The Teacher As Role Models

Within the six traits of building relationship described in The Skillful Teacher: Acknowledging, Communicating Value, Respect, Demonstrate Fairness, Exhibit Realness, Humor and Fun are all traits that I have practice before with CoaH students. I think the three have used to build my strongest student relationships are Communicating value , respect and exhibit realness. One very strong student relationship that I had during my first two years here at CoaH was with one of my tutorial student Laury Alexandre. When I first met Laury in September of 2013 we did not start off on a great foot. She and the rest of her group had a lot of push back. They really tested me in the beginning to year. Laury went afar as giving me the silent treatment for 3 weeks. I think the one situation that really brought us to an understanding of each other was after progress reports for first quarter when Laury got a B in one of her classes. She was very upset crying hard it was afterschool I went to comfort her and took her aside listened to her issues and comforted her. The next day she sent me an email thanking me for trying to make her feel better even though she was being very unpleasant towards me in tutorial. She write that it must have been hard to care about some else’s feeling when they treats you so badly and that I must really be very good person. I write back to her that was not difficult at all and that I had nothing to put aside to help her that I enjoyed her very much as a student even

We all have a personal code of ethics that we follow. This code of conduct is formed in our experiences and relationships as we have matured into adults. For me, my code of ethics is based on my Christian upbringing and personal life experiences. As Christians, we cannot hide our faith. If we truly believe in Christ and desire to follow Him, then our faith should impact every aspect of our lives, including the personal code of ethics that we turn to every day of our lives. We should not be turning our faith on for Sunday morning and then back off again for the rest of the week. As teachers, God has given us an important area of influence, and we have the awesome responsibility and privilege to be a light in this dark world.

Many students come to school without a solid moral and ethical foundation because it has not been a priority at home. The lack thereof must not be used as an excuse. Educators must assume the responsibility to be effective caregivers, moral models, and ethical mentors. Successful character education is an integral part of a school’s culture, most effective when the virtues are integrated into the academic curriculum (Dean, 2014).

After reading the Arkansas Code of Ethics, I will now have an idea of how to model my teaching career in positive way. Because of my Christian raising, I have a sense of strong morals and values. Throughout my life, I have tried to set high standards of morals for myself. Wanting to be a teacher is just one way that I can become a better person; I want to help raise the next generation of people to be good, productive members of society. Being entrusted with the welfare of children is a great responsibility, which should not be taken for granted. The Standards from the Arkansas Code of Ethics which I chose to write about are Standards One, Two, Four, and Eight.

Recently, those within education have begun to focus on not only teaching content, but also helping children to develop socially, emotionally and morally. Many teachers use activities in the classroom can help to improve students ability to develop their social identity, their emotional recognition, and their moral values. Furthermore, these types of activities can be useful for teachers in helping to establish an open, safe classroom environment where students can expand on their values and beliefs in a comfortable way. One activity that has commonly been used to improve these abilities is morality based questioning.

As a Training Consultant (TC) and teacher my main role and responsibilities are to educate and deliver effective training and impart my skills and knowledge in my specialist area which is Childcare. This is needed to support the learner either directly or indirectly and to maintain an inclusive, fair/just and motivating learning environment. I understand that as a teacher I am primarily responsible for the health and safety also the moral and physical welfare of my students/learners. I am also responsible for teaching students with Special Educational Needs. I provide Training to Learners within their workplace which can be either in a nursery, a school, Residential Care

Teaching children morals and ethics today is important because it shows someone with innocence how to care, listen, and reason without prejudice. In this teaching, it becomes obvious that we, as adults, have stopped listening, caring, and even reasoning; an act that, if performed, can change the world for the better.

Everyone was taught the difference between right and wrong at some point in their life, however, reinforcing such behavior is essential to ensure that people don’t lose touch as to how to make ethical decisions that may directly affect them in the future. After reviewing the TEA Code of Ethics, I believe the document reinforces ethical behavior that an educator should adhere to in a school environment. Additionally, the Code of Ethics is a set of standards that are used to judge ethical conduct. Therefore, the educator has to have a strong commitment to the students they serve as well as a strong commitment to their profession. By having a strong commitment to the students, the educator is ensuring that all students have an opportunity

Infants are taught to show respect to adults along with other people by morals. Parents fight to enforce these values into their children for their own personal good with establishing what’s considered right and wrong. Moral values teach an individual that being honest improves the chance to be recognized while achieving their goals. The important role in moral values is overall stability.

What whole child means to me is to educate our students better and give them a brighter future. I believed that children should be taught moral behaviors because, now a day’s children have become more disrespectful towards their teachers. The children do not want to learn any more. May be schools focus to much on having perfect scores in math and reading. No test score defines a child. Math and reading should be subjects to help students but what about the real-life skills. Now, I am not saying reading and math should not be taught in school. What I am really saying is to focus on helping the students to learn real life skills that will help them in the real world. If we teach our children life skills, they will be prepared for the real world.

Moral education is most successful when it is passive and indirect. Morals are a set of principles for right and wrong

The teacher can build a positive relationship with the children and families. They can do that by communicating with the families, what values they feel are important to their child and the values that the school believes for the children. (Essa, 2014, p.358) This can help the teacher be more knowledgeable of what values need to be worked on for the child and explain to the families why it’s important to encourage that value for their child. So if honesty was a value that needed to be taught, the teacher can read a story about the

Many people today that feel that public schools are, at least in part, responsible for providing students with the education in areas such as morality, ethics, and the good citizenship they need to know. At this point, character education programs have been created. Most public schools do not have character education programs, therefore the students that are enrolled in public schools are not learning character. Answering the call, numerous character education programs have been created by private organizations, state and local school boards, and corporations that have designed curricula, created lessons, and provide the tools necessary for schools to provide character education to their students. Schools are slowly adding character programs to their school to provide the students with an education that they will use forever

The goal of education is to impart knowledge, wisdom, life skills, morals and values into the multitude of students we teach. This obligation is not only directed toward our work with students but is indicative of how we should strive to function each and every day as educators serving with high ethical standards. There is a lot of pressure on teacher during the high-stakes testing season but this should not influence educators to behave in any manner that would be unethical for any reason.

Moral education is a programme of study which teaches the pupil about behaving in accordance with what is good while rejecting the bad. It is a holistic approach to stimulate character building and moral development (Okoh;
