In the magical
world, fairies spread their wings up high and fly to explore the marvelous
beauty of the world. According to
legends and fairytales, the role of the fairies is to help people feel happy,
optimistic and hopeful. Fairies can’t live without their pixie dusts. They
seek, they search and they even risk their lives to find their pixie dusts.
Teachers are fairies. They seek to find new strategies .They explore methods
and techniques. They search for various authentic activities .They rebel
against the traditional methods of teaching. The teachers’ role is to enlighten
the path of the students to become successful member in the society by using their sprinkles of their pixie dusts.
Have you ever
wondered why teaching is not an easy profession?
The teacher is
subjected to deal with many student from different background with different
experiences that mean she has she has to deal with different minds and even
different ways of thinking.
An expert
teacher knows very well that each student is unique. Each student has different
abilities. Each student is intelligent; hence, the teacher should avoid
underestimating the
students ‘abilities and she should have faith
that the students will become successful members in the society. The teacher
should always remember that she is raising a generation; hence, she is a mother
for the students. The teacher should provide enough love, affection and support
to nourish the students because they are like a flower the need enough love,
affection and support to bloom and grow
According to Vygotsky, the students’ learn through social interaction.
The teacher can
arouse her students to communicate through stimulating discussions about
interesting topic.
Moreover, According to Swain and Long,
collaborative dialogue enhances the oral communication’ skills of the learners,
from that point I do believe in the importance of social interaction inside the
class. Social interaction helps the learner to master both accuracy and fluency
in communication.
As a teacher I
must integrate in my lessons activities that are mostly communicative, and
authentic .Authentic activities allow the student to be more engaged in the
lesson; as an example, I will make the students role play different roles to
develop their sense of creativity and authenticity as well.
The students
don’t like anyone to humiliate them .Teachers are recommended to avoid humiliating the
students because the latter are sensitive and emotional well-being.
In addition,
humiliations cause long psychological scars that affect negatively on the
students.
The teacher
should be tolerant and patient especially when she deals with students of
different learning abilities. Some of the students master new concepts easily
.On the other hand some students take a long time to grasp new information in
their memory.
A teacher is expected to use meaningful
learning tools .Making connections between the students experience and the new
lesson, bringing visual and material to the class, asking self-involvement
questions. All these techniques can help the students to find the purpose of
what they are learning
A good teacher
should treat the students without discrimination. . When the teacher
treats the students equally, this will provide comfy environment for learning.
All the students
like when the teacher shed the light on their life because they will feel that
they are important members in the class
.When the teacher asks the students questions related to their life this will
make the latter attentive and intrinsically motivated to learn .It is highly
recommended for the teacher to ask
self-involvement questions.
Teaching is not an easy profession,It requires consistency and commitment.
