In the present era, with the advent of new methodologies in teaching and the way digital and smart learning has made inroads into the field of education, the role of teachers has also greatly evolved over a period of time. Today, a teacher is faced with the arduous task of keeping him/herself abreast with the latest inventions and strides in the field of medicine, education, science, art and etc. Upgrading their skills and knowledge from time to time is thus necessary and is an utmost priority today. Teacher learning is a continuous process that promotes teachers' teaching skills, master new knowledge, develop new proficiency, which in turn, help improve students' learning. Effective teacher learning and professional development is important for student achievement. Varieties of approaches are provided to professional development, including consultation, coaching and communities of practice, lesson study, mentoring, reflective supervision and technical assistance.
A teacher is also an educator. They have the opportunity of making a huge impact on the students, but with this opportunity come many challenges. The greatest of the challenges faced by a teacher are:
- Knowing their students well.
- Understanding the different learning abilities and capacities of the students.
- Motivating and encouraging them when the students underperform and have to deal with parental and peer pressure.
- Building an effective communication channel between the Management-Parents- Students.
Teachers play an important role in our life to become successful in career and business. They are the agents of change of the society. A good teacher helps us to become a good human being in society and a good citizen of the country. Teachers know that students are the future of any nation. So the future development of any nation is in the hands of teachers.
“A gifted teacher is not only prepared to meet the needs of today's child, but is also prepared to foresee the hopes and dreams in every child's future” - Robert John Meehan
