Because of the personal interest each teacher placed in her work, both student and teacher benefitted and gained satisfaction from the learning experience. I enjoy watching the captivating effect of a good piece of literature on young minds, seeing them grasp the universality of human experience, commented Mrs. VanWinkle. Seeing folks get excited during a lab, when class is over, hearing someone say 'that was really in- teresting' and having people come back from college and tell me my class helped them are some of my most treasured moments, said Mrs. Schofield. I get the most enjoyment from see- ing students progress in becoming in- tellectually curious and desirous of learning on their own, stated Mrs. Kelley. Adding to my students' awareness of their world, stimulating their en- thusiasm for learning and enhanc- 158 O Faculty arouses interest ing their self-esteem is my main goal in teaching, said Mrs. VanWinkle. Fulfillment of each teacher's goals was the result of many hours of lesson planning, research and the ac- tual in-class teaching time. I spend a long time studying, observing and applying each literary concept before presenting it to the class. I just don't feel comfortable in- structing a class on a subject unless I have a full understanding of it myself, explained Ms. Bristow. Nevertheless, viewing the final ef- fect of her efforts, however, it was achieved, was an enjoyable ex- perience for almost every teacher. According to Mrs. Amundsen, The results of my efforts are what give me the most happiness. I enjoy the satisfaction of seeing students accomplish what their ability led them to dog, w by Michele Mahoney N-mm-.a.......,,,, Teachers painted their private lunchroom off Visiting at a reception for Mrs. Lola Ojeman, the Southwest corner ofthe cafeteria.
