WHY I CHOSE TEACHING
By Dena Falken
Teaching can be defined as the involvement of students that allows them to understand and apply knowledge, concepts and processes. … Teaching is basically the creation of pedagogical, social and ethical conditions under which students undertake to take control of their learning, individually and collectively.
The Joy Of Being A Teacher
Teachers always have one more thing to do. He spends his days presenting lessons, creating new curricula, measuring learning outcomes, mentoring students, supervising extracurricular activities and assessing assignments. The benefits of teaching include the joy and pride of watching students learn and grow. Although teaching is not one of the highest-paid professions, those who love the classroom realize that this role has the potential to be one of the most lucrative jobs of all time due to their long working hours.
Reasons Why ‘Teaching’ Is A Fulfilling Career Choice
Why teaching is fulfilling. It is an enriching role because they can importantly influence and shape the future of every student by leading by example. Teaching is a challenging career because it not only provides students with academic support; the teacher also provides personal guidance.
ü Personal Fulfillment
Many teachers find personal satisfaction. When you teach a subject that you enjoy, you talk about something you love every day and we hope you pass this passion on to others. If you are a creative person, you will find pleasure in designing creative curricula, arranging classrooms and creating message boards.
As teachers have to undergo further training and attend classes regularly, they are constantly learning new things and improving their teaching skills. Watching yourself learn and grow as a teacher can increase your overall self-esteem.
ü Interaction With Students
As a teacher, you have the opportunity to get in touch with many students every day. While some of these students may be the most frustrating part of the job, they may also be the most rewarding. Not only will you be happy to teach children new skills, but also the ability to improve their emotional well-being.
The joys of learning include increasing students’ confidence, helping them learn to read, or solving a difficult math problem. You can show a poor student that someone cares about him by smiling in the morning or patting him on the back for a job well done.
ü Respect For The Community
As a teacher, you also receive great respect from friends, family and the community. You deserve the praise and admiration of people who have never been able to imagine spending a day in a classroom full of high school students or who are tempted to run away after five minutes with a schoolboy. As a teacher, you have one nationally recognized week to appreciate yourself and your work. During the school return period and during Teacher Thanksgiving, many companies will find time to offer free offers and discounts, to thank teachers and to show their respect for the profession.
Teaching is known as a “noble profession” because of the impact a teacher can have on children in general and on those who will become leaders of tomorrow. But teaching can be noble because of the challenges teachers face on a daily basis. Are you thinking of becoming a teacher? Make sure you love children, teenagers or teenagers because you communicate with them every day. Think carefully about the advantages and disadvantages of the profession so that you are well prepared for what is to come when applying.
ü Change Your Life And Worry Too Much
Teaching is a profession where you can really change a child’s life, often profoundly. You spend most of your day with the kids, in most cases longer than your parents. Young children in particular will look to you as a role model and repeat what you say and do. You also get to know their families and find out which children may need to be referred to social services, and you can get that help. Or you can help a teenager trying to figure out which career to choose. You too may be lucky enough to become a teacher that everyone will remember as someone who cared enough to make a difference.
But changing children’s lives requires tremendous dedication and hard work. Learning can be hard work; physically, mentally and emotionally. You spend more time with other people’s children than you do with your family. It’s hard not to bring home the needs of the children in your class and the associated emotions. Do you remember teachers or professors who never smiled, always looked unhappy and were only happy with the kids who got the best grades? He may have chosen the wrong profession, but it could also be that she had a passion for learning and was simply burnt out from worrying too much.
ü Degree Of Autonomy
As a teacher, you have a high degree of independence. You are the head of your class. You determine how the class is configured and what the rules are. You have a curriculum, but you can change the way you teach it. You can choose to teach children at the age you like best, especially when they reach old age.
The downside is that even if you are the head of your class, you have to satisfy the principal who comes to review your teaching and control techniques in the classroom unannounced. To improve test scores, some school districts or states have established not just curricula, but the way you should teach them – literally – which limits your choices and perhaps forces you to rethink your beliefs about how to teach.
ü Diversity And Schedule Compliance
Many teachers say they like it differently each day. Yes, you stick to the schedule, but every day is a little different because of classes like music, arts culture, and physical education. And there are extras like dates, parties and fire drills. Every child is an individual who brings something different to the classroom every day and often makes you laugh whether you like it or not.
On the other hand, some teachers prefer to create their own schedules, but because, for example, children switch classes based on their abilities, they feel that their schedules are determined by other teachers and their priorities. As you are one of many teachers, you have to collaborate with other teachers and make allowances for them. And if you are someone who can’t stand the diversity that a class of more than 20 kids or 100 teenagers can cause during the day, or at least don’t see the fun sometimes, choose another profession.
ü Short Days And Free Time
As teachers are only paid for their work during school hours, they usually do not work in the summer. They also often take extended vacations in the spring and later in the year around the Christmas and New Year holidays. If you have kids, you don’t need to look for a nanny and you can have fun together. The school day ends earlier than the normal working day so teachers can go home earlier.
ü Why Learn?
Whether or not it is important why someone starts teaching is part of the ongoing debate in colleges and schools across the country. The workload that teachers face, as well as the working conditions that many faces on a daily basis, are reasons to consider them. However, it is much harder to give an accurate answer. Individuals enter the profession for a variety of reasons. Some people decided to learn after their original career plans did not materialize, others waited for a great vacation in Hollywood and just waited for their time. However, teaching others is a life goal. This issue is not limited to those who train potential teacher candidates, those who hire and hire teachers, and those who shape education policy. This is also important for beginning teachers and those who have been supported. Its relevance may explain the relationship between the quality of teaching practice, their belief in their role as educators and the reasons for entering the profession.
However, given the number of educators who enter the profession each year and understand the complexity of this work, it is possible that paying too much attention to why people choose to go to education is a futile endeavor. Time and energy could be better spent meeting the needs of educators preparing to work with students. This includes a commitment to providing quality education and supporting your continued growth and development.
It could be a good idea to ask future teachers or new teachers to think about the process that led them to become teachers. If it takes you back to your childhood, what activities influenced your decision? If their decision was made after being exposed to students and schools, or if they had the opportunity to experience and / or observe teaching, how did these experiences support their decision? If their decision was made only recently, or after considering other career/life options, what struggle did they face in the final decision? The answers to these questions will give you a better overview of your understanding and commitment to the profession. www.legalenglish.com
