Teaching as your vocation, mission and profession

 

TEACHING AS YOUR VOCATION, 

                                                  MISSION AND PROFESSION

Everyone who deserves to be called a professional teacher has made one of the most important dreams of a lifetime come true. Anyone who is engaged in teaching is motivated to pursue achieving a purpose, to provide opportunities for self-fulfillment and most importantly, to express love, care and compassion for children

Teaching is more than a noble profession. The teacher is the mostimportant person in any civilization, as on him depends the molding of the nation.There are not many born teachers, but there are those who love teaching, andthere are those who enter it as an occupation. The chief qualification for ateacher is his or her love for children; from there can follow the training by goodteachers and professors of techniques and principles. Good teacher-pupilrelationship is very important.

Teaching is a vocation, a calling. It is not a profession that you train for much as you learn how to train a dog. It is a job that many feel driven to do andone that can be edifying and, as the voices in Teachers Who Change Livesattest, deeply satisfying. The enduring, memorable pedagogues - those whohave changed your life just a little bit - take risks. 

Great teachers, those who have the X factor, are not beholden to theconventions of the classroom. They do not have to power dress or slog away athigher degrees to shinny up promotion's slippery pole. They instruct but they alsotouch hearts and minds while leading children to believe they can see things andgo places they've never experienced before.

Unlike any other profession, teaching requires dedication and service in order for an individual to be considered as a real teacher. That’s the reason why

teaching should not just be treated as a simple profession but also a serious vocation where other people and service is over self and salary.

Teaching is also mission, an assigned task. We are expected to write our “accomplishment report” at the end of our mission.

 

Teaching is also a profession. It is our way of rendering service tohumanity. The quality of our professional service is determined to a very greatextent on our long and arduous period of preparation, continuing professionaleducation, and our commitment to ethical and moral values. If we giveprofessional quality service, then mediocrity has no place. If we live up to our name as a professional teacher, a meaningful and fulfilled life will not be far behind.
