Education is an umbrella term for countless aspects like
curriculum, teachers/instructors, students, learning materials,
assessments and
evaluations, schools/institutions, pedagogy, extracurricular activities,
policies, etc. Among them, the role of the teacher has an excessive
value. A teacher
should have a dynamic character because according to my point of view, a
classroom
is a place where we cannot predict things happening. The teacher who
plays the role of the sole instructor of the class can switch his or her
role into a controller, the role model, or the mentor of a classroom.
Whatever
the role you play, reflecting on your teaching at the end of the day is
mandatory
because that predicts the teacher’s and student’s progress. Also, when
teaching,
the teacher should be mindful to bridge the lesson with its practical
use. That
is why the communicative teaching approach should be incorporated when
teaching. I believe, a classroom is not a place where only the subject
matters are
taught. Equity, equality, inclusivity, and diversity are significant
values
to practice. Initiating to cultivate these values, collaborative
learning, differentiating
instructions, and concepts like scaffolding, ZPD, and MKO that are
embedded in sociocultural
theory (Vygotsky, 1978) can be practiced within the classroom to foster a
positive
learner-friendly environment in the classroom.
Not every student pays the same interest in your lesson. You have to be smart to deliver the lesson hiding in the aspects students are interested in. This is one way to reinforce students for learning.
