A teacher of a Latin school and two students, 1487 A teacher (also called a school teacher or, in some contexts, an educator) is a person who helps others to acquire, competences or values. Informally the role of teacher may be taken on by anyone (e.g. When showing a colleague how to perform a specific task).
In some countries, teaching young people of school age may be carried out in an informal setting, such as within the family , rather than in a formal setting such as a school or college. Some other professions may involve a significant amount of teaching (e.g.
Youth worker, pastor). In most countries, formal teaching of is usually carried out by paid teachers. This article focuses on those who are employed, as their main role, to teach others in a formal context, such as at a or other place of initial formal education or training. Chilean schoolchildren during a class photograph with their teacher, 2002 A teacher's role may vary among cultures. Teachers may provide instruction in and, or, community roles, or life skills.
Formal teaching tasks include preparing lessons according to agreed curricula, giving lessons, and assessing pupil progress. A teacher's professional duties may extend beyond formal teaching. Outside of the classroom teachers may accompany students on field trips, supervise, help with the organization of school functions, and serve as supervisors for. In some education systems, teachers may have responsibility for student. Competences and qualities required by teachers Teaching is a highly complex activity.
This is in part because teaching is a social practice, that takes place in a specific context (time, place, culture, socio-political-economic situation etc.) and therefore reflects the values of that specific context. Factors that influence what is expected (or required) of teachers include history and tradition, social views about the purpose of education, accepted theories about learning, etc.
Competences The competencies required by a teacher are affected by the different ways in which the role is understood around the world. Broadly, there seem to be four models: the teacher as manager of instruction; the teacher as caring person; the teacher as expert learner; and the teacher as cultural and civic person.
The has argued that it is necessary to develop a shared definition of the skills and knowledge required by teachers, in order to guide teachers' career-long education and professional development. Some evidence-based international discussions have tried to reach such a common understanding. For example, the has identified three broad areas of competences that teachers require: Working with others Working with knowledge, technology and information, and Working in and with society. Scholarly consensus is emerging that what is required of teachers can be grouped under three headings: knowledge (such as: the subject matter itself and knowledge about how to teach it, curricular knowledge, knowledge about the educational sciences, psychology, assessment etc.) craft skills (such as lesson planning, using teaching technologies, managing students and groups, monitoring and assessing learning etc.) and dispositions (such as essential values and attitudes, beliefs and commitment).
Qualities Enthusiasm. A teacher interacts with older students at a school in New Zealand It has been found that teachers who showed enthusiasm towards the course materials and students can create a positive learning experience. These teachers do not teach by rote but attempt to find new invigoration for the course materials on a daily basis. One of the challenges facing teachers is that they may have repeatedly covered a curriculum until they begin to feel bored with the subject, and their attitude may in turn bore the students.
Students who had enthusiastic teachers tend to rate them higher than teachers who didn't show much enthusiasm for the course materials. A primary school teacher on a picnic with her students, 2014 Teachers that exhibit enthusiasm can lead to students who are more likely to be engaged, interested, energetic, and curious about learning the subject matter. Recent research has found a correlation between teacher enthusiasm and students' intrinsic motivation to learn and vitality in the classroom.
Controlled, experimental studies exploring intrinsic motivation of college students has shown that nonverbal expressions of enthusiasm, such as demonstrative gesturing, dramatic movements which are varied, and emotional facial expressions, result in college students reporting higher levels of intrinsic motivation to learn. But even while a teacher's enthusiasm has been shown to improve motivation and increase task engagement, it does not necessarily improve learning outcomes or memory for the material. There are various mechanisms by which teacher enthusiasm may facilitate higher levels of intrinsic motivation. Teacher enthusiasm may contribute to a classroom atmosphere of energy and enthusiasm which feeds student interest and excitement in learning the subject matter. Enthusiastic teachers may also lead to students becoming more self-determined in their own learning process. The concept of mere exposure indicates that the teacher's enthusiasm may contribute to the student's expectations about intrinsic motivation in the context of learning. Also, enthusiasm may act as a 'motivational embellishment', increasing a student's interest by the variety, novelty, and surprise of the enthusiastic teacher's presentation of the material.
Finally, the concept of emotional contagion, may also apply; students may become more intrinsically motivated by catching onto the enthusiasm and energy of the teacher. Interaction with learners Research shows that student motivation and attitudes towards school are closely linked to student-teacher relationships. Enthusiastic teachers are particularly good at creating beneficial relations with their students.
Their ability to create effective learning environments that foster student achievement depends on the kind of relationship they build with their students. Useful teacher-to-student interactions are crucial in linking academic success with personal achievement. Here, personal success is a student's internal goal of improving himself, whereas academic success includes the goals he receives from his superior. A teacher must guide her student in aligning her personal goals with her academic goals. Students who receive this positive influence show stronger self-confidence and greater personal and academic success than those without these teacher interactions.
Students are likely to build stronger relations with teachers who are friendly and supportive and will show more interest in courses taught by these teachers. Teachers that spend more time interacting and working directly with students are perceived as supportive and effective teachers. Effective teachers have been shown to invite student participation and decision making, allow humor into their classroom, and demonstrate a willingness to play. Teaching qualifications In many countries, a person who wishes to become a teacher must first obtain from a.
These professional qualifications may include the study of, the science of teaching. Teachers, like other professionals, may have to, or choose to, continue their education after they qualify, a process known as. The issue of teacher qualifications is linked to the status of the profession. In some societies, teachers enjoy a status on a par with, and, in others, the status of the profession is low. In the twentieth century, many intelligent women were unable to get jobs in corporations or governments so many chose teaching as a default profession. As women become more welcomed into corporations and governments today, it may be more difficult to attract qualified teachers in the future. Teachers are often required to undergo a course of initial education at a to ensure that they possess the necessary knowledge, competences and adhere to relevant.
There are a variety of bodies designed to instill, preserve and update the knowledge and professional standing of teachers. Around the world many teachers' colleges exist; they may be controlled by government or by the teaching profession itself. They are generally established to serve and protect the public interest through, governing, quality controlling, and enforcing standards of practice for the teaching profession. Professional standards The functions of the teachers' colleges may include setting out clear standards of practice, providing for the ongoing education of teachers, investigating complaints involving members, conducting hearings into of professional misconduct and taking appropriate disciplinary action and teacher education programs. In many situations teachers in must be members in good standing with the college, and may also require their teachers to be college members.
In other areas these roles may belong to the State, the, the or other governmental bodies. In still other areas may be responsible for some or all of these duties. Professional misconduct. See also: Misconduct by teachers, especially, has been getting increased scrutiny from the media and the courts. A study by the reported that 9.6% of students in the United States claim to have received unwanted sexual attention from an adult associated with education; be they a volunteer, bus driver, teacher, administrator or other adult; sometime during their educational career. A study in England showed a 0.3% prevalence of sexual abuse by any professional, a group that included, religious leaders, and case workers as well as teachers. It is important to note, however, that this British study is the only one of its kind and consisted of 'a random.
Probability sample of 2,869 young people between the ages of 18 and 24 in a computer-assisted study' and that the questions referred to 'sexual abuse with a professional,' not necessarily a teacher. It is therefore logical to conclude that information on the percentage of abuses by teachers in the United Kingdom is not explicitly available and therefore not necessarily reliable. The AAUW study, however, posed questions about fourteen types of sexual harassment and various degrees of frequency and included only abuses by teachers. 'The sample was drawn from a list of 80,000 schools to create a stratified two-stage sample design of 2,065 8th to 11th grade students'. Its reliability was gauged at 95% with a 4% margin of error. In the especially, several high-profile cases such as, and have caused increased scrutiny on teacher misconduct., the general secretary of, said that teachers who have sex with pupils over the age of consent should not be placed on the sex offenders register and that prosecution for statutory rape 'is a real anomaly in the law that we are concerned about.' This has led to outrage from child protection and parental rights groups.
Fears of being labelled a or has led to several men who enjoy teaching avoiding the profession. This has in some jurisdictions reportedly led to a shortage of teachers. Pedagogy and teaching. Children with their teacher in, the beginning of the 20th century. The objective is typically accomplished through either an or formal approach to learning, including a course of study and that teaches, or skills. Different ways to teach are often referred to as.
When deciding what teaching method to use teachers consider students' background knowledge, environment, and their learning goals as well as standardized as determined by the relevant authority. Many times, teachers assist in learning outside of the classroom by accompanying students on field trips.
The increasing use of, specifically the rise of the over the past decade, has begun to shape the way teachers approach their roles in the. The is typically a course of study, or a practical skill. A teacher may follow standardized as determined by the relevant authority.
The teacher may interact with students of different ages, from infants to, students with different abilities and students with learning. Teaching using pedagogy also involve assessing the educational levels of the students on particular skills. Understanding the pedagogy of the students in a classroom involves using as well as supervision to meet the needs of all students in the classroom. Pedagogy can be thought of in two manners. First, teaching itself can be taught in many different ways, hence, using a. Second, the pedagogy of the learners comes into play when a teacher assesses the pedagogic diversity of his/her students and differentiates for the students accordingly. For example, an experienced teacher and parent described the place of a teacher in learning as follows: 'The real bulk of learning takes place in self-study and problem solving with a lot of feedback around that loop.
The function of the teacher is to pressure the lazy, inspire the bored, deflate the cocky, encourage the timid, detect and correct individual flaws, and broaden the viewpoint of all. This function looks like that of a coach using the whole gamut of psychology to get each new class of rookies off the bench and into the game.' Perhaps the most significant difference between and teaching is the relationship between teachers and children. In primary schools each class has a teacher who stays with them for most of the week and will teach them the whole curriculum.
In secondary schools they will be taught by different subject specialists each session during the week and may have ten or more different teachers. The relationship between children and their teachers tends to be closer in the primary school where they act as form tutor, specialist teacher and surrogate parent during the course of the day. This is true throughout most of the United States as well. However, alternative approaches for primary education do exist. One of these, sometimes referred to as a 'platoon' system, involves placing a group of students together in one class that moves from one specialist to another for every subject. The advantage here is that students learn from teachers who specialize in one subject and who tend to be more knowledgeable in that one area than a teacher who teaches many subjects. Students still derive a strong sense of security by staying with the same group of peers for all classes.
Has also become a new trend amongst educational institutions. Co-teaching is defined as two or more teachers working harmoniously to fulfill the needs of every student in the classroom. Co-teaching focuses the student on learning by providing a support that allows them to reach their full cognitive potential. Co-teachers work in sync with one another to create a climate of learning. Classroom management Teachers and school discipline. Medieval schoolboy birched on the bare buttocks In past times, corporal punishment ( or or or or the student in order to cause physical pain) was one of the most common forms of school discipline throughout much of the world.
Most Western countries, and some others, have now banned it, but it remains lawful in the following a US Supreme Court decision in 1977 which held that paddling did not violate the US Constitution. 30 US states have banned corporal punishment, the others (mostly in ) have not. It is still used to a significant (though declining) degree in some public schools in,. Private schools in these and most other states may also use it. Corporal punishment in American schools is administered to the seat of the student's trousers or skirt with a specially made wooden paddle.
This often used to take place in the classroom or hallway, but nowadays the punishment is usually given privately in the principal's office. Official corporal punishment, often by, remains commonplace in schools in some, and countries. For details of individual countries see. Currently detention is one of the most common punishments in schools in the, the, and other countries. It requires the pupil to remain in school at a given time in the school day (such as lunch, recess or after school); or even to attend school on a non-school day, e.g. 'Saturday detention' held at some schools.
During detention, students normally have to sit in a classroom and do work, write lines or a punishment essay, or sit quietly. A modern example of school discipline in and relies upon the idea of an assertive teacher who is prepared to impose their will upon a class. Positive reinforcement is balanced with immediate and fair punishment for misbehavior and firm, clear boundaries define what is appropriate and inappropriate behavior.
Teachers are expected to respect their students; sarcasm and attempts to humiliate pupils are seen as falling outside of what constitutes reasonable discipline. Whilst this is the consensus viewpoint amongst the majority of academics, some teachers and parents advocate a more assertive and confrontational style of discipline (refer to Canter Model of Discipline). Such individuals claim that many problems with modern schooling stem from the weakness in school discipline and if teachers exercised firm control over the classroom they would be able to teach more efficiently. This viewpoint is supported by the educational attainment of countries—in for instance—that combine strict discipline with high standards of education. It's not clear, however that this stereotypical view reflects the reality of East Asian classrooms or that the educational goals in these countries are commensurable with those in Western countries. In, for example, although average attainment on standardized tests may exceed those in Western countries, classroom discipline and behavior is highly problematic.
Although, officially, schools have extremely rigid codes of behavior, in practice many teachers find the students unmanageable and do not enforce discipline at all. Where school class sizes are typically 40 to 50 students, maintaining order in the classroom can divert the teacher from instruction, leaving little opportunity for concentration and focus on what is being taught.
In response, teachers may concentrate their attention on motivated students, ignoring and disruptive students. The result of this is that motivated students, facing demanding university entrance examinations, receive disproportionate resources. Given the emphasis on attainment of university places, administrators and governors may regard this policy as appropriate. Obligation to honor students rights. Main article: democratic schools claim that popularly based authority can maintain order more effectively than dictatorial authority for governments and schools alike. They also claim that in these schools the preservation of public order is easier and more efficient than anywhere else. Primarily because rules and regulations are made by the community as a whole, thence the school atmosphere is one of persuasion and negotiation, rather than confrontation since there is no one to confront.
Sudbury model democratic schools' proponents argue that a school that has good, clear laws, fairly and democratically passed by the entire school community, and a good judicial system for enforcing these laws, is a school in which community discipline prevails, and in which an increasingly sophisticated concept of law and order develops, against other schools today, where rules are arbitrary, authority is absolute, punishment is capricious, and is unknown. Occupational hazards. Main article: Teachers face several occupational hazards in their line of work, including, which can negatively impact teachers' mental and physical health, productivity, and students' performance. Stress can be caused by organizational change, relationships with students, fellow teachers, and administrative personnel, working environment, expectations to substitute, long hours with a heavy workload, and inspections. Teachers are also at high risk for. A 2000 study found that 42% of UK teachers experienced occupational stress, twice the figure for the average profession.
A 2012 study found that teachers experienced double the rate of anxiety, depression, and stress than average workers. There are several ways to mitigate the occupational hazards of teaching.
Organizational interventions, like changing teachers' schedules, providing support networks and mentoring, changing the work environment, and offering promotions and bonuses, may be effective in helping to reduce occupational stress among teachers. Individual-level interventions, including stress-management training and counseling, are also used to relieve occupational stress among teachers. Apart from this, teachers are often not given sufficient opportunities for professional growth or promotions. This leads to some stagnancy, as there is not sufficient interests to enter the profession. An organisation in India called is working to reduce this hazard, by trying to open opportunities for teachers in India. Teaching around the world.
Math and physics teacher at a junior college in, in the 1960s There are many similarities and differences among teachers around the world. In almost all countries teachers are educated in a.
Governments may require by a recognized body before they can teach in a. In many countries, elementary school education certificate is earned after completion of high school. The high school student follows an education specialty track, obtain the prerequisite 'student-teaching' time, and receive a special diploma to begin teaching after graduation. In addition to certification, many educational institutions especially within the US, require that prospective teachers pass a background check and psychiatric evaluation to be able to teach in classroom. This is not always the case with adult further learning institutions but is fast becoming the norm in many countries as security concerns grow.
Generally follow an English-speaking, Western curriculum and are aimed at expatriate communities. See also: and In ancient India, the most common form of education was based on the (teacher-disciple tradition) which involved the disciple and guru living in the same (or a nearby) residence. These gurukulam was supported by public donations and the guru would not accept any fees from the shishya. This organized system stayed the most prominent form of education in the until the British invasion. Through strong efforts in 1886 and 1948, the gurukula system was revived in India.
The role and success of a teacher in the modern Indian education system is clearly defined. Standards define the competencies that a good teacher should possess. Schools look for competent teachers across grades. Teachers are appointed directly by schools in private sector, and through eligibility tests in government schools. Main article: Salaries for primary teachers in depend mainly on seniority (i.e. Holding the position of, deputy principal or ), experience and qualifications.
Extra pay is also given for teaching through the, in a area or on an. The basic pay for a starting teacher is €27,814, rising incrementally to €53,423 for a teacher with 25 years service.
A principal of a large school with many years experience and several qualifications (, etc.) could earn over €90,000. Teachers are required to be registered with the Teaching Council; under Section 30 of the Teaching Council Act 2001, a person employed in any capacity in a recognised teaching post - who is not registered with the Teaching Council - may not be paid from funds. From 2006 vetting has been introduced for new entrants to the teaching profession. These procedures apply to teaching and also to non-teaching posts and those who refuse vetting 'cannot be appointed or engaged by the school in any capacity including in a voluntary role'. Existing staff will be vetted on a phased basis.
United Kingdom. Main article: Salaries for, primary and secondary school teachers ranged from 20,133 to £41,004 in September 2007, although some salaries can go much higher depending on experience and extra responsibilities.
Preschool teachers may earn an average salary of £19,543 annually. Teachers in state schools must have at least a, complete an approved teacher education program, and be licensed. Many counties offer alternative licensing programs to attract people into teaching, especially for hard-to-fill positions. Excellent job opportunities are expected as, especially among secondary school teachers, outweigh slowing enrollment growth; opportunities will vary by geographic area and subject taught.
Scotland. Main article: In, anyone wishing to teach must be registered with the (GTCS). Teaching in Scotland is an all graduate profession and the normal route for graduates wishing to teach is to complete a programme of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) at one of the seven Scottish Universities who offer these courses. Once successfully completed, 'Provisional Registration' is given by the GTCS which is raised to 'Full Registration' status after a year if there is sufficient evidence to show that the 'Standard for Full Registration' has been met.
For the salary year beginning April 2008, unpromoted teachers in earned from £20,427 for a Probationer, up to £32,583 after 6 years teaching, but could then go on to earn up to £39,942 as they complete the modules to earn Chartered Teacher Status (requiring at least 6 years at up to two modules per year.) Promotion to positions attracts a salary of between £34,566 and £44,616; Deputy Head, and earn from £40,290 to £78,642. Teachers in Scotland can be registered members of trade unions with the main ones being the and the. Main article: Education in Wales differs in certain respects from education elsewhere in the United Kingdom. For example, a significant number of students all over Wales are educated either wholly or largely through the medium of Welsh: in 2008/09, 22 per cent of classes in maintained primary schools used Welsh as the sole or main medium of instruction. Welsh medium education is available to all age groups through nurseries, schools, colleges and universities and in adult education; lessons in the language itself are compulsory for all pupils until the age of 16.
Teachers in can be registered members of such as, or and reports in recent years suggest that the average age of teachers in Wales is falling with teachers being younger than in previous years. A growing cause of concern are that attacks on teachers in Welsh schools which reached an all-time high between 2005 and 2010. United States.
Students of a U.S. University with their professor on the far right, 2009 In the, each determines the requirements for getting a license to teach in public schools.
Teaching certification generally lasts three years, but teachers can receive certificates that last as long as ten years. Public school teachers are required to have a bachelor's degree and the majority must be certified by the state in which they teach. Many do not require that their teachers be certified, provided they meet the standards to be highly qualified as set. Additionally, the requirements for substitute/temporary teachers are generally not as rigorous as those for full-time professionals. The estimates that there are 1.4 million teachers, 674,000 teachers, and 1 million teachers employed in the U.S. In the past, teachers have been paid relatively low salaries.
However, average teacher salaries have improved rapidly in recent years. US teachers are generally paid on graduated scales, with income depending on experience. Teachers with more experience and higher education earn more than those with a standard bachelor's degree and certificate. Salaries vary greatly depending on state, relative cost of living, and grade taught. Salaries also vary within states where wealthy suburban school districts generally have higher salary schedules than other districts. The median salary for all primary and secondary teachers was 46,000 in 2004, with the average entry salary for a teacher with a bachelor's degree being an estimated $32,000.
Median salaries for preschool teachers, however, were less than half the national median for secondary teachers, clock in at an estimated $21,000 in 2004. For high school teachers, median salaries in 2007 ranged from $35,000 in South Dakota to $71,000 in New York, with a national median of $52,000.
Some contracts may include long-term, emergency/ and investment options. The ' teacher salary survey for the 2006-07 school year found that the average teacher salary was $51,009. In a salary survey report for K-12 teachers, elementary school teachers had the lowest median salary earning $39,259.
High school teachers had the highest median salary earning $41,855. Many teachers take advantage of the opportunity to increase their income by supervising after-school programs and other extracurricular activities. In addition to monetary compensation, public school teachers may also enjoy greater benefits (like health insurance) compared to other occupations. Merit pay systems are on the rise for teachers, paying teachers extra money based on excellent classroom evaluations, high test scores and for high success at their overall school.
Also, with the advent of the internet, many teachers are now selling their lesson plans to other teachers through the web in order to earn supplemental income, most notably on TeachersPayTeachers.com. Notable educators. Assistant teachers Assistant teachers are additional teachers assisting the primary teacher, often in the same classroom.
There are different types around the world, as well as a variety of formal programs defining roles and responsibilities. One type is a, which in Germany is run by the Educational Exchange Service. British schools employ, who are not considered fully qualified teachers, and as such, are guided by teachers but may supervise and teach groups of pupils independently. In the United Kingdom, the term 'assistant teacher' used to be used to refer to any qualified or unqualified teacher who was not a head or deputy head teacher. The Japanese education system employs in elementary, junior high and high schools. ( short form: LdL) is a method which allows pupils and students to prepare and teach lessons or parts of lessons, with the understanding that a student's own learning is enhanced through the teaching process.

Teachers play important role in our life to become successful in career and business. A good teacher helps us to become good human being in the society and good citizen of the country. Teachers know that students are the future of any nation. So the future development of any nation is in the hands of teachers. What we become in life is depends on teachers. Teachers impart the data and information in the brain of students to analyze.
Analyzing in the situation what is possible is the most important thing that we learn from teachers. Appreciation of teachers is very important because they are most important people in the country. What we’re seeing today in business, politics, and society all affected by teachers.
So, in India, we celebrate teacher day every year on 5 September on the occasion of the birth (5 Sep 1888 – 17 April 1975). “Teachers should be the best minds in the country” – Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Today the people are changing and their thinking and development ideas are more against nature. Now for the world, a teacher is just a teacher.
Politician just speech on on the occasion and forget. People share few post on social media regarding teacher and then forget. People forget more things than they are learning from teachers. Schools and students celebrate the teachers day occasion and appreciate the efforts teachers are doing.
This is great if people should follow the lessons of teachers. The real gift for teachers is when students become a good human being, successful in their career and business. Not all teachers are good in teaching and similarly, not all students are like “Shishya and Guru” especially in the modern era. Some teachers are great and they are always in heart of students. Students look up to teachers for advice and guidance. Students not only interested in academic lessons but they are interested to follow their life lessons. That’s why it’s highly important for teachers to inspire students to follow good habits not bad by their own example.
An and plays various roles in different stages of life. It’s important that people realize the importance of teachers and follow their lessons. Related: How teachers bring changes in student’s life For me, teachers are the real VIP’s, not politicians.
We need teachers on every step of life and career. Teachers are not only important for students but also for society. Presence of teachers in any meeting and social activities boost the moral and make the time more valuable.
Parents are also teacher where kids become what they want to be. Teachers are not only human being but they are like natural plants.
A leader is a teacher in some cases where he/ she teach how to lead a company. Parents are also teacher where kids become what they want to be. Teachers are not only human being but nature, plants, table, pen, Teachers are not only human being but nature, plants, table, pen, the internet, society all are teachers if we see these things from the eyes of the learner. Life is a teacher. Time is a Teacher. It’s depending on us what we think and how we think and what is the impact of our thinking on society and our career. When we learn we become creative and creativity leads us thinking and execution of thinking make a great from good and good from average.
According to what I understand so far from these lines of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. “Learning gives creativity. Creativity leads to thinking. Thinking provides knowledge. Knowledge makes you great.” ― A.P.J.
I am not capable to explain the meaning of this great teacher but I will try. In this case, we learn from teachers that give us creativity. Creativity in students mind leads to thinking right or wrong. Taking a right decision in right time give us great results.
These results bring changes in our life. Here are my thoughts about the importance of Teachers Teachers build a society with good human being. “To me, the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching.” – George Bernard Shaw Teachers help us to become a good human being. Good human being can contribute to the development of society. A developed society with good people helps others to become successful and happy. The ideology and morals help people to learn how to handle relationships in life.
Teachers help us and show how to interact with different personalities. These things really matter later in the life of students. This is why teachers are an important pillar of society.
Today our society need to understand and analyze right and wrong. We need people who think about the future and create solution those are nature-friendly. We need leaders who drive the nation into the development and independence.
For the development of society, we can’t only depend on teachers. We should need to execute their lessons in the society. We need to support people as a society to become successful. We need to post and share good things on social media that make others happy and positive.
We need to explore possible solutions. We need to appreciate good things. But this is not possible without self-analysis. Today I think societies are influenced by media. Media explore what they think right or wrong.
It’s ok that they are doing their duty. But we all need to analyze that our duty is not to explore bad things but good things. What is coming generation learn from this kind of social media and politicians whereas they just criticizing each other for the voting purposes?
That’s why we need great teachers in schools who think about the future of the country. Teacher’s roles are really important to teach students what is right or wrong and what the effects of doing certain things. I am no body and I think we don’t need designations to the good things. – Teachers play a great role in the of the country.
If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher. Teachers help us to become high-quality professionals. Only professionally qualified people produce quality services and products.
Which play the huge role in the economic development of the country. There are often you see the bad customer support, cheap quality products, dishonesty cases with customers.
These are really very bad people. Even politicians, movie stars support these people. We can’t change these people today. But we can lead and guide coming generation on the right path. The right path is where customers are not cheated.
Where good products are endorsed by good people. It’s tough even after giving a certificate of honesty. We are influenced by some group of people to the wrong direction.
We need to understand that what is good for us along with society. Never make your decision inspired by politically people, never make decision-based on news channel or politically inspired dialogues.
We need to analyze facts and figures before taking a decision even before giving votes. Also, our election commission or authorities also need to test political leaders before giving them the ticket or authority to fight the election. It’s ok that I don’t have enough knowledge yet about such things.
But today we all need good people in our government, businesses and in jobs. These people are not coming from another planet. All are coming from schools and colleges after taking degrees. Degrees are not a guarantee that someone is educated and know better than without degree people. Yes, education matter. But I think only practical education can develop the country.
So, for in the economic development, we need people who can take a risk and who are confident to start a business. Who can create new and innovate down market to a new level? This is not possible without getting lessons from expert teachers. Teachers teach students by real-time examples. Teachers can modify and change the world. That’s why governments and especially Indian government should invest more money and allocate more budgets on education and high-quality professional teachers and education infrastructure in schools. Why teachers are great role models in individual’s life Educationists should build the capacities of the spirit of inquiry, creativity, entrepreneurial and moral leadership among students and become their.
A teacher helps to become a great leader. Great leaders build a nation. Leaders play a huge role in the personal development of an individual. Great leaders inspire thousands of people to go into the right direction. Great leaders learned and followed the path provided to them by a teacher in schools and college times.
Almost all good leaders will agree that they have learned valuable organization skills, personal development skills from teachers. These skills helped them to reach where they are today. They used their creativity in the right direction. Some students are great. Not because they are born with greatness but because teachers helped them to become what they are today. That’s why teachers are great human beings who know about the future.
A student is like soft clay in the hands of his teachers. Students mind can be mounded into any shape in tender age.
If taught well by his teacher he can become an important tool for the society. If taught wrong he can become a weapon of destruction. We have an example today we often see on the news channels. A good teacher attitude reflects upon the students easily.
Why, because students meet teacher every day for many years and replicate his mannerism and habits. But not all colleges and teachers are good to increase the moral values of students. Few colleges and teachers just teaching for money and students are directed to earn money. These kinds of salary lover teachers drive the career of students in the wrong path. Some of the students from such teachers got the job by the approach of minister and influencers.
This kind of teachers produces corrupt leaders, doctors, and bureaucrats. But good students and well sanskari one’s, honest students and intelligent getting job and starting a business after studying from such great principled teachers. That’s why it’s really important to handover your child in a school where the teachers are great, professionally, personally and in social behaviors. Importance of Teachers in India Only teachers can develop nations no one else, everything else will destructive creativity. Even technology development and advanced technologies are destructive for nature. Technologies are creating new natural resources it’s because today’s education especially content observation on the Internet is technical. Positive creativity and development that is nature-friendly only possible by teachers.
It’s because when practical teachers teach they explore and teach you about the connection of our life with nature. As I already told various times on my articles that we are the part of nature. Humans are the part of nature. Nature, trees, plants, soil, water, animals and birds and all other natural resources that unfortunately we treat badly are our families. But who teach and explore these things in children’s/students mind to think about it other than real and practical teachers? Is it social media, paid media or politicians?
But today teachers are fighting with technologies, government policies, and social media and they have to fight. Student’s minds are creativity they understand and implement things better adults. That’s why it’s important to allow teachers to implement and explore creativity in students mind for a better world. Also, our all private and government teachers need career and income security from the government. It’s because they can’t teach effectively students if they are worried about money, poor financial conditions.
Then it’s tough for them to teach creatively and practically to students. That’s why I think it’s really important for any nations that they provide enough facilities and focused and consistent educational development works for teachers. Today, we need to respect teachers and need to appreciate their good efforts. Teachers need security and safety from the government.
Teachers want maximum infrastructure to educate students. We need to follow the lessons and spread more about good teachers verbally. It’s tough to explain a life of teacher but we can help them by appreciating and giving them the gift of by becoming good human being. What do you think?
