Today’s Model Teacher

The model teacher of today’s school, whether she is in a group or alone by herself, is easily recognized by “signs that never fail.” As gold always glitters wherever it is found, so does the model teacher shine at work, in play or in social gatherings.

She is a human transformer. She adjusts to the mental level of her pupils and talks to them in their own language.

She translates pupil’s behavior into learning situations. Out of their restlessness, mischiefs, complaints, inattention, bashfulness, indolence, dependence and bullying attitudes, she evolves through a careful study and interpretation of the widely divergent situations an effective way of sublimating and redirecting them to their proper channel.

The model teacher of today is a guide. She guides well because she has definite plan to execute. Her goals are specific, practical and easy to realize. She always clears away the how’s, why’s and if’s in the pupil’s mind before beginning her task.

The model teacher is patient. She takes pains in dealing with individual pupils who have different likes and dislikes, backgrounds, idiosyncrasies, aptitudes, beliefs and social status without a frown. She does not scold because scolding is repulsive, she does not nag because nagging is oppressive, she does not chastise because it breeds contempt, she does not punish because it is demoralizing, she does not shout because that is shocking. If her labors do not bear tangible results, she waits with hopeful expectations. She patiently retraces her steps to refine, replenish and polish her methods and techniques.

P.T.A. and government funds are safe for she dispenses them to whom they properly belong. Her reports are actually existent and accurately supported by primary source. Her work, not her watch is the timekeeper, for she ceases to work only when thoroughness is achieved.
