We are all well aware that learning is one thing and teaching is something else. While we know how difficult it is to teach anything, we often ignore it.
I love the saying that education is a ball gown we wear to join the fun of life, because I feel it is sincere and inspiring, it touches and reminds me of something.
At any point in my life, I thankfully remember and thank all the people who have made the effort and courage to teach me and still try to keep it going. And I totally agree that teaching someone something is also the most noble and most productive goal anyone can have.
The art of learning to teach
Being a good educator is by mixing many various ingredients and getting a magical formula. Teaching requires complete control over many skills and many competencies. Let's look at some of them together;
Taking care of life and the world
The main impulse for teaching goes beyond the limits of pedagogy; this situation is more of a personal thing. It is to be interested in and involved in educating the hearts and emotions.
A good teaching method is the kind that follows you forever, leaves a mark in your life, makes you question, and provides doubts that inspire learning. This method is based only on one foundation: the interest and concern of those who educate others for a good life.
Falling in love with books and reading
Admiring all objects that are responsible for spreading knowledge, an unrequited love for books and the unique sense of happiness that exists within them.
Your love for your students
Whether a child or an adult; It is very important for a person who dares and strives to teach someone something, to love every aspect of each individual they have to help learn. Good teachers can do this, although they cannot express exactly how they do it.
Controlling your emotions
Before you teach someone to read, they say, teach them the value of what they have. Teachers put themselves in the shoes of their students, try to identify the emotions they have, and use it only for one purpose: to grow and develop the student, and to bring their hopes and dreams to life.
Teachers have great skills in transforming anger and despair into peace, wisdom, perseverance and energy. In other words, what really matters is the sum of what was taught and how it was taught.
The more we try to learn every day to educate our children; Teachers, on the other hand, can sometimes be happy and sometimes in an unhappy mood when they go to work from home every day.
To say that teachers do only teach would be belittling their profession. A good teacher is a teacher who is always looking for new things; It is the one who not only teaches, but also stimulates our memory, intelligence, sensitivity and imagination. A good teacher is someone who moves our minds and shows us the importance of patience.
