An Effective Teacher
like a parent realizes that students will not be with them forever and
therefore, always work with the goal of seeing them graduate. This viewpoint is
future focused and motivates how students are taught, communicated with and
developed.
The student who is
falling behind is encouraged and assisted with catching up. The student with a
personality and temperament which is not best suited for society and the
workforce is coached along so that their future is not challenged by the
character flaws which were not confronted in their past. The future focused
teacher helps students prepare for expressed goals, whether in college or a
career. They direct learning and
training towards that end and keeps the vision of endless possibilities before
them. This type of teacher prepares the students for the world, with a healthy
dose of reality and a strong desire for achievement and success in their chosen
endeavors.
