I'm a college student taking the course BEED. These are my perceptions of being a teacher. I hope it will escalate as I go through my course.

1. ESSENCE OF BECOMING
A TEACHER
(PERSPECTIVE OF A COLLEGE STUDENT)
BY: JAYSON M. ADO

2. TEACHERS INSPIRE THEIR STUDENTS TO
DO GREAT THINGS.
•Being a teacher is becoming a role model for
your students. Competence starts on the
teacher.

3. TEACHERS SHOWS INTEREST ON THEIR
STUDENTS’ LIVES EVEN IF IT IS OUTSIDE
THE SCHOOL.
•Teachers should be engage with their job
and the well-being of their students 24/7.

4. STUDENTS CAN RELY ON A DEPENDABLE
TEACHER.
•If a student have a problem about their
materials, they will go to the most reliable
teacher they knew to seek help. Helping
students will build a great teacher-student
relationship.

5. TEACHERS HELP THE STUDENTS TO BE
YOUNG ADULTS.
•Teachers teach the appropriate values that
their students can use when they reached the
stage of adulthood.

6. TEACHERS SHOULD MAKE A GREAT
CONTENT THAT EVERY STUDENT CAN
RELATE TO.
• According to teach.com, students love to have an
engaging lesson, the one that they can relate to.
It’s not enough to be funny or entertaining,
remember a teacher mold their students to
become competent individuals in the future.

7. A GREAT TEACHER INTERACT WITH THEIR STUDENTS.
• An interactive lesson is delightful for the teacher
and the student. A great teacher strive to be
interactive and engaging as much as possible.

8. THE TEACHER GUIDES THE STUDENTS TO
BE AN INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUAL.
• The teachers teach their students to read, to write,
to solve problems but in the end of the day the
teachers should remind their student that they are
the one who did those tasks. The teachers are just
present to guide their students.

9. TEACHERS SHOULD CHALLENGE THEIR
STUDENT TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN
THEY CAN DO.
• Brilliance comes from hard work. A great teacher
gives their students challenges that is rewarding
when it is solved. If a problem is challenging, the
student will exert more effort than they used to.
These efforts will determine the strengths and the
weaknesses of the students.

10. A GREAT TEACHER CONNECTS WITH PEOPLE.
•It’s not the subject matter but it is the
relationship that can be cherish.

11. “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher
explains. The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires.”
― William Arthur Ward
