“A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind,
and touches a heart.” ― Anonymous
Every educator intends to teach
effectively in the classroom. However, their teaching pedagogy and styles are
different. Some educators teach by
reading the academic text books. Some educators teach by reading academic books
and referring more number of books to share their knowledge with students. Some
educators teach by reading academic and reference books and sharing their ideas
and insights and experience. However,
there are a very few educators who go out of the way by thinking round the
clock about their students and sharing their knowledge, experience, ideas and
insights and to inspire students. Such educators leave everlasting impression
in the minds and hearts of their students. In fact, students prefer listening
to lectures from such inspiring educators.
Nowadays, students are more
intelligent than educators globally. They are well informed and equipped with
technology. The present generation of educators are not technologically savvy.
But the young generation of students are technologically savvy. Currently the
difference between the educators and students is that educators have immense knowledge
and experience whereas students don’t have knowledge and experience of
particular disciplines. Hence, students attend teaching sessions to acquire
knowledge and experience from their educators with very high expectations.
Hence, the educators must understand the aspirations and expectations of the
present generation of students and rise up to their expectations to ensure effective
takeaways.
Characteristics
of Inspiring Educators
"We should learn something and
teach something every day of our lives." ― Denis Waitley
Inspiring educators step into the
shoes of their students to understand the challenges. They enhance focus in their
students and help students dream big. They create spark in their students. They
convert their students as better personalities. They inspire and reform the
students with negative attitude through counseling. They build positive
attitude in students and change the mindset.
Inspiring educators challenge their
students to think unconventionally and create excitement about learning. They
help students unlock their hidden potential.
They explore and experiment new teaching and learning styles. They research a lot to add value to their
existing knowledge. They often think about their students. Precisely, they are
very passionate to make a difference in the lives of their students.
Conclusion
The ordinary educators build
confidence in their students while the extraordinary educators build confidence
to enhance contribution to build a better society and world.
The digital technology has changed the
face of the world. The educators must reinvent as per the changing times and
technologies to update their knowledge to stay relevant and competent to win
respect from their students. To
conclude, any educator can share their knowledge but only a few passionate
educators share beyond their knowledge and experience to influence, impact and
inspire students. India needs such
inspiring educators to groom students as great personalities and leaders.
"Let us think of education as the
means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a
private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for
everyone and greater strength of the nation." ― John F. Kennedy
