How to be a Great Teacher?
“It
requires a lot of courage to become an educator as it is not for everybody. If
a parent is unworthy, children are spoiled; if a doctor neglects duty, the
patient dies; if an engineer performs poorly, the infrastructure collapses; and
if an educator makes a mistake, an entire generation is ruined.” ―Professor M.
S. Rao
Teaching
is a service. Teaching is a sacred profession. Teaching is the mother of all
professions. Teachers must be passionate about their profession and teach their
students with passion. It is an opportunity to inspire students and make students
as good citizens and great leaders.
As
a teacher, you must teach your students with passion. You must walk your talk.
You must be creative. You must research a lot to stay ahead of students because
students are much smarter due to accessibility to technology. You must share
your knowledge with examples and illustrations. Teach beyond subjects also, if
possible. Identify the gems in students and enlighten them. remember that
teachers are gemmologists.
In
my case, I encourage students. I write a quote on the whiteboard before I teach
in the classroom.
Keep
concepts and simple and clear. Break complex concepts into small topics and
share each small topic with examples. Question students to check their
attention. Engage them effectively. Use your sense of humor. Repetition is key.
Share the core ideas three times because you find three types of students in
your classroom―below average, average, and above-average. So, you must reach
out to all students with different intelligence levels. Ask students to repeat
the key ideas and insights.
Takeaway:
The future of a country depends on the students and the future of students
depends on the teachers. So, be a passionate and responsible teacher.
