THE TYPE OF TEACHER YOU WISH TO BE

I am studying now in teaching field. 3 years later I will become a teacher as a
degree holder. Teachers work is not such a simple work but, it is difficult, if compare
with other professions. As that, I have started to think seriously about what kind of
teacher I wish to be. As I think about it, some words are cross in my mind. Those
words are passion, appearance, flexible, humour, creativity, knowledgeable in
technology.
I consider that passionate is the most important of all. It doesnt matter what
job it is, if Im not passionate about it I would not be able to be grateful in my job. As
that, I wish to be passion in my teaching field. Because, it will be gave a good
impression of a teacher among student. An Effective teacher should be passionate
while teaching process. I hope that it will help to get a closure relation with students.

By this, I also can achieve objective of my lesson in classroom.

The next quality that I hope as important is appearance. Appearance is one
of the trait that brought a first impressions of a teacher. So, to a get good impression,
I have to look out that good manner of dress as professional. By this I could be able
to attract pupils attention all the time. So, I believe that this also will help in my
teaching process.
Thirdly, I also should be flexible and stylish while teaching. In a classroom,
teacher is not only responsible to teach good or average students. But, a teacher
also must be responsible to teach slow learning students. So in this case, I should
flexible myself to teach those students according to their levels. As that, I should plan
variety activities before going to class. Moreover, teachers teaching style is also
very important in the teaching process because sometimes the students learning will
depend on stylish of teacher in teaching. The way that a teacher arranges the
classroom and teaching methods is the teachers style that I mean here.
Furthermore, I also have to expect that humour is one of my strong skills at
working. It is because this can help students to relieve out from depression including
teacher. Creativity in learning is often highlighted as a basic skill for success in this
21st century and it also will help to held an lessons with humour. The Ministry of
Education, planned to build up the childrens to be creativity in technology. Thus, in
my teaching, I will use the various kind of technology for my teaching skill. I also
should to sharing latest knowledgeable information with the students. Provide
knowledge in the way the students understand. Its may help them to improve their
knowledge skills.
Finally, I want to have all of these characteristics when I become a teacher. I
have realized that every characters are very important. These characteristics will not
only make me as a good teacher, but they will also make me an excellent human
being.
