Talented Young Writers and Successful Teachers-Part Two
By Dr. Hasan Yahya
Elements of Successful Teachers for all educational stages from pre-school to college or university. Top successful teachers in every field share common characteristics and attitudes. If you want to be among the top instructors in your field, with a little previous planning, try incorporating these seven outstanding attributes for success:
1. Clarity–successful people know who they are and where they are going. They have developed a clarity of vision of their primary and secondary goals. In any time, take a moment to reflect on your progress in life and why you are teaching. How does teaching correspond to your values, and what do you hope to achieve in your classes?
2. Courage–often called the foremost of the virtues–is the ability to act as if you have already attained your goal. Courageous people know that progress requires effort, persistence and the will to overcome obstacles. Courage is the driving force behind those who continuously seek improvement ideas, modify them where necessary and apply them.
3. Common sense–the ability to learn from experience or to adapt new learning activities and teaching methods. Instructors with common sense strive for intellectual honesty and maintain an objectivity toward the teaching/learning process. They seek to find what works and share it with others to promote the common goal by listening and encouraging your student to excel.
4. Career conception in other words, see yourself as your own boss. Embracing the self-employed attitude means that you take charge of your career instead of just letting it happen. Let your love to your work be imitated by your students.
5. Commitment to a mission–it is known that almost everything you do in teaching follows from your personal mission and that of your department or institution. Commitment to an overriding purpose results in a positive mental frame work that helps to build your instructional design and heighten the effectiveness of your communication with students and colleagues.
6. Fairness- in treatment among your students enhances your respect among them, and make them show their hidden talents and make yourself a discoverer. Try these secrets in your career as a teacher, and focus on the secrets of successful teachers. You will be discoverer of young writers in your school environment.
Finally, as you see there is no seventh element, but you are smart reader to add may be another five or six characteristics of successful teacher as yourself. I am sure, you will and you CAN. By the way to remind you, Buddha, Iqbal, Jesus, Moses, and Muhammad, were great talented teachers in history and in their own people. If you become a good writer or successful teacher you will be close to be proud as a good exemplar like them for many people not only in your nation but in the whole world. [(1344 words)]
