Professionalism, on the other hand, causes the teacher to do the best possible job and ensures quality in his students learning. A good teacher is a master of the question. He asks good questions to spur his students thoughts, gets good questions from his students by arousing their curiosity and desire to learn, and raises good questions in his own pursuit of knowledge. There can be no truly Christian education without a Christian teacher, one who has been regenerated, or born again, who knows Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. Anything less is mere hypocrisy that produces students with no foundation.
Teaching is more than a job or a career.
It is an investment in lives that requires financial and emotional sacrifice. The teacher who is unwilling to give up something of himself for the benefit and advancement of God s Kingdom should seek fulfillment in some other occupation. A good teacher is knowledgeable of and adept in using a variety of methods, each at the appropriate time. He finds new and better ways of communicating his lessons. No matter how many times a teacher has taught a lesson, he has never taught this class this lesson before.
