A LOVE TO TEACH - A LOVE TO LEARN

     The concept of teaching as a profession is always associated with how a teacher is giving his or her quality time to a noble chosen career. It is life for an energetic teacher who prepares a plan for the next day, who imparts what he or she has in mind to the children and adolescents alike, who checks a number of homework and who marks the tests given after his or lesson is taught. On the contrary as a fair compact, it is the life of an individual put into the hands of an educator. The children, in most cases, trust their teachers more than they trust their parents and they believe in what their teachers say. Teachers have the most powerful part in honing a child’s behavior. That is why obviously, at home, the child speaks of “these and those” of a teacher. What a teacher says, the child does it, brings it back to the house and speaks about it most of the time.
     Being able to cope with the demands of globalization and fast growing societies in the world, I have been teaching for 24 years. I have come across different levels of learners ranging from toddlers to adults. The fact that education is a continuous process is very real in every dimension of a human being. At this time, teaching is never fading for as long as there is an individual who would want to learn, as long as there’s a child who loves to learn and as long as there are people who hunger for more wisdom and changes. This is the essence of education.
     In teaching, a teacher is like a torch which always glows in the dark. It means to say that, a teacher has to continue to learn ten steps ahead of his or her students. However, the law of nature when it comes to limitation of knowledge is a natural principle in education; a teacher should open his or her heart to the new ideas of students who are exposed to global issues, technology and changes. In this instance, learning becomes a two-way process: a teacher learns from students and students learn from a teacher. Gone are the days when teachers were considered as fountain of knowledge; that is already an outlandish idea.
     Nowadays, teaching as a vocation is equitably and squarely affected by many modern concepts and theories in order to meet the needs of the new generation. The chalk-talk and theory exposition are but having small chances to effectively impart a topic. To imagine what a teacher says is creating a big trouble in the young mind of a child. Therefore, all manners of technological advancements are brought into the classrooms so that the teachers find a means to utilize those which make teaching easier than before. We see that a teacher is like a sponge absorbing the blows of educational changes and expectations of the community. They are comparable to tall bamboos swaying through the “swish-swash” of the wind to find directions. Directions as applied in education perse are those that will generate good outcomes in the midst of flexibility and adaptation in addition to school’s vision and mission.
     The creation of this blog site, TEACHERSACADEMIA, is primarily addressing the needs of teachers in the light of selecting strategies in teaching and lesson planning. This is also an informative board which will offer teachers tips how to handle classroom outward behavior of children and adolescents, how to motivate them to learn more and how to become a successful teacher. Remember that there is no perfect teacher but there can be the most effective and influential “teacher” in a teacher.
