Being a teacher today is very challenging profession. Challenges of this century are different from the old once, since today we are living in a world that is changing rapidly, and the technology is helping on it, and making things easier for the worldwide, but difficult for the teachers. More to the point, there is difficult work for teachers to do in order to get the students attention and get to know their interests. Teachers have many factors to consider when teaching the students in their classrooms. "No Student to be Left Behind/Alone" has increased the pressure to make sure students perform on a certain level. Another challenge to be considered is that not all students are the same, so they have different learning styles and temperaments that the teacher should take care of. Sometimes, student’s attention depends from the teacher’s methodology and what the techniques that the teacher uses for making things clear. There are many instructions that we should keep in mind as a teacher, but the important things that you should repeat to yourself as a teacher, at least once per everyday that you teach (like professor Zisi mentioned) are:
• Thank you very much!
• You are the best!
• I am proud of you!
• I love you!
By repeating these sentences above automatically we are able to love our job and our students, but not only love them but also we can listen, understand, help and make things easier for their lessons. So, in the end you can get what you want from them, and they can get what they want from you.
In the end, I think that all teachers agree, that being a teacher is a challenge.
