As I am about to enter into my observation hours and internships, one thing I hope to learn from those, if not on here, is how to be a teacher that is likeable but also a teacher that my students respect as a figure of authority. What are the best ways to gain those levels of respect in regards to teaching methods(student and teacher based styles)? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The biggest thing to achieving "cool teacher status" is by setting rules. I know this doesn't seem very "cool", but I promise you, you have to gain the students' respect before you can do anything else. You can, of course, do this by being kind, humorous, and relatable, but if you walk into your classroom the first day of school and just act like the students' friend, they will walk all over you from the first day.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This a great solution.
