Effective Teachers/Inspired Students: The Critical Role of Teachers in "Yeshiva" High Schools
Tannenbaum, Chana
Religious Education, v106 n5 p550-566 2011
Teachers are thought to be the backbone of any high school. Data indicating how students perceive their teachers was gathered from a questionnaire completed by 355 recent Yeshiva high-school graduates. Results show that Yeshiva High School teachers are thought of as open minded and tolerant (51.9%), caring (73.2%), and interested in developing the teacher/student relationship (77.2%). The 66% of Yeshiva students who viewed teachers as positive role models stood in sharp contrast to the 2.4% of the general high-school population reported in the literature who viewed teachers as positive role models. (Contains 4 tables.)
