Teaching is the most rewarding profession one can possess. As teachers, it is our duty to provide students with adequate pedagogy, respect, encouragement, and equality. William Arthur Ward, a writer and motivational speaker once said,” The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires”. My vision is to be an inspiring and entrusting force in a child’s life, obtain essential qualities that students need in a teacher, and provide a safe and fun environment so students are enthusiastic and motivated to learn.
To be an inspiring and entrusting force for students one must gain the trust of the student, encourage them to do their best, and keep spirits high by building self- esteem even when times are hard. A teacher that obtains essential qualities will first and foremost be a leader, have tremendous communication skills and an assertive- yet adaptive personality. A safe and fun environment for a classroom begins with the teacher. Instruction must be motivating, and effective-appropriate pedagogy must be administered to capture students’ attention.
I will not only tell, explain, and demonstrate to my students, I will motivate, inspire and instill excitement into their learning. “A TOP WIFE Tea”, an acronym of all the executive skills a teacher should possess, is my top priority. William Butler Yeats stated, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire”. Knowledge is the golden key to success in life. If I can light the fire of knowledge in my students’ lives, make learning enjoyable and exciting, I have done my job.
