A Teacher is a Learner for Life

 

Teachers have profound impact on the minds of the young and the older. There is no age for learning. You can be a student all your life. However, few have the geniune interest for studying and applying it to real life. It's not about ability. As ability can be there or developed if there is a will. For those who do not have the passion, it takes a lot from the teacher to ignite it within the student. 

But salute to the ones who shape minds, who make futures, who play the mentor and guide to bring learners out of limiting beliefs. Today's children are bubbling with energy, overexposed to external stimuli and carry numerous questions. How can their energy be channeled in the right way. As parents handle one or two kids. But teachers handle atleast 20 or more in class. Definitely the number per class is not lesser than that.

An amazing portrayal of what I mean here in the picture. A teacher is like a DJ for learning.. 1. Shifts what matters from everything else. 2. Creates the right mix for the occasion. 3. Leads and responds to the audiance.

Teachers are responsible for developing focus of the learner on the right activities. They have to gauge and respond to different learners for their learning styles. They also need to adapt continuosly with their learners. They need to themselves be continual learners. 

More power to them on Teachers day.
