HOW TO BE A GOOD TEACHER?

         

A perfect teacher

Every single individual in our society is aware of this word. This word is not just a word but carries along the responsibility to build a life, to give it a proper shape and show the correct path of life.It is not only the noble work among all in the society but also plays a vital role where no mistakes can be accepted. After our parents, teachers are the only ones who structure the life of a person .

However with the span of time where everything has changed drastically, ways of teaching have also changed. In Hindu mythology ,where teacher has been given the biggest priority of the world with‘shlock's and mantras’(Hindus’ devotional prayers) and compared with the God by saying that teacher is bigger than all Gods, at the same time today teacher has become more like a friend .It is mostly seen that teachers who behave more friendly with their students and try to convey knowledge putting themselves in the shoes of the students has succeeded more than anybody else.

        

Ways to deal students

While talking to their students, one thing should always be kept in mind by the teachers that after the parents at home,teachers become the first body of idle in the life of the students.So only good examples should be set in and every student should be treated equally so that their life is not only structured but structured at a correct level like in a case of a mother who does not differentiate her kids irrespective of a ugly or beautiful child. .The same way no student should be super special for a teacher rather it’s the responsibility of the teacher to make every single kid super special in their own manner. For a teacher, it is very important to understand that everybody cannot be same and has their own qualities so grooming them for the best does not remain an easy task any longer.

While talking to the students the teachers should not only think of making them understandable but should also understand the outlook of a student and his/her grasping power to acquire the effect of teaching.

When teachers talk to their students they should talk in a very confident, polite and a disciplined way so that the students always respect them. Being a teacher,they should have a great level of patience and always should construct words while speaking in more understanding way rather than scolding or beating the students.We should always remember that respect comes from the action we perform and cannot be taken forcefully from anyone. They need to act just like a mother who always thinks of her kids and wishes of their well being.

There are also instances found where teachers also loves to be praised and enjoys the complaints against other teachers. .It should be kept in mind as well that encouraging students to speak against other teachers in front of you can cause the level of respect to go down in the heart of the students which is not a good sign. Thus being a teacher, it should always be avoided that any wrong message is conveyed to the students by a teacher or students should have the thinking of taking out and highlighting mistakes by making fun of a teacher in front of the other teacher.

It should also be taken into consideration that in your class if the students are making noise and are going out of control, the mistake does not only lie upon the students but it should be understood that somewhere or the other the teacher has failed to connect or deal the students or has lacked in teaching them due to which concentration of the students was missing. Punishments should not always remain a key point or weapon of a teacher because at some point of time when this is often used, students loose fear for the teacher and respect as well. So patience and making your lessons more interesting and full of knowledge makes study more useful and interesting for the students. In higher classes, it is always seen that when a teacher becomes friendly and not only interacts with students with the sentences in the book but goes beyond and behave like a friend, the interest of the student increases in those subjects and they also remain under control. Just like different faces of growth in human we should also be aware about the changes in the thought process of the students with their growing age.

            

Communication between parents and teacher

Communication on both sides is extremely important. The parents need information about what and how their child is learning, and the teacher needs important feed back from the parent about the child's academic and social development, as well they need to view the child from a parent's perspective. Parents should also inform the teacher about behavioral changes at home.

Summary

There can be only examples and ways to teach but the main responsibility lies only upon the shoulders of the teachers and it is never an easy task. Nobody can never teach you how to become a good teacher but can only add to the qualities.

Concluding Remarks

In my personal opinion, what makes a good teacher is to be alert to the necessities of the students and be able to bring proper solutions, a good teacher must be understanding and be able to inspire confidence, someone you can rely on and be willing to learn new thing to improve her or his teaching.

A good teacher needs to provide feedback to students. Besides that a good teacher, of course, has to be humorous, friendly (but not too friendly), and well prepared for the lessons. And it is important for a teacher to find the right way between passion for his subject and the interests of the class.
