You are on a hot seat today to vouch for a teacher worth emulating in the field of education.

Imagine that
a reporter from a teaching journal asks to interview you for a special section on the qualities of
effective teachers. How would you respond to the following questions:

Who is the best teacher you have ever known? What personal qualities made this person
a great teacher?

Having read the philosophies. Let us self-check your philosophy.

On a sheet of paper or in your facilitating-learning journal, draw a picture of yourself working as


a teacher. What metaphor does the picture suggest for your teaching? Here are some sample
metaphors. Ask yourself where do you fit and why? If you don’t fit anywhere, come up with
your own metaphor and explain it briefly. Then consider why your metaphor does not fit with
those listed. What do you believe or value instead? This should help emphasize what is important
to you as a teacher and reveal why you do what you do.

Draw here…
