The Teacher as an Individual Person

Understanding the Teaching Profession requires a deeper appreciation of

the lives of teachers as individuals in society. Teachers are given high regard in

society for the multiple roles they perform aside from teaching. As society

becomes more complex and its values become more pluralistic, the areas of

responsibility for teachers become wider (Pelletier, 2004). Hence, teacher

education institutions (TEIS) should embrace the challenge of preparing teachers

who will soon carry the task of preparing the young generation to meet the

different challenges brought by an ever-changing world. This will prepare them to

become effective professionals in all tasks in various communities where they will

be assigned to serve.

Cohen, Manion, and Morrison (1996) pointed out that teaching is more

than just a simple job. Some people, especially those who choose it to be their

profession, regard teaching as a higher calling and a commitment to make

positive changes in society and in the lives of all people they teach. Teachers are

modern heroes and heroines. They are servant leaders, knowledge providers,

and community organizers. It is then important to understand the life of a

teacher as a person.Teachers Have:

1. Different talents and skills

A teacher should have various skills and talents that can be shared

and used to perform in any teaching tasks. For instance, teachers who

can sing, dance, or play any instrument are great assets. They can

organize a campus choral or a school dance club and integrate musical

experiences in the classroom interaction. On the aspect of skills, many

teachers are creative in designing their classroom environment and

instructional materials, as well as organizing school activities. They may


master giving appropriate strategy and instructional methods to their

diverse learners.

These talents and skills help the teachers to fulfill their noble task of

shaping the minds and character of future generations of professionals

and responsible citizens. Below is a graphic description of a teacher’s

talents and skills.
