Hi I’m Shiela Mae B. Molato, 21 years old ,teaching education student. Many of you are asking why I want to become a teacher . The reason is I want to  make a difference in others’ lives through education. As a future educator, I am committed to helping my students succeed and achieve more.

 I have a dream and  that’s dream of success motivates me to study. Not my success, my future students’ success. I push myself through the rough spots for them. Everything I’m learning at university is important for my future career and, if I don’t study it, I’m failing my future students. Every child deserves the best education available and I should strive to be the best educator possible to provide that for them. When balancing academics, work, and my social life, it can get challenging to keep going. But, with the future of children’s education in my hands, I always get back on track.

Important ethical aspects as a teacher

Teachers play a huge role in student’s lives, and form a major influencing factor for them right from the childhood. They, with the help of chalk and board, can help students develop imagination that will help them to paint their own world. Regarded as the noblest profession of all, these educators can lay the foundation of your life. Apart from imparting academic knowledge, these mentors are also responsible for inculcating invaluable life lessons in their students.

To set a positive example, teachers must follow an ethical code of conduct to show professionalism. Those ethics ensure that these educational guides remain unbiased while doing their job and fulfill their objective of providing uncompromising education. Professional ethics determines their responsibilities towards the students.

Following moral principles must be observed by the teachers.

Being with the students

They are entrusted with the role of providing a quality education to all students in the classroom. As a part of ethics, they cannot exhibit favoritism towards any particular student or even show discrimination against any of them. He/she ought to interact with the pupils in an appropriate manner without taking any advantage. They must keep minimum contact with students outside the school premises, and if need arises, it must be related to some school event or function.

Safety for all students

Apart from making the learners understand the basics of different subjects, it is the teacher’s responsibility to ensure students’ safety by gaining their trust. They have to understand needs of each individual student and report incidences of harassment and bullying that occur within the school premises. Also, if there is a strong doubt of neglect or abuse at home, or when a student discloses any such case, then it must be immediately notified to the right authorities even if the involved student refrains from any such action.

Commitment towards the profession Anyone who aspires to work in this field must understand ethics related to this profession. They must represent accurate information about their qualifications, certifications of undertaken courses or workshops and required licenses. Representing misleading information just to get entry into this profession can shatter your chances to a great extent. The teachers must report the progress of students and be fair in giving grades for assessments. Manipulating it or purposefully reconstructing student responses can land them with fraudulent charges thus leading to loss of job.

Cooperating with colleagues

To provide a safe environment in the school, all teachers, administrator’s and non-teaching staff that must collaborate to give a rich learning experience for the learners. Every teacher associated with the institution must adhere to the guidelines set by administrators. They must bear in mind to follow expected rules; however, unreasonable it may occur to create a right example in front of students and not disrespect the authorities. In case of disagreement with a colleague over any trivial issue or a topic, the educators must sort out their differences in private. They should not speak negatively for their fellow employees and maintain appropriate relationships with them. In addition to this, the teachers must keep personal and professional life different and abstain from indulging in any adult behaviors.

Interaction with parents and community

Apart from colleagues, the educators must engage in positive interactions with parents or guardians for the child’s future. In case of troublesome parents, the meetings must be conducted under the supervision of administrator or with the help from other teachers. They must not give into unduly demands by parents.

Teachers can be regarded as a guiding light as they play an important role in shaping the life of many individuals. They are strong role models and need to have a rational behavior towards the students. Following above ethics will help them in being impartial in their field and do job honestly with professionalism.

What makes teaching a fulfilling job?

Being a teacher means you help enrich children’s lives, not just through core educational skills like mathematics, reading, and science, but also responsibility, analytical skills, and building self-confidence.

Nothing makes a teacher prouder than seeing their students succeed, knowing they have helped give kids the skills they need for the future. You’ll find that many teachers relish in their teaching careers due to the rewarding aspects of the job.

Influencing the Future

As a teacher, you are giving children the skills they need to go out into the world and succeed. It really doesn’t matter at what stage in a child’s life this happens, so whether you are teaching five-year-olds letter sounds or high schoolers about photosynthesis, you are giving them what they need to go on and do bigger and better things and build upon those skills.

Help Build Self-Esteem

Teaching isn’t all about learning ABC’s and 123’s. It’s about building confidence in students to help them with the drive to succeed. Academically, this could be helping a child get through a lesson they find particularly difficult. Spending that little bit of extra time to get them through something they’re struggling with and seeing how excited they are when they start to make connections makes it all worth it.

This isn’t just when it comes to academic things too; it can be about making friends, finding the encouragement to present in front of the class or even with some guidance on what to do for the future and applying for university. You are your students’ biggest cheerleader in school, so let them know about it and give them the self-confidence they need to keep going.

You Get to Work in a Fun, Creative Setting

Long gone are the days where classrooms were drab and dull, and the only colour around was that on the textbooks. Now classrooms are fun, vibrant places of learning where creativity is encouraged. Teachers often get a bit of creative freedom when it comes to how they want to arrange their classroom. It should emulate a positive feeling and create a pleasant learning environment. You get to make it a welcoming place that your students (and you!) will want to spend their days in. How many other professions allow you to do that?

Every Day is Different and Exciting

Teaching means that every day is different, no mundane or repetitive work here! Sure, you will have to grade papers, have routine meetings, and do paperwork, but for the most part, no two days are the same. Every day you will work on different tasks with your students, and of course, they will never bore you either!

Each day is a chance to work with young minds and teach new things. One thing you will see every day, though, is the smiles on children’s faces as they work and play in the classroom you have set up for them.

You Make Learning Fun

Kids will come into your classroom excited to learn when you make lessons more fun and enjoyable, and there is really nothing better than seeing your students eager to learn. Reading about a topic is great, but putting it into action is even better, such as running an experiment or doing a particular kind of art project whilst incorporating new skills. Often, kids are excited to tell their parents about what they did that day when learning is fun!

Indisputably, teaching is a career to love and be proud of. There will be days of frustration, but seeing my students become successful in life it feels an awesome fulfillment.
