There are many people who sees teachers in different light. Some people says that teachers are heroes, a second parent or a good friend. But as for my own opinion and advices as a future teacher, i think the following things can guide me to be a good teacher in the near future.
A great teacher can joke with students. A teacher that have a carefree aura makes the children to be at ease with them. If you can joke and mingle with students without crossing the barriers of a respectful relationship, their walls that surrounds them will slowly break down and they can easily speak with you about their difficulties and achievements.
A great teacher is devoted to learners improvements. A teacher should devote herself to the improvement of the learner. No matter how slow they are, we should properly guide them in order for them to step forward. To be patient as the we explain to them the lessons they should learn and wait until they gave their positive responses. Baby steps are still a steps that helps them to move forward, slowly but surely. Seeing them learning and improving makes your hardships worthwile.
A great teacher can understand her students interest and personality. A teacher should pay attention to her students interest and personality. By understanding their personalities, we can know the reasons behind their actions no matter how insignificant it is. Sometimes their words are contradicting to what they are doing. They have their own way of communicating so in order for us to understand them we must pay attention to their interest in order to help the learners to open up.
A great teacher can talk and be open with the students parents. A great teacher has also a good relationships with the parents. The good relationship that build between you and the student's parent is a symbol of trust that the parents trust the teacher for their child's education. Talking and discussing with them about their child activities gave them an assurance that their children is in good hands. And the parents are willing to help for the betterment of their child.
A great teacher is amicable. No matter where you are, and who you are with, i believe that a teacher should always wear a beautiful smile and have a good relationship with other people. A teacher should be a peacemaker not a troublemaker. Showing our amicable side is a sign of humility in order for students to find us reachable when they are having difficulties.
A great teacher have a soft heart but have a bold spirit. A teacher should have a soft heart that melts and touches a student affection and bold spirit that makes the students admire and look up to them. The soft heart of the teacher break down the walls of the students and the bold spirit of the teacher that makes the students to gather their courage and self confidence as they admire their teachers.
A great teacher is a good listener. A good teachers listen to all problems, rants, complaints, and praises of the students. In order for the teacher to know what to respond towards the students and help them in their circumstances. And to know how to compromise to the situation of the students.
A great teacher have faith towards her students. Having you faith and trust towards your student helps them to gather courage and self confidence that they didn't think they have in the first place. The pride that someone trust their skills and abilities makes them to do their best to prove to us that they can make it through hard work. And they do not want to waste the trust that we gave to them
A great teacher can be weak. A teacher is still a person and a human. We have flaws and imperfections. We can never always done things perfectly. As the students see the teachers imperfections, the tensions they felt can be at ease as they realize that there is nothing to be afraid of. They can easily open up and inquire questions about the things they experienced and share with the teachers about their life stories. With this manner, the gap between the teacher and students will lessen as they found themselves comfortable with us.
A great teacher is a God fearing. No matter what great achievements teachers achieve, they are still human. We can never control and force the learning towards the children. We cant always help every students to their problems and circumstances. But we have God that we can trust who will do all things dor them if we do His will. We can pray and let God be God to do His things after we do our best towards to our students.
