The Discpline of a teacher that role models Children

Well today I want to discuss among others punctuality, dressing code and managing your class.

I want to emphasize that punctuality should be the source of discipline in class. In time is what determines success from failure. When you come to school all along you should have prepared yourself before what is a head of your for the day. You should be the first to be in your class to usher each child and welcome them to make feel at home in class. A good trainer welcomes, ushers and smiles into his/her class their children. Imagine after a long weekend and the children have somehow disconnected from the normal school routine realities and then even as they make their way to school on arrival, they get a welcome warmly from the teacher asking them about how they spent their weekends, did they go to church, their whereabouts of their families and lastly finishes with how the homework was done. In this scenario above the trainee walking in and receiving the pupils with such a wonderful compassionate reception strengthens the bond between the learner and the trainee. More so reporting in time, gives you an upper hand to plan lessons properly and get your schedules get focused as the new day unfolds. You cannot castigate your pupils for being late when yourself come in late, excusing yourself every other time and always apologizing. Planning your lessons gives you an additional confidence together resources imagine yourself conducting your class actively rather than imaginary.

Dressing code is an issue to most educators. They don’t seem to get it, most of them. My belief is that no trainee should make judgment of the dressing of the trainee. They should not be driven to see beyond the brains. The dressing code should be ethically accepted, formal and conservative. The dressing code should pass the judgment of the in-laws. Unwarranted exposure should be discarded and discouraged at all costs to ensure learners get their minds clean, attentive and focused. Ladies should desist from among others, short skirts, blouses, dresses showing cleavage and transparent attires. Mean should tuck their shirts properly, straight trousers with flat fly. The belt should be simple, executive not shouting. Tight and baggy trousers and tops should be avoided at all costs to make it easier for the children to concentrate.

Lesson plans should be followed strictly with not alternation, as they are on the timetable. All teachers should follow the timetable and coordinate lessons with strict adherence to the timing and programming. From established sources some teachers tend to alternate class lessons carelessly and they end up having some subjects “favorites” than others. “Favorite” subjects timetable are traded with less favorite leading to uncovering of some lessons at the end of the term. The schemes of work should be drawn and managed with professionalism. No substitution at all costs should be permitted to manipulate the system of coverage of the syllabus.
