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.
