This split honors section for SOCL 320 took place the first semester of my sophomore year. For this class, our project was to do background research on what makes a good teacher from a principal, teacher, and parent perspective. Once we conducted research and found scholarly articles that acknowledged different characteristics that make a good teacher, we gathered important quotes that would be able to be put in our paper at the end. The next step of our project was to each contact a principal, teacher, and parent that we could interview and ask them different questions to see the qualities they think are important. This was my favorite part of the project as I was able to interview my fourth grade teacher who is the person who inspired me to become a future educator, my elementary school principal, and my parents to see their views on the topic. Since I have taken two education classes up to this point, it was interesting to see how their responses correlated to what I had learned within those education courses at Longwood. After the interviews were complete, we were all instructed to transcribe our interviews and submit them to our professor. This was the most challenging part as I had never transcribed an interview before and it took a very long time to complete each of the interviews I had conducted. At the end though, it was very rewarding so see all of our hard work pay off when we came together to write a paper that demonstrated all of our research on what we believed to have found were the key characteristics that make a good teacher from three different viewpoints.
