Children are the future of the world. They are going to be the leaders of tomorrow and are going to make choices that will directly affect our generation. Children are pliable, so it 's up to us to mold them well and send them in the right direction. However, who specifically is going to mold these children? At six to eight hours a day, five days a week, teachers are positioned to become one of the most influential people in a child’s life. After their parents, children will first learn from their teachers. Jerusha Connor, an education professor at Villanova University, said "Ample qualitative research shows that a single teacher can shape the course of a young person’s future, for better or worse,”. ( citation) Teachers have a massive influence on children, which is why they are so important. Anyone who can read, write or solve an equation has a teacher to thank. So much of what we know about the world comes from our teachers who equipped us with knowledge, skills and wisdom.
Almost everyone has been impacted or influenced by a teacher they 've had in their lifetime. Teachers are important due to their influential positions early in a child 's life and they obviously influence the curriculum the students are learning and how they learn it. They also influence children by creating strong relationships. Because they possess this great power to guide and mold, they can impact how much students will learn. In a 2012 study The RAND Corporation, a leading research nonprofit,

Many people have different passions, some might share the same ones while others might have some that no one has heard of before. Mine would have to be anything that had to do with working with kids. I love teaching them, babysitting them, and even playing with them, it's a new and different experience every time. I find it amazing that you could learn more than you think from someone who is 10+ years younger than you. They can teach you the smallest things that you never realized they could. For example how they treat everyday like a new one, they don't focus on the past events from the previous day they always have a fresh look on things; which can be hard to do as you grow older. Children have this energy to them that can’t be found in adults
In an interview with a local elementary school teacher Elizabeth Romero, when asked the question “Why teach at the elementary level versus teacher higher up such as high school or college?” , She responded with the answer “ I believe that in this time of the kids life is the most influential. If I as a teacher can teach these kids the rights things to do and prepare them for the future than I believe that they all can do great things with their lives.” Mrs. Romero began teaching at the age back in 2004 originally teaching high school. She realized that there was only a select few who chose to excel in their studies. In her words “…some were what some would call lost causes but there were only a select few who put real efforts into their studies.” It was at that moment that

Have you ever heard the phrase it takes a village to raise a child? If you consider the lives of most children, it really does take a village to raise a child. Most children have a mom, a dad, grandparents, teachers, aunts, uncles, family, friends and more that are a part of their life and that somehow influence their lives. I personally think it is the responsibility of all adults that are in a child’s life to help them grow into a well-rounded individual. Especially a teacher.
“A good teacher not only improves a child’s test scores in the classroom, but also enhances his/her chances to attend college, earn more money and try and create a steady future for ourselves” (Bennett). Bennett is saying that a teacher can shape and create a child’s future for them. With the help of teachers, they change students for the better and provide help and teach our future leaders. This impact they have on us may only be a short-term impact because most students have their teachers for a school year and when that school year is over they almost all leave and never look back. They are shown as role models, they direct us to have a good education. Teachers will be always there for you if you need it, with personal life and school life. “This impact involves not only the teaching of particular academic skills, but as importantly, the fostering of student self-esteem. Reinforcing self-esteem in the classroom is associated with increased motivation and
In any school, student learning is the ultimate goal and the focus of an effective learning community. In today’s society, the education system is called upon to teach all students at high levels. It has been established through significant research that teachers have a high impact on student learning, according to the RAND Corporation, “research suggests that, among school-related factors, teachers matter most. When it comes to student performance on reading and math tests, a teacher is estimated to have two to three times the impact of any other school factor, including services, facilities, and even leadership.”
The teachers do so much for us spending hours upon hours invested in our future. There are about nine hundred trillion teachers on this earth. Ample knowledge being passed down generation to
“It is amazing how complex kids are,” Ramallo said. “When you’re in the classroom you’re with these kids more than their parents are..Teachers are such a lifeline for kids.”
This child observation will draw on a child developmental theory to discuss the activities of the child I have observed. I will comment on the child’s physical growth and development, cognitive abilities, health, social relationships and emotional wellbeing. I will also look at the child’s interaction with other children and adults , in order to appreciate the child’s development and account for differences and similarities as proffered by my chosen theory of Attachment.
The education habits of students are rooted in them from the earliest days of their educational careers. The different influences on students, whether it be inside educational institutions, or outside is huge. The teacher of a classroom is the first and most pertinent influence in a student's educational career. Teachers provide students with the basic skills they would need to survive not only in the academic world, but also the world beyond. The relationship between teachers and their students is the key element in creating an educational atmosphere that is both pleasant and effective.
I consider and know that children are the future of our world; we have to know how to teach and educate them adequately so they could be prepared to lead future generations. I consider that each child has its own way of learning; there are multiple ways in which a person could be intelligent and capable of completing tasks. I want to be able to help children with everything they need. I want to motivate them to do and be the best in every task and area, everything that they dream and think about, to persuade their dreams and never give up no matter how hard they think it is or how difficult becomes trough the way. I don’t want to be the type of teacher that goes through the school year teaching what I have to and limit my capabilities to show them things and lessons useful for their lives, I want every child that goes to my classroom, leave it at the end of the year with instructions or lessons that make them better persons. Additionally, think that it’s important to have a good balance between discipline and kindness with students, it’s important to have a good relationship with the students because in that way is easier to communicate with them; if they have any problems or trouble learning a lesson or something in the content, if they have a good communication and relationship with you, it will be easier for them to tell you about what is causing them trouble. In some cases, when the educator is strong and teaches with hard discipline, the students tend to evade them and
Let children be children, is not only a popular phrase heard in education, but it is also my motto. Yes, it is true, today’s children are tomorrow’s future; but how we choose to raise our children determines the outcome of our future. Many believe academics should be stressed more in schools, taking away from children’s playtime. I feel that play is what molds a child. Play allows not only a child’s imagination to run freely, but builds and strengthens children’s motor, language, cognitive, and social emotional development skills. I believe that play; along with parental involvement forms a child’s identity. Play is what makes children: tomorrow’s future.
