What Do Teachers Do?
Great teachers do it all. Across all ages, languages, ethnicities, and subjects, teachers are some of the most widely skilled people around in order to be successful. A day in the life of a teacher can vary greatly depending on the subject and grade level in which they teach. From Kindergarten to high school and special education to statistics, one theme runs consistently throughout every great teacher’s career: their job does not end with the school day. Although standing in front of the classroom is a huge part of a teacher’s responsibilities, they extend far beyond that into the lives of their students, their students’ families and their community.
Teachers are in a unique position to have a direct impact on their students. Teachers can see their work in action, see the changes they affect, and in so doing they witness firsthand their goals coming to fruition. No matter what the goals are, they can pretty much be summed into a single sentence: You want to help people. And there are many ways you can help someone as a teacher. To name a few, teachers aspire to educate, to inspire, to learn and to affect positive change.
A great teacher should love educating students, and one of the principal goals many teachers set for themselves is to be the best educator they can be. There is something extremely gratifying about imparting information to your students and working with them to ensure they understand, not only concepts, but practical applications as well. There are different methods you can use to teach, and while your teaching style is unique to you, the most important thing is that you engage, motivate and inspire students to learn. Many people teach out of a passion for their subject. If you truly love a particular topic, you may have a desire to share that knowledge with others indeed, that passion can make you excel at it! Other people teach out of a concern for some of the issues facing the education system and because they want to be a part of the solution.
Whatever the reason, a teacher can do nothing if not educate their students, so many teachers set this at the forefront of their goals: impart lessons that will last a lifetime.
Teachers seek to inspire students in all aspects of their lives, and for many teachers, their greatest goal is to be a role model. A role model is someone who inspires and encourages students to strive for greatness, and teaches them through experience and commitment how to realize their full potential to become the best they can be. Teachers can inspire an uninterested student to become engrossed in learning. They can motivate them to participate and focus, and even bring introverted students out of their shells. A great teacher can get students reading, inspire a passion for languages, make math or science fun, and turn history lessons into fun and exciting stories. For many teachers, one of their simplest goals is to inspire their students to love learning. But the inspirational power of a teacher can transcend the classroom.
So often, we hear people say that they were inspired to pursue their careers because of their teachers. A great teacher can leave an indelible mark that lasts a lifetime, and for many of us, some of our most important decisions were inspired by our teachers.
Teaching is one of those careers where you learn something new every day, and many educators cite this as one of the main things they hope to get out of their career.
On a strictly professional level, the education you attain to become a teacher opens your eyes to many things you may never have been exposed to before. Pursuing a degree in education teaches you so much about learning itself: pedagogy, methodology, etc. You learn how people learn and how to best teach students. Additionally, so many other elements go into teaching that the process of becoming an educator in itself teaches you a great deal. No matter what you teach, your knowledge in many fields will deepen and expand. Then there’s the question of the teacher credentialing process which is also a learning experience.
Teachers also learn a great deal about themselves through teaching. Teaching requires you to step out of yourself in a way you may have never done before, and through this you learn about yourself as a teacher and as a person. You may learn more about how you work with others, particularly with children, and better understand how to communicate effectively and teach efficiently. You can learn how to better handle stress, and the organizational skills you’ll gain from planning lessons and grading assignments will be invaluable. Furthermore, many teachers say the lessons they learn from their own students are the ones that make the job so fulfilling. Students bring a lot of their own life experiences to the classroom, and some of the things they have to say will enlighten you in ways you might not expect. Hearing your students out when they want to voice their opinions can broaden your perspective.
Ambitious teachers are the ones who enter this career to affect change. These are the ones who want to meet the demand for great teachers: They make it their goal to help improve the quality of education for everyone.
These teachers are willing to work in high needs schools, where there is low teacher retention and impoverished communities desperate for committed, talented teachers.
Very ambitious teachers take it a step further. As described in our “Benefits of a Master’s” page, having a Master’s in Education or another advanced degree can help aid in career advancement. Teachers with advanced degrees (Master’s, Doctorate, etc.) are eligible for more promotions and many go into the field with the intention of becoming a principal or school administrator. You can even end up working for your district or state’s board of education. At this level, you can effect real change by helping shape the future of education in your area.
When a teacher says their goal is to “make a difference”, this is what they mean. They not only want to change the lives of their students, they want to change the face of education.

Page load link Go to TopI teach them and they teach me!
In The Irony of Fate, when Nadia talked about her profession as a teacher, she said that she was teaching schoolchildren to think and have their own opinion on everything, and the children, in turn, taught her. My students also teach me, you can call it an educational symbiosis, and I want to share which “paragraphs” I have already gone through.
The first lesson I learned was to be ready for any question and know how to answer it.
When I started teaching, I naively believed that uncomfortable and unexpected questions from students were the prerogative of series about school, how wrong I was!
Whatever they asked me, starting with curiosity about my personal life, ending with questions: “How to cook methamphetamine?” and "How to cheat a drug test?".
At first, it seemed to me that I was becoming redder than Mexican tomatoes and literally falling through the ground, if questions about my age, marital status, and what I did on the weekend suddenly rained down on me.
And then it dawned on me! Children do not want to "blow me up", they are sincerely interested in knowing more about the person who undertook to teach them. And, of course, they are not abstracted from the outside world, children watch TV shows, surf the Internet, listen to the conversations of adults, because it is so natural that they have questions not only about how to solve logarithmic equations. Over time, I learned to answer any question that was asked in class, because I am categorically against ignoring what they ask me. It seems to me that it will be a million times worse if you use cliché phrases: “We will discuss this after the lesson!”, “This does not concern our lesson!”, “How can you allow yourself to do this?”. If the question was raised, then, I am sure, it must be answered, even if it is asked completely off topic, there is always a minute for a short and tactful answer.
The second lesson was taught to me by my student, who in June last year passed the exam in biology with 92 points.
He taught me that my opinion is not the only correct one in this world, and I can be wrong even though I am a teacher. This lesson was given to me much easier and painless than the previous one, we analyzed the Olympiad tasks, one of the questions was from the category “on biological logic”. The student did not agree with the solution that I proposed, and from his iron evidence, only one thought buzzed in my head: “Why didn’t I think of such a solution?”.
At that moment, the understanding came that I, like them, have to study all my life, increase my experience and knowledge, become more competent every day, and this is a cool, exciting way! Since then, I have not been afraid to admit my mistakes, and I am not afraid to agree with the opinion of children, I absolutely do not consider it humiliating.
The third lesson was quite simple, but so necessary! My students taught me to enjoy the little things.
I teach teenagers, and at the very beginning of my work, it seemed to me that it was extremely difficult to notice simple things if 80-9You spend 0 percent of your free time staring at your phone screen, as modern schoolchildren do. How wrong I was! They see everything, notice everything, even much more than adults think about them. For example, it was my attentive students who paid attention to the first snow, and I after them. It was they who first began to rejoice at the fact that it became lighter on the street, since spring is coming, and then I, along with them!
As a child, I read the book "Pollyanna", where the little girl found something to rejoice in everything, without exception, and now I can do it too, thanks to my students!
The fourth lesson is to be “on topic” all the time.
This lesson is probably more in the future, and I will be able to feel it to the fullest when I stop outwardly merging with my students. During breaks, during excursions, after lessons, we communicate on various topics, of course, they always tell us what they are interested in, what they watch, what music they listen to, and due to our small difference in age, many of our hobbies coincide.
Naturally, I am not put into a stupor by the phrase: “On Saturday I rode a hoverboard, and on Sunday I launched a quadcopter with my friends, and on Monday I roflil with friends on geography.” I'm not averse to riding a hoverboard myself, by the way!
But it always seemed to me that the older generation of teachers often do not understand what is interesting for modern children, and in the summer, talking with my former class teacher, in a friendly conversation, I suddenly realized that the teacher always remains “in the subject”, regardless of age, if he is interested in what his students live. So, I sincerely believe that even in 30, 40 or 50 years I will be on the same wavelength with the children I teach. Here it is, a simple recipe for eternal youth!
The fifth lesson that every teacher should definitely learn: children are the most honest audience in the world, and they perfectly see insincerity.
Before I started teaching, I had quite a lot of experience in public speaking in front of an adult audience.
But as it turned out, there is a huge difference between tactful adults and straightforward schoolchildren.
For example, if I do not perfectly know the text of my scientific work and speak with it in front of professors, then they will still listen or pretend to listen attentively, thinking about the approaching dinner, looking at the clock and talking in a whisper among themselves. They are adult, well-mannered people who are used to controlling their emotions and being tactful. But, if, without preparing for the lesson, I come to my students’ class and start telling the topic of the lesson in an uninteresting and dry way, while stammering through the word, then they will do anything, just listen to me. And this is their honest and objective reaction!
A teacher can only become a mentor if he is respected and trusted, but how can you trust a person who is not sure of what he is saying? To be sincere, not to try to appear, to be yourself - these are, in my opinion, one of the most important qualities for a teacher, and the honesty of the children's audience helps to develop them.
Long gone are the days when one could be put in a corner or, even worse, physically punished for not doing homework, and the image of a teacher has changed significantly over several centuries. A teacher today is first and foremost a mentor, not an overseer. I like that the learning process is a collaboration, I give students knowledge, help prepare for exams and olympiads, and they teach me not to be a "boring adult" and not stop being surprised at simple things, to be attentive and look at life with optimism.
Remember Exupery's wonderful fairy tale "The Little Prince"? There was a phrase: “But, unfortunately, I can’t see the lamb through the walls of the box. Maybe I'm a little like adults. I guess I'm getting old." You know, a teacher who really loves his job, daily comprehends the subtle art of "seeing the sheep" and successfully copes with this task. And after that, how can you not love your job?

Essay on the topic "I teach children of a new generation.
.." Author: Medvedeva Elena Konstantinovna teacher of history and social studies of the Municipal state educational institution
"Secondary secondary school No. 10, Nizhneudinsk
I teach children new generations…
I often ask myself the question: Am I a happy person? But when is a person happy? Probably then when he is satisfied with life, when he knows why he lives. And I can fully answer with confidence: “Yes, I am a happy person! First, my favorite family, I am a mother of two wonderful children, and secondly, I have a favorite job.
When the question of choosing a profession arose before me, there was no doubt, I would enroll in a pedagogical institute. Many of my classmates gave documents to several universities, and I didn’t even imagine that I could become someone others. What could influence my choice? There are many reasons.
My parents are ordinary workers. Father all his life he worked in the forest, and my mother worked in the trade sector.
In general, from pedagogies are far away, but my mother always cited the profession as an example teacher. Her parents were very kind, friendly and simple people. AT guests often came to them and the village teachers Vasily Fedorovich and Zinaida Aleksandrovna Gartsev. With what warmth she always remembers this couple teachers - "Teachers with a capital letter." In the village they were very respected people, they were turned to for advice, even if it concerned their personal lives. Of course, my mother dreamed that her children would also become respected people. And respected those who lived not for themselves, but for people. This was the consciousness of the generation, born in the difficult post-war years.
I think my choice is also large influenced by my older sister. She graduated from the Faculty of Philology and I have been working at the school for two years now. As a student, she traveled every summer with teaching team to work in a pioneer camp. She took me with her.
All the work that students did in the camp, I saw from two sides: through the eyes of children and through the eyes of students - educators. She often helped preparing events for children. Of course, this could not but affect my decision to become a teacher.
- Let's play school? - offered me a friend Marinka.
-Good. Only I will be a teacher, - I answered her.
Mogla Would I then think that this role would become a part of my life. Yes, as a child I played even when she helped her younger brother do his homework. Instead of a pointer held a long ruler and importantly explained how to solve a problem correctly or check is the word spelled correctly. I really liked doing it, but not because that I wanted to seem smarter than him, it was more important for me that he pulled up his studies. My "importance" was just an attempt to copy the stereotype of the teacher's behavior. But did I realize what a teacher is? Yes, of course not!
Good I remember my first lecture at the university.
Eighty freshmen were gathered in large audience; everyone is making noise, getting to know each other, considering themselves "chosen ones". And so she entered old lady. There was complete silence, there was something in it that caused deep respect and silenced everyone. The first thing she asked if we understood well what have chosen a profession, are we aware of all the responsibility that we do we lay? I thought seriously ... And then, I still often heard these words on lectures of various teachers and was quite surprised. It seemed to me that we were just advised to study. But over time, I realized the great meaning invested in these the words.
I became teacher! In 2003, the Irkutsk Guards Cadet Corps opened a me doors. How much excitement! There are only boys in the class. I will learn future officers! Can I? real The job was very different from what I had imagined. On my way there were many difficulties, consisting of fear, uncertainty, inexperience. Often in my head flashed the thought that I went the wrong way.
And in this is the time at the meeting of the methodological council, head teacher Valentina Ivanovna Igumnova uttered the words of L.N. Tolstoy: “Not the teacher who receives the upbringing and education of the teacher, and the one who has inner confidence in what he is, must be, and cannot be otherwise. This confidence is found rare and can only be proven by the sacrifices that a person makes to his calling." Apparently, she well understood the excitement of young teachers. And so Then I firmly decided that there was no turning back.
I school, and at the university I had teachers who carried the experience of the "Soviet school". I I am proud that this foundation has been laid in me. But I began to work at that time, when a completely different generation of children came. They were referred to as the "Nexst Generation". Yes, these are other children. They are more mobile, learn faster technical innovations. This generation has new values and new needs. It became clear: in order to be interesting to your students, to walk with them in leg, I, as a teacher, must also change.
Yes what should a modern teacher be like? This question for me has now become key. I agree with the opinion of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev expressed in National Education Initiative "New School" that "a new teacher is creative, independent, competitive, versatile, cultural, morally and spiritually developed personality. I will add, this is a man who loves his work and their students. This is a person close to the ideal. It is love and respect for children makes the personality of the teacher unique and distinguishes this profession from the rest. It is clear that the ideal teacher cannot be at all; he can be such only for a particular person. And at all times for everyone this image individual.
B the modern professional standard of the teacher says: “In a rapidly changing open world is the main professional quality that a teacher must constantly demonstrate to his students, becomes the ability to learn. Willingness to change, mobility, ability for non-standard labor activities, responsibility and independence in decision-making - all these characteristics of activity successful professional fully relate to the teacher.
The acquisition of these valuable qualities is impossible without expanding the space of pedagogical creativity.
I concluded for myself: as a modern teacher, I must create conditions conducive to the development of children. This helps a lot with close cooperation with parents, colleagues, students and all interested in the process of upbringing and education by people.
I am sure that the principles known to many, which are also necessary in the work, will help in this. modern teacher. First, help the child to feel in himself confidence. Secondly, love your students already for the fact that they have been given the right to live. on the ground. Thirdly, support students in their deeds and undertakings; find something the best that is in them and try to develop. Fourth, do your best kindness to you without waiting to be asked. Fifth, make mischief-makers and naughty with their assistants. Finally, give light to your students.
I think that in a modern school all this Maybe.
Therefore, I am guided by these principles.
I am a teacher of history and social studies, and so I have an even greater responsibility. The lessons of history and social science are the lessons of patriotism. Per The future of our country sits in desks at my lessons. And from what these will become children, not only the life of the country depends, but mine too. I feel for myself responsibility in instilling in my students such valuable qualities as love for Motherland, respect for the customs, traditions of peoples, tolerance. I, as a teacher, must educate worthy citizens of our state.
I hope that the knowledge and skills that students in the lessons of history and social studies will be useful to them in life.
V.O. Klyuchevsky said: “To be a good teacher, you need love what you teach and love those you teach.”……………………………………………
High professionalism, love for children, kindness and desire to see the best in the world around us - this is the the foundation on which the temple of spirituality and knowledge is being built is our new school.
I am not a perfect teacher. Often I am doing "selfishness". My own grindstone, but it makes me not sit still, but develop, engage in self-education, find new and interesting hobbies.
Thank you fate, which always throws me something new and unusual. I'm very happy, that ten years of my life were connected with the cadet boarding school. Exactly Here I got a lot of experience in patriotic education. Together with children, I learned to be courageous, not to be afraid of difficulties, to always respond on requests, to love people. My boys have been "commanding regiments" for a long time, but with meeting always remember "our" lessons. I taught them and they taught me.
Here in Nizhneudinsk fate is mine gave a great friend and mentor to Leonova Nina Nikolaevna, who involved me in the search movement. How interesting it is to do research and involve others in it. I do not select children in my squad, they themselves come to to me. Curiosity and desire to learn new things, touch history, make your own contribution to the common cause - all this unites me and my search engines.
Guys feel the importance of their work and great responsibility for the result of their work.
Not all the guys in my squad study well, many are very insecure, some stutters, someone burrs, but I will never throw anyone away. I think that every the child should be given the opportunity. And let someone be shy on speaking in front of a large audience, but how does he manifest himself in expeditions! Where does he suddenly get the courage and ingenuity when carrying out research, work on the ground! Great happiness for me to watch children at this time and help them with advice if something does not work out.
Often I hear the expression "hothouse children", that is, they have everything for life. Not you have to make a lot of effort to learn something - turn on the Internet and before you the whole world. Many children prefer computer games or virtual communion with the joys of living communication and the real world. Unfortunately, sometimes I hear in response to my proposal to go on an expedition, the words: “Oh, you have to get up! How about going far? Is there a place to charge the tablet there? But the one I was able to convince, will no longer waste his time.
For these children, the game the tablet will lose its importance, and live communication and friendship will become more important than the virtual one.
On an expedition to the battlefields, the guys change a lot. They are not only different begin to look at the feat of our people during the Great Patriotic War, appreciate memory, but also become much more mature. There they understand practice, what is the responsibility and the shoulder of a friend. Here is an example, Timka is incorrigible dvoechnik. Everyone told me: “Why are you taking it?”. Colleagues believed that The Watch of Memory should be taken only by those who are worthy. May be so. But here's what Surprisingly, after the trip, my "loser" took up his studies, calmly passed exams and entered the university. More than once, Timothy noted how much good things gave him this trip.
It is important for every teacher to see the results of your work. So everything is not in vain!
Kind words at the meeting of graduates, warm messages and their success convince me that that I am where I belong.
