What are the Good values of a Teacher??

Job as a teacher is a noble profession where teacher is highly regarded by society from the old days until now. The purpose of writing this composition is to describe about what are the good values of a teacher because teacher plays a very important role to students’ future. The good teachers in terms of behaviour, credibility and charisma that portrays by them are actually give an immense impact and will influence the students indirectly. Some poets have pictured teacher as a candle as its life is devoted for other’s sake. Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English begins a teacher is someone whose job is to teach. In education field, teachers are those who help students or pupils learn often in school. While good values are the actions or values that can be followed and adapted in a real life. The characteristics that should be possessed by a good teacher, for instance, give motivation or moral support to weak students, respect students, be honest and responsibility. Teachers must also be a positive thinker, being wise and relevant, mature and fair towards others.
Teachers suppose to give motivation or moral support to students because it will help students to enhance their capability and their strength. They must be aware of the students’ needs and the good motivation from teacher will encourage students to perform well in their studies. A constant motivation from teacher can instill and strengthen internal spirit in students to be a good person generally. By doing so, students will respect the teachers without the teachers realize about that. Teachers should also be ready to listen to their students’ problems and thoughts and be able to response on what have been voiced by their students. The opinions from students have to be valued by teacher so that the students feel they are appreciated by their teachers. It will increase students’ confidence level and their self-esteem. Teacher who always listen to their students is actually become a person who students respect most and this teacher will be the place for them to refer to when they have any problem.
Teachers once have the same feelings and experienced as a student exactly like their students have. So, they can use it as tool to motivate the students in order to enhance the students’ improvement in their studies. They can tell students about their successes and failures and do so-either making excuses or being overly melodramatic about their experiences. Thus, teachers can present practical examples and show applications of such examples clearly. They are not "mysterious" so much as they demonstrate the "mysteries" in simple ways to help students understand them. By doing that, we believe the relationship between students and teachers can be better and students will be more motivated in class as they are not alone anymore.
The effective teachers are people who always have positive thinking towards their students’ abilities and the outcome from that attitude, the teachers must come out with the initiatives to help the students that can be categorized from the good range until to the poor ones. With or without teacher realizes about it, students are very sensitive on what teachers told to them. Students’ performance and behaviour may be affected by teachers’ words. Hence, the teachers should always look on their words when talking. It’s not that teachers cannot give advice to their students, they should approach them in appropriate way so that it would not embarrass their students.
The good values are needed in teachers as they being apart of public figure where they have to deal with public and also the students themselves, the ones that teachers should deal to for every single day. For example, in terms of good manner, the teachers should behave well and speak politely in front of the students. Apart of this, teachers also have to finish the syllabus as what have been planned since they are bound to the dateline and they should also not to escape the class without any reason. The conflict arises when some of teachers in nowadays are not performing their jobs by heart as their willingness of being a teacher can be doubted rather than teachers in the old days. However, along the way to educated people, there will be tons of problems that caused by the students themselves. Working as a teacher means that we cannot show our bad behavior such as anger in front of the students. Teachers should be patient with their students and be able to explain the subject matter to them well. Thus, he or she should love to be a teacher and fond of his or her subjects. By only doing this, teachers will be able to enjoy their works and the students will have their respect toward the teachers. Furthermore, students will realize that patience is crucially important to be a good human beings as they know, the teacher were already proved it to them. Therefore, teachers should be sincere in doing their jobs.
Another good value as a teacher is that they should not be bias toward students. Teachers should treat the students equally without consider their gender, religion, family background or their ability in class. Students are also human beings, thus they might feel uncomfortable and frustrated when a teacher treats them unfairly compared to other students. Ruskin once said that, "When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece" It is fundamental that a teacher cares about humanity in general. Once we love, enjoy and appreciate the individuality of each and every child in our classroom, everything else falls into place. A good teacher takes cognizance of the fact that they are role models for children. We have to remember that we teach more by what we do than by what we say.
In conclusion, teachers should represent the good values so that the students will respect and understand the teachers better. Normally, the role of a teacher is always be highly looking by the students, hence good teachers must know how to behave and act well because they are the future reflection of students. If they do not behave well, their future students will become bad and even worst. So, teachers suppose to exhibit the kind manner whether in class or outside the class. Moreover, motivation from teacher can boost students’ self-assurance. The last but not least, you have to listen to your students’ problems and thoughts because from there you can identify your students’ ability and needs.
