Parents give the
birth, where as, it is only the teacher who sculptures the life of the student.
That's why, teacher is also known as the second parent and school is known as
second home. The country's growth and prosperity is directly related to the
noble, dedicated teacher of the country. A noble teacher is a precious gift to that
country, because parents just look after their own children, whereas, the noble
teacher nurtures thousands of children in his lifetime, who inspires and guides
the students lives, for the prosperity and the growth of the nation. So, a
noble teacher's life is invaluable to his students, to the society, to the
country, as well as to the entire wide world. To become an ever inspiring noble
teacher, here are some precious motivating awareness tips, to prove "A
noble teacher is worth a thousand priests."
TEACHING AWARENESS
TIPS: Organization of a
lesson is of utmost important, whether you are doing an activity, or a lesson
on a topic; you need to organize your ideas. Careful planning takes time and
effort. *Pupils need to see the purpose of the lesson. They need to want to
follow you. Preview what they will be doing during the lesson. *Prepare your
pupil for number of examples they can expect, or are going to work through. *Be
prepared to repeat explanations. *Device methodology whereupon a student can
admit they do not understand and you can deal with it later. *Follow up what
you do within the classroom with meaningful homework. *Never assign homework
without being familiar with every problem is given. The homework needs to
reflect what is done in the class. *Mention names and ask questions. *Tell
stories, but always make them short and relate them to lesson. * Be aware that
children will try to lead you away from a topic. Avoid a lesson 'going off the
rails' by the students being over enthusiastic. *Remember the strong point is
to always get back to the topic. *The main goal of a teacher is to help the
youth to develop a positive social behavior, such as self-discipline,
responsibility, good judgment, and ability to get along with others, to resist
negative pressure and learn to live a healthy life, free of drugs. *Being
observant and listener is important. *If they ask questions, probe which part
of the lesson they don't understand. *Check periodically, whether you are heard
to the last bench. *Good teachers anticipate their problems and clear them up
in the class. *Make yourself crystal clear on all points and your pupils will
reward you with clarity in their responses. *Have activities planned to fill
your lesson. Judgment of time if often a major difficulty for new teacher.
*When the students leave your class, they should leave with a sense of
fulfillment and wonder. *Remember, the success of your lesson is in your hands
alone.
CLASS ROOM MANAGEMENT
AWARENESS TIPS: *Often, class room
management is misunderstood to, simply mean controlling and silencing noise
makers, where as, it involves managing difficult students, disinterested,
indifferent, average and brilliant students. *The fact is that, it is more
difficult to manage brilliant students, than other categories. *The balancing
act involves class room management, presence of mind, positive, spontaneous and
humorous approach, tactfully which can be attained with skills, experience and
maturity. *Teacher should not try to escape from the questions on one pretexts
or the other.
PRESENTATION AWARENESS
TIPS: You should remember,
the students whom you teach, for they alone are the measure of your
success.*Your own excellence is good only, when it helps your students.
*Consider the purpose of your teaching and show the student a goal, as far
ahead as you both can see. *Accept him as he is, and approve him as you can,
the student is guided by intellect, but driven by emotion, to complain is
futile and to ignore his motive is to fail. *Show him the real world of fact
for interest and the ideal world of theory for understanding, each illuminate
the other. *Relate new thought to what the students know, for this is how he
learns, lead him from the known to the unknown. *Repeat and repeat, yet never
the same; let each idea be seen few times in different lights. *Let the student
work, for work is remembered long, after words are forgotten. *Hearing is weak;
seeing is better; doing is best. *Let the student seek, lead him to discoveries
of his own, and those will be his choice jewels of knowledge.
INSPIRING AWARENSS
TIPS: *Know thoroughly the
subject that you teach, and where it leads; present it with interest and
enthusiasm. *Try your best to live up to moral standards, so that you are a
good example to the students by their very action. *Have practical ideas and
convictions and put them into action regardless of consequences. *Take interest
in each student and his/her social background, so as to be able to help each,
as much as he/she can. *Be loyal to the school and the children. *Go to class
well prepared and well informed. *Be considerate, understanding, approachable.
*Teacher should be not to sacrifice difficult students, but to drag them with
positive mind into the main stream. *Possess patriotic qualities and promote in
the children a feeling of national spirit. *Be aware of the social problems and
encourage the children to take an active part in solving them. *Aim to inspire
your students with your organization, care and professionalism. *A noble
teacher should teach his students, that it is more honorable to fail than to
cheat, have faith in his own ideas even if others tell him they are wrong, to
listen to all and to filter and to follow the truth and good, to be courageous
to face difficult situations with self confidence, to teach him the value of
hard work, to face the realities of life, to fight, if he thinks he is right.
*Be humble enough to seek the advice and help his/her colleagues. *Acknowledge
your mistakes and failures and learn from them. *Be friendly, self-confident,
and punctual. *Acquire latest knowledge and newer skills in teaching.
DISCIPLINE AWARENESS
TIPS: *Deal with daily
difficulties and problems with optimism and a pleasant, but courageous
approach. *When children suffer physical or mental abuse they are left scarred
for life. Children should be treated gently, but firmly. Discipline comes
through inculcating values and not with the stick. *Be friendly, pleasant, and
fair with students. *Use non-violent attitude correction techniques that are
fun, yet corrective for erring students. *Keep discipline in the class but
never get angry. * Should not act like a military commander, but should
leverage the discipline in reasonable proportion.
POSITIVE ATTITUDE
AWARENESS TIPS: *Learn to adapt as
you try to get along work with different people, and their attitudes. *Try to
listen with attention and patience. *If you feel like criticizing someone, do
it positively and constructively, without hurting their feelings. Tell them how
they can improve. Don't tell them what they did was wrong, but just focus on
what they can do better. *Keep your voice and tone soft, steady, and with a
touch of concern in it. *You should keep yourself abreast of development in his
field. *Teacher may acquire Rectifying Units by engaging himself in a
combination of a few activities such as: approved self-study, attending
workshops, seminars, lectures, writing or presenting technical papers on
subjects of relevance, undertaking distance education and so on. *They should
be given all encouragement to update their knowledge and skills through
self-study, internal or external seminars or workshop or lectures. *Teaching
has to be effective and help students face challenges of life better. *Give
life the best you have, and the best will come back to you. *Be positive and
highlight the good you see in others. *Bring in good news more often, than bad
news. *It is humiliating to admit that you do not understand - in fact, it need
to be seen as a positive action. Developing this type of inter-action is one of
the most important qualities, a good teacher can possess. . *Try not to lose
control when faced with awkward questions. *If you are not ready to deal with
question, admit it and get on with your lesson plan. *Reward the pupil when
they speak out in the class, and encourage those, who are shy to speak. *Admit
your failure if you unable to reach a conclusion and you will find that, the
pupils will admire you for that.
DUTY AWARENESS TIPS: *The duty of a teacher is not just transfer
of knowledge to the students. He is invisible, precious all in one. He is
advisor to the seeker, great booster to the weak, character builder to the
characterless, dependable evaluator, friend for needy, guide for the doubt
seekers, healer for the insecured, inspirer for the creative, judge of their
growth, influencing leader, great motivator, right nurturer, second parent,
real role model, supporter, target fixer and high visionary. * The biggest
mistake is to assume that you know everything. The task of education is not
merely that of turning out first-rate technicians and scientists, but even more
urgently and basically, it is the task of training good men and women. *We must
strive to make children learn to prefer co-operative effort, to self-seeking
competition, joy of creative work to possessive happiness. *Motivation had to
become an effect and not a cause. When teachers do all thinking and speaking,
it cuts the students off from 'lateral thinking' which is the most important
skill, that is necessary for learning. * Learn to judge when children cannot
proceed further. *Let us preach to children the importance of non-violence,
tolerance and simple-life. *A teacher who has a genuine love for students, can
deal with many problems, which even intelligence and psychological insight may
not be able to solve.
GENERAL AWARENESS TIPS: Each working day, enter the school with a
pleasant look on your face, and leave school at the end of the day, with the
same pleasant look. *Greet the gate security and menial staff cheerfully.
*Don't discriminate anybody on any basis. *Make everyone in your life, feel
genuinely important to you. *Develop a neat handwriting. *Remember clarity,
proper body language will add to the quality of teaching. *Use elegant introduction,
reasonable summary and effective pauses, to make teaching interesting. *When
you make a mistake in the class, laugh at yourself. HEARTY INVITATION TO THE
