My favourite teacher was my high-school drama teacher, Mr. Renner. He was creative, comical, kind, and accepting of every student that walked through his door. He was always willing to join in on the ‘fun’, and saw value in who we were as young adults. It gave me great confidence that I think I still draw on today as an adult to help promote inclusion, kindness, and creativity.

I was lucky to have lots of amazing teachers and professors, but my favourite (and the reason I became a teacher myself) was Linda Kelly, who taught me when I was in Grade 1 at Montgomery St. School in Fredericton, N.B. The things I appreciated and admired most about Mrs. Kelly were her patience, and how she supported and challenged her students.
There’s a line in a Maya Angelou poem about a teacher “loving the children to understanding”, and Mrs. Kelly did that. Because she made students feel valued and connected, we learned and succeeded.

My favorite teacher was Professor McIntyre who was my prof at Carleton University. He taught intro to Psychology. He is my favorite because even though he had 300 students in his class he still took the time for his students. He noticed I missed the second question on a multiple choice test which in turn mixed up all my answers on this 150 question multiple choice exam. He took the time to meet with me and go over my exam properly and fix my mark accordingly. ?I was very appreciative of his time and efforts.

My favourite teacher was Mr. Robert Sasso, my grade 4 teacher and Senior Boys basketball coach at St. John de Brebeuf elementary school in Kingsville, Ontario. He taught us the important value of respect and how to have fun at the same time. Our basketball team also went undefeated in my grade 8 year under his watch so that helped his cause of becoming my favourite teacher 🙂

Monsieur Laflamme was my favourite teacher. He was a positive man and very passionate about his job. He always had a new fun way to teach us French grammar rules.

In school, my favourite teachers were my grade 8 homeroom teacher and my grade 11 history teacher. What they had in common was their ability to model positive leadership and intelligence as some of the strongest female role models in my life, up to that point.

Mrs Wetter, my social economics teacher and high school counsellor …. because she cared and you always knew she was a safe place to talk if you ever needed anything, and she made learning fun.
