Topic: Effective Teacher
This topic was very interesting because it discussed about some significant
information on how to become an effective teacher. As far as I know, teacher profession
is not that easy because they have to look for new and different methods to understand
the different learning abilities and capacities of the students. They look for different tools
or different strategies, so students can develop skills and progress in class. It takes
patience, dedication, passion, and the ability to do more with less. It is a treacherous
journey often filled with just as many valleys as there are mountain. Knowing this kind of
discussion is very significant especially to an aspiring teacher who wants to become an
effective teacher to their students in the future. We can differentiate how the common
teacher and effective teacher act in the classroom setting. A common teacher does not
help shape the way children grow beyond the subject because they have a negative
attitude in assessing their students. Unlike an effective teacher, they are prepared, set
clear and fair expectations, have a positive attitude, patient with students, and brings
out the best with their students. In this topic, I clearly understand that the effective
teacher is a revolutionary because he/she knows that, with the exception of parenthood,
her/his role is the most vital one on earth in the preservation of righteousness and the
elevation of humanity. That’s why, I salute to those teachers who are always willing to
explore and find ways to become an effective teacher.
