Not everyone can teach or impart
knowledge. Teaching is an art. To excel, the classroom teacher should possess
relevant skills necessary in facilitating learning and influence behaviours of
his students. Generally, humans are complex beings, and no two humans behaves
exactly the same way. Theories that apply to one many not necessarily apply to
the other. This is the challenge the classroom teacher faces everyday. Granted,
there are some teachers who know the art of teaching excellently without going
through the formal training process of his profession.
I know of a teacher in Brother
Pius School who is highly valued because of his art of teaching. He studied
Business Administration in the University. He is loved by all including his
pupils. Also, he is well paid. There are so many examples of teachers in this
category. However, this is not to say that trained teachers perform poorly in class. Indeed,
such training can help to horn their skills for effective performance.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Some teachers
are born while others are made. If you hold a contrary opinion, be free to
offer your comment.
