The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth.
– Dan Rathe
Education is considered as the most powerful weapon in life to achieve victory and success. Teachers are given to perform this important responsibility and work to create and shape the future of our country and the lives of the youth by educating them.
A teacher is a great source of knowledge, prosperity and light from which anyone can get benefit for life.
They are a gift given by God in a person’s life,which leads us to success without any selfishness.In fact, we can call him as the creator of the astounding future of our nation through education.
According to educational consultant Jeffrey Benson, good teachers don’t see students as test scores; they see students as human beings with a need to connect and interact with others, as well as be accepted with and in spite of their flaws. Benson says, “Students — from kindergarteners to high schoolers — look to educators for unconditional acceptance. We hear all the time that our best teachers love their students, regardless of their age or achievement.” They make the student academically excellent and encourage him to do good in life always. They equip the student with knowledge, skills and positive behavior so that the student can never feel lost and move on. They always explain to the students about their goal of education through clear vision and ideas.
Teaching is not an easy task .Our modern society demands high quality teaching and learning from teachers. Teachers have to possess a great deal of knowledge and skills with regard to both teaching and assessment practices in order to meet those demands and standards of quality education.Various researches and studies have indicated that when teachers are effective classroom managers, their students achieve at a higher level and display more interest in the class subject matter.
“Teaching is the greatest act of optimism”( Colleen Wilcox ) and we must agree that highly motivated teachers always do successful efforts and find out more about their own craft, pushing out the boundaries of their learning and teaching, looking for the new topics and ways to teach. However, in order to achieve their maximum potential, ongoing professional development should be implemented in their schedules by such an Education Institution pledged to create best educators in the society.
From decades ,Satyam College of Education is devoted to that task of promoting teachers’training- teaching skills, master new knowledge, develop new proficiency, which in turn, help improve students’ learning. Teachers provided with proper training on up-to-date information and new research on classroom management, on emerging technology tools for the classroom, new curriculum resources, and more, could become a successful factor to their schools.
