Dear Editor,
Rightly said that teachers have Great Role in giving us filmmakers, astronauts, and entrepreneurs. Without teachers, we wouldn’t have the internet. Youths are the nation’s future, and teachers are the creators of this nation. But, What qualities does a teacher have that impacts the students.
Generally, a teacher may be a primary school teacher or college professor is a person who helps students to acquire knowledge and competence, and properties through the practice of teaching.
However, being a teacher is much more than only giving away knowledge, lectures, and attending classes. Since ancient times, teachers have been considered a symbol of truth, beauty, and purity. Ancient India valued teachers highly for their selfless high learning, morality and tireless efforts. I have seen this as my father was also in this profession and now retired as Headmaster.
Teachers are the ones who help students to see reality as it is. In the modern age, teachers help students to make academic decisions that will guide them toward success in their future careers.
A good teacher impacts everything from classroom learning to long-term success to make a world of difference in a student’s life. And for that, a teacher must have the following characteristics:
Good Teachers are strong communicators: By communicating with students at the beginning of the year about their hobbies and future careers, they can provide a supportive learning method.
Good Teachers are good listeners: Teachers are skilled in listening and observing and can help build skills and confidence in students.
Good Teachers focus on collaboration: Working as a teacher means working in groups and developing creative ideas.
Good Teachers are adaptable: Teachers must adjust their teaching according to students’ mental capacities and work in an engaging environment.
Good Teachers are engaging: Students must be able to engage students with humor and creative lessons, and a strong classroom presence is an essential part of what makes someone a good teacher.
Good Teachers are empathetic: Teachers must understand what is going on in their student’s life.
Good Teachers have patience: The patience of an educator is tested at every level of teaching.
Teachers have a remarkable impact on students’ lives. They are crucial in shaping the character of students. Good Teachers demonstrate and illustrate and shape the personality of their students.Provide the right advice to students: teachers now guide students to make significant academic decisions that will guide them toward success in their future careers. They also work with high school students to offer advice and courses they should take to take the entrance exams, apply for the desired colleges and universities, etc.
Works as a leader: Teachers also transfer the skills that will be helpful to students in their personal life. They guide students towards becoming leaders and out of their comfort zone to achieve tremendous success.
Above all a great teacher inspires generations to come.
