I believe that every child needs to educate and undergo a process of discipline in able to survive living in this world. The teacher must recognize first how her job affects the child, the community and the future generation of the society – that teaching is a vocation, a mission and a profession.
I believe that every child who goes in school deserved to be given the right education that a teacher can give. Supplying intellectual activities and opportunities for them to learn and develop their skills and talents. I believe that every child should be respected and be talked like adults but cared like a fragile vase. Children are like miniature adults, they should learn how to talked and speak words accurately and not baby talked them since they are still young and their brain is like a sponge that absorb whatever information they got from adults they trusted. In able to teach them the right one a teacher must do, act and say what is right for they saw their teacher as their model.
I believe that children’s suggestions must be listened and heard to have an open and equal learning environment for both the teacher and the children. Teaching is a continuous learning and it evolves regularly, the teacher must seek and open for new learning and information that the society is giving. Flexible, approachable, patient and open minded are the attributes that will really help a teacher in adopting changes in her classroom and society. In resolving conflicts in the class and setting up rules, children must be part of it since the policies are for them and it will be easy for them to remember the rules if they are the once who made and agreed on it.
Children must not be forced nor threatened for learning because they have different pace of acquiring knowledge; the interests of the pupil must be the center for learning. Every individual is unique in different ways, we have our own likes and dislikes and we have our own reasons why and so it is like when a child is learning, they have their own way of learning best and so they should not be forced if they are not ready to learn something because it will just be wasted, it will not strongly remain in their heads what the teacher have taught on them if they are not ready and interested to learn. Patience is working best in this situation. Wait for the child to be ready to listen and learn and expect effective learning from it.
Pupil’s outputs should be evaluate well through setting criteria and for giving well assessed questionnaires and examinations to give justice on their efforts in listening and studying the lessons. Letting the children know your standard is also important so that they know how you will grade them and know what they will do. Having appropriate strategies in discussion is also important so that the pupils will have a better understanding about the topic. Providing tactile materials rather than providing black and white pictures in the discussion will make the learning more real since the child will not have a hard time in imagining the things that the teacher is describing.
A teacher must be a good role model of positivity, good morals and has the unbeatable energy when discussing her lessons. Teaching good values to the children is also important so that they will have grounds in doing what is good and right for them and for everybody. Producing a student that is intelligent with good values is what the most fulfilling for teachers. A teacher must not forget that children saw them as their knight in the shining armor aside from their parents and there are times that they tend to believe and take the side of their teachers rather than their parents so it only shows that teachers has a great impact on the lives of his/her children. A teacher must be cautious on his/her actions because the young ones might do what she/he sees regardless if it is wrong.
I believe that a teacher must always be a teacher whether inside or outside of the school; she keeps on teaching, inspiring and guiding one’s life to a brighter side of living through his/her actions and words and with this a teacher will never fails the experience of his/her students every single day.
