- 3. TEACHER A teacher (also called a school teacher or, in some contexts, an educator) is a person who helps others to acquire knowledge, competences or values.
- 4. PROFESSIONAL TEACHER “Is the licensed professional who possess dignity and reputation with high moral values as well as technical and professional competence. S/he adheres to, observes, and practices a set of ethical and moral principles, standards and values.” A professional teacher perceives himself/herself as someone who can effect change.
- 5. FOUR MODELS The teacher as manager of instruction; The teacher as caring person; The teacher as expert learner The teacher as cultural and civic person.
- 6. QUALITIES Teachers are eager about their topic and contentment in sharing what they have learned. Sometimes it appears that they can go on forever about their subject while negating the idea that they are an "expert." Good teachers will tell you they are students, not teachers. These two qualities are the primary and distinctive features of a teacher. Love of knowledge and a love of contributing to the development of others.
- 7. REFLECTIVE PRACTITIONER Reflective practice is the ability to reflect on one's actions so as to engage in a process of continuous learning. According to one definition it involves "paying critical attention to the practical values and theories which inform everyday actions, by examining practice reflectively and reflexively. A 'reflective practitioner' is someone who, at regular intervals, looks back at the work they do, and the work process, and considers how they can improve. They 'reflect' on the work they have done.
- 8. INQUIRING TEACHER Teachers have the potential to transform and have a profound impact on the learning experiences and life chances of our young people. The ‘style’ approach: A common view of teaching effectiveness which focuses on how teachers teach. The ‘outcomes’ approach: A common view of teaching effectiveness which focuses on student results. The ‘inquiry’ approach: An alternative view of teaching effectiveness that incorporates style and outcomes within an inquiry-based framework.
- 9. COMMITTED TEACHER The strength of any profession depends upon the degree of commitment of its members and the teaching has no exception. A committed physician is one whose behavior is determined by his philosophy of what is meant by his practice of medicine. A committed lawyer is one whose practice is based upon his philosophy of law. Consequently, a committed teacher is one whose behavior is consistent with his philosophy of education.
- 10. PRINCIPLES OF COMMITMENT 1. Commitment to the Students: The teacher struggles to help each student recognize his or her potential as a valuable and effective member of society. The teacher therefore works to stimulate the spirit of inquiry, the acquisition of knowledge and understanding, and the thoughtful formulation of precious goals. Commitment to the Profession: The education profession is vested by the public with a trust and responsibility requiring the highest ideals of professional service.
- 11. MORAL AGENT From Aristotle to nowadays, most of thinkers, believe that ethics can be taught. The research demonstrates that the students’ moral profile is strongly shaped during the academic years. Teachers has an important influence on students’ moral development.

- 12. ROLE MODEL A role model is a person who inspires and encourages us to strive for greatness, live to our fullest potential and see the best in ourselves. A role model is someone we admire and someone we aspire to be like. A child, as we know, needs models and not critics. These models a child finds, first in his parents, and second in his teachers.
- 13. CONT…….. Honest: We want our children, for instance, to develop the quality of honesty. The teacher must then be very honest in all her behaviour with the children she is handling. In this regard, partiality and favoritism are the two most horrible qualities that a teacher should not have. Affectionate: The next quality that we would like to find in an ideal teacher is that, he/she should be very affectionate to all the children in his/her charge. The love they get at this stage of life is what makes them lovable and affectionate adults.
- 14. CONT…….. Good Learner: The students believe that their teacher is a fountain-head of all knowledge. This belief of the children must be kept alive by the teacher which is possible, only if he continues to learn together with his teaching assignments. A good teacher is the one who is also a good learner. Understanding: With this attitude of familiarity with the children, the teacher will win the confidence and they will always discuss their problems with him/her and they will also take him as their confidante. For this, the teacher has to put himself in the shoes of the children, understand their feelings, and he/she will be loved for this.
