Next, I will write about the most important topic of my philosophy paper, my definition of teaching. Roles and responsibilities of a teacher are extremely important and complex. The first requirement that teachers must fulfill is to have a good solid education themselves. I believe that good teachers can only teach as well as they can learn. Teachers should be examples for their students.
Students discern very quickly if the teacher is displaying a negative attitude.
As teachers, we should explore different methods of teaching, such as cooperative learning. Students should not be subjected to lectures day after day. We need to be creative. As a teacher, I must realize that each child is an individual. As individuals they will all learn at a different pace, and way.
