Powerful Teachers
The 4 Properties of Powerful Teachers
This is a great article published in The Chronicle of Higher Education on April 3, 2015, Volume LSI, Number 29, page A31, by: Rob Jenkins.
According to Jenkins, four qualities that all Powerful Teachers possess are:
Personality
Great teachers tend to be good-natured and approachable; professional without being aloof; demanding without being unkind; natural; and tremendously creative.
Presence
The unmistakable capacity some people have to “own any room”. We might call it charisma, but it’s more than that. Yet the best teachers, as Lang concluded, are always “present” connecting with both their subject matter and their students.
Preparation
Preparation occurs on three levels: long-term, medium-term and short-term. Most faculty members have already accomplished the long-term preparation by virtue of holding advanced degrees. That preparation will serve you well and be your primary source of authority from your first day in the classroom until your last. But, in between, you must continue your education on a regular basis.
Passion
Passion, or love, manifests itself in the classroom in two ways: love for your students and love for your subject matter.
Maybe we can’t all be that kind of teacher, but we at least should aspire to be. Besides even if we weren’t born with some of these qualities, we can develop them.
Where do you think you are in these 4 Ps?

Course Evaluations
Course Evaluations
At Kansas State University student evaluations of courses are important. By gathering evidence of teaching effectiveness, departments and deans are able to make informed and objective decisions about retention, promotion, tenure and pay increases. The most important benefit of student evaluations is the feedback the evaluations provide directly to instructors, so they can refine their courses and teaching practices to provide students with better learning experiences.
Sometimes students do not know how to properly complete the TEVALS in terms of providing quality, constructive feedback that help instructors to improve their teaching (e.g., they say “this class sucked” or “this class is awesome”). In an effort to improve student awareness of how to complete TEVALS, we would like for you to respond to the following QUESTIONS:
