Introduction[/b]
Education is the key to success in life and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students. Teaching is the greatest test of optimism. Great teachers focus not on compliance, but on connections and relationships. It is the little conversations that build the relationships and make an impact on each student. The best teacher teaches from the heart-not from the text book. The day you are willing to veer off the Lesson plan, follow a student’s lead and learn with your students is the day you really become a TEACHER! Those who LEARN more than they can TEACH are the best TEACHERS of all. They don’t care how you know until they know how much you care. The teacher’s goal is simple to help the students reach theirs.
Teachers Play a Tough Balancing Act
I love working with the students of today. I call my students “my children” because in our time together they are not just names on the Attendance list, they become a part of my heart. Their energy and enthusiasm is contagious, and working with them truly does help to keep me young. I am certain that I learn as much from them as they do from me. Older generations are notorious for complaining about younger generations: “In my day we never would have . . .” But I must compliment this generation for being so accomplished, for their ability to multitask and to adapt to new technologies. I am impressed.
To me, this generation of students is different for two primary reasons: technology and closer family relationships. The technological advances of the past several years have been substantial. Today’s students grew up with the Internet, computers and cell phones prevalent in all aspects of their lives. They embrace new technologies and adapt faster than their predecessors.
In a classroom full of students with different learning abilities, the teacher faces a formidable challenge -- how to teach each child to his or her maximum potential. While some children in the class may find the lesson too mundane or boring, if it is "dumbed down," other children may find it difficult to cope with difficult concepts. So how does a teacher teach at an optimum level, such that both sets of extreme learning abilities are nurtured?
Who Is a Good Teacher?
A good teacher plays the role of an educator, guide, inspirational guru, and a friend. While gently nudging the 'slow learners' to climb the steep learning curve, she engages with the 'bright minds' to delve deeper into concepts and thereby meet their need to be ahead of others.
Teachers tap the fertile mind of young children and plant the seed of curiosity in them. This inculcates the values of self-learning, exploration, and philosophical inquiry. I have seen many young children who took the spark of imagination to unimaginable heights. I have known little origami enthusiasts to grow up to become engineers of cutting edge technology. I have met kids suffering from dyslexia who grew up and became famous surgeons. Who, other than a great teacher, could have been instrumental in this phenomenal rise?
The teachers should not try to fix students, they should fix themselves first.The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior.When our students fail,we as teachers, too have failed.Why should a student show an interest in our classes if we do not show an interest in them?Show them you care.Student relationships must come first.relationships with students extend far beyond the class rooms.The strength of our student relationships makes the difference in translating our passion for teaching into their passion for learning.
Teachers and Students Relationships[/b]
The present day Students are nothing if not impressive. The admissions requirements have become so stringent that every student is quite accomplished, not only in terms of academics but also in terms of athletics, performing arts and humanitarian efforts. So accomplished, in fact, that some faculty members, including me, sometimes wonder how we are teaching at the University that would not have admitted us.
While some students are the best and brightest in this country, they still deal with the same issues of transitioning to a college environment and managing their time among all the opportunities and distractions. Sometimes faculty members forget that just because the students are accomplished does not mean that they aren’t struggling with various choices.
Speaking of choices, the college years have been referred to as a time of emerging adulthood and a time of both exploration and commitment. As educators we need to encourage exploration as a means of helping students to make independent decisions for the future, to make a commitment. We hope they will develop these abilities during their time with us. They are the future leaders of this country, and we want to encourage and enable their passion and ingenuity.
The teacher needs to understand that in many schools, especially in big cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, etc. children come from different cultures and backgrounds. A teacher then needs to understand the value of the students' senses of belonging, which can be of greater value and build self worth for minority students as well as students from diverse states such as the North Eastern states, Bihar, Orissa,etc.. If the teacher demonstrates an understanding of the student’s culture, it will provide a better understanding between the teacher and the student.
Therefore, those teachers who demonstrate respect towards their students, automatically win favor by having active learners in their classroom. The arrogant or offensive teacher will lack these positive qualities due to his or her lack of control over the children. Teachers should assert that they should also be treated with respect and their responsibilities to ensure that students treat each other with kindness.
Why are Teachers and Students Relationships important?[/b]
Student teacher relationships are very important. When I was researching about Student teacher relationships and student learning outcomes the question how do Student teacher relationships have an impact on student learning outcomes emerged. Research has found that there is a link between Student teacher relationships and student learning outcomes.
Students that have positive relationships with their teachers have been found to be highly motivated ,focused on their task,and have greater overall learning outcomes.the strength of our student relationships makes the difference in translating our passion for teaching into their passion for learning.
Therefore, how does a teacher hold a relationship that leads to effectively teach the
children? The answer becomes clear when teachers interact with, and learn more about
their students. Our first educational experience, which takes place in the primary years
of our life, sets the principles for our future education. Every school year an elementary
teacher deals with new faces and new attitudes. Some children find themselves lacking
an interest in learning and others feel playing and fooling around at school with friends is
the happiest moment of their life. The solution to inappropriate behavior will not
automatically get rid of the poor attitude of these children, but is to establish a positive
relationship. Teachers can establish a positive relationship with their students by
communicating with them and properly providing feedback to them. Respect between
teacher and student with both feeling enthusiastic when learning and teaching. Having
established a positive relationship with students will encourage students to seek
education and be enthusiastic and to be in school. Remembering our favorite teacher
will be recognized because they had at least in one way or another the qualities I
discussed in this essay, although we are not aware of it during the time we are in
school, but teachers are well recognized at a later time of our lives.
You Owe Your Success to Your Teachers
All that I have achieved in my life is because of my teachers. Some of them were formally designated as my teachers -- in School, College, and University. Others, such as my parents, were my teachers nonetheless.
