SPEECH : CRITERIA OF AN IDEAL TEACHER

When talking about being an ideal teacher, there is a myriad of perspectives of what an idea teacher is.
Even I, as a teacher, have my own point of view of the criteria of an ideal teacher.
Firstly, for me, an ideal teacher is one who can be a motivator to her pupils. With the awareness
that the pupils come from different backgrounds, have different personalities and so on, an ideal
teacher should know how to give an apt motivation to each pupil. She needs to know that different pupil
require different kinds of motivations as they would definitely face different kind of problems. So, being
a good motivator is essential to be an ideal teacher.
Then, I also think that an ideal teacher should be an idol for her pupils. Some say that teachers
are childrens role model. Thus, based on this, an ideal teacher should know how to act, dress, speak,
walk or even talk correctly in front of her pupils, for all these aspects are actually being observed by
them. I always hold on one principle; once a teacher, always a teacher. Therefore, in everything we
do, an ideal teacher should do it like how a teacher is supposed to do.
After that, an ideal teacher also needs to know how to be less egoistic. It is common for humans
to think that they are right even if the others have told them their wrongs. Nevertheless, to be an idea
teacher, one should know to admit her mistakes in front of the pupils. For instance, if the teacher is
teaching a wrong thing and one pupil rises and corrects her, she must accept that with an open mind
and heart. This is actually how a teacher can improve herself, hence leading to be an ideal teacher
before the pupils eyes.
Lastly, one important criterion of an ideal teacher that I believe all teachers must have is being
loving and caring towards the children. With the fact in mind that we are handling children, thus we
cannot run away from being loving and caring towards them. Children need that crucial love and care
from their teacher, especially those who do not get these at home. Simply asking them if they are fine or
simply treat them a meal once in a while is sufficient to portray our love and care towards the children.
This would definitely make them appreciate us more.

In conclusion, there are many ways to be an ideal teacher. There are also many views of how an
ideal teacher should be. However, the points above are examples of my own perspectives of an ideal
teacher. Above all, we must bear in mind that we work with humans and not machines, thus being the
best for them is indeed vital and essential.
