The Teaching ProfessionJust Now . Edited

An Overview

Teaching is the noblest of all profession. A many-sided task. Its reward are many, except material. Teaching has its own reward except money. If you insist teaching for money, go elsewhere. Try other professions.

Teaching is fun! Not just a job but a mission to carry out. Teachers must have the power to influence pupils to love learning.

“A teacher affects eternity; no one knows where his influence stops”

-Henry Adams

Never underestimate your power as a teacher, the power to make a difference in the lives of your pupils. Never stop studying. When your enthusiasm for your subject and teaching dies, the teacher in you dies also then you will start hating your subject and possibly your students too.

This is your profession, your calling. This is your mission, to be a good influence on the young and impressionable.

5. Attitudes – the learner’s way of thinking and reacting in the learning environment depending on their personal characteristics.

Some positive attitudes are:a) Curiosity – eagerness of the learner to

know more about an object or event by endlessly questioning until they get the right information.

b) Responsibility – responsible students pursue assigned task to completion despite personal constraints.

c) Creativity – the student’s capability of generating own ideas of doing things.

d) Persistence – Persistent students sustain interest in a learning activity not mindful of the extra time and effort being spent.
