What does it mean to be a good teacher
You know that there are a lot of
people who want to be teachers. If you are planning to become a teacher it is
not enough just to want to become a teacher. You have to think a lot before making
this decision because it is not so easy to teach in school. You might face a
lot of problems there. So that is why you have to feel a passion for teaching. You
should know that a good teacher should be a person who has a lot of good
qualities such as organisation, professionality, the passion for his job.
Firstly, a real teacher is a person
who feels a passion for teaching. It is not enough to to know a lot about the
subject. A devoted person for his job actively participates in everything what
surrounds him. It includes relationship with pupils, after school activities
and of course the subject. I am sure that good teachers love their pupils and
they behave with them very well. If you want to be a perfect teacher you have
to love your job. If you adore your job then you will love everything what is dealt
with it.
Secondly, teachers must have good
qualities. They have to be self-confident, curious, creative. They have to be
able to control the class, to attract pupils‘ attention and to teach using
different kinds of methods. Besides, teachers have to be interested in their
pupils‘ interests. A communication between teacher and children is very
important. It makes close relationships between them and this allows pupil to feel
free and not to be under pressure to say their opinion and actively participate
in a lesson. Moreover, teachers have to keep in touch with their pupils when
the classes are finished\ended.
Thirdly, it is not a secret that
teachers have to be well prepared with their subjects. If people want to be
teachers they have to know a lot of things about their subject which they are
going to teach. Also, they have to do their best in all lessons. The teacher
should be prepared for every lesson so that the lesson would be organised. A
good teacher should know methods how to attract pupils‘ attention to the
subject. Also, teachers have to explain everything what pupils are asking, give
them examples and explain it for several times.
In conclusion I would like to say
that the most important thing before becoming a teacher is to think a lot
before making this decision. If you are a teacher already, you do not have to
forget that teaching requires a lot of things to be done. So teacher always
should improve herself and develop her subject. Everything will work without
big efforts if you are a tacher who feel passion for teaching.
