Teachers Mold the Future
By:Faizan Tahir

When planning to start a career as a teacher it is important that one look deep inside herself. She becomes attuned with the good, the bad, and the ugly. She learns the positive as well as the negative parts of her personality as well as the potential impact they will have on students.

One should accurately access herself. Is she capable of working with young people?

There are some universal points that every teacher should fulfill.

Dress Code - Whether you are teaching young people or older students, you should dress appropriately. You should have sophisticated and appealing attire which will depict the soberness and softness of your personality.

Don't behave like you are on the cat walk at a fashion show in New York City. Children are watching you. It's important to present the positive aspects of your personality. When dressing appropriately, children will like and respect you.

Vernacular - When teaching pre-juniors, make certain you are using appropriate words. Pronunciation should be clear and accurate. Speak clearly. Children will understand quickly, and you will not need to reiterate instructions.

Vocabulary - From an early age, children need to enhance their vocabulary which will help build stronger sentences. When students have a clear understanding of the distinction between easy and difficult words, this knowledge will empower them to produce compelling essays during the course of their education. Language problems shouldn't exist in your class. Mastery of vocabulary will engage your students' minds.

Communicate -Consider how to talk with children. When dealing with older students, avoid addressing a student punitively. Strict punishment is not the solution to make children comply. A soft and polite conversation will typically deliver important teachings to the children. When working with pre-juniors, strive to deal equitably with all students. Do not show favoritism.

It's important to have the support of a friend and confidant with whom you can share your fears, feelings, hopes and dreams. Finding a friend who is a teacher is critical to your development as a teacher. When you have a friend in the same field, belonging to the same community, you can grow and develop as a teacher.
