Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I wanted to be a teacher and was inspired by one. The compassionate teacher inspires a classroom atmosphere that welcomes children’s original ideas, accepts all contributions equally, and at the same time is sensitive to individual abilities. In a safe and secure atmosphere, children can feel free to express their ideas without fear of being wrong, or of not being taken seriously. The teacher can use praise to build on children’s strengths and abilities so that all children see themselves as successful learners.
Teaching children is such a reward thing. You are able to share experiences and help children achieve their best. Teachers can inspire students not only academically but personally. I remember have a great teacher who inspired me to always do my best. I did not want to let her down and I strived to be the best that I could be.
How have you inspired a child and how has a teacher inspired you? What impact did it how on your life. Please share your thoughts with the class. Good posting.
