How to Become an Effective and Efficient

Teacher
Classroom is a place where formal education takes place. It is a venue
where experiential learning develops. It is a place where different attitudes
and personalities of the child are discovered. And it is the place where
interaction and collaboration between teachers and learners occur. In its four
pillars, there are learnings that all children can acquire. This serves as a
second home of every learners and we teachers serve as their second
parents. Just like in their homes, their parents provide them their needs and
comfort. So, as their teachers we should provide them an environment which
is conducive for learning. But the question is how should I prepare my learning
environment conducive? How should I deliver and accommodate the needs
and deliver the lesson of my learners effectively and efficiently? These are the
questions that bother my mind.
With my observation in Antique Christian Center (ACC), I have
discovered the different answers to those questions. In this activity, I learned a
lot of tips and strategies on how to manage my pupils as well as my
classroom later on. Through my observations, it challenged me as a future
teacher to establish well- managed classroom because first and foremost, I
am the one who will prepare and set the learning experiences of my learners.
I will always make sure that I have learned to distribute and allocate time in
doing my tasks. As a future facilitator of learning, I should possess the
different characteristics which can help me become effective and efficient
manager.
First is the commitment to my work. This characteristic will help me
better to facilitate learning because if I love my work, I can show to my
learners thatI do my work. The second thing that I need to possess iswilling to
take risks; willing to take risks because there are some circumstances that
might happen inside our classroom as well as to my learners so, I should
learn to take the responsibilities because I am a person who holds and
secures the safety of my learners. In addition, I should learn to value time.
Punctuality is one aspect that can help me become effective teacher. If I

possess this I can do my tasks with less effort andin less time, therefore, less
stressful.
I learned that if you aim to become an effective and efficient teacher you
should learn to love your work and reflect these within yourself if you have
already done in attaining your daily objectives. I learned also that the
commitment to work can bring us to what do teachers aim for the classroom,
teacher is the most important because we are the facilitators of learning in the
four pillars of the classroom. We are the persons who will transmit the
knowledge and wisdom to our learners. Through this, I'm so thankful because
I learned a lot; I learned how to use my time, how to set learning environment
that it would be conducive, to deal with the learners and love my work or in
other words I have an idea on how to manage my classroom properly when I
am already in the field of teaching.
