Abstract
Passionate teachers are distinguished by their commitment to achievement of their students.
Commitment is an essential element of successful teaching. Committed teachers are concerned
with the development of their students and they profoundly struggle how to keep students’
learning. They cultivate students’ curiosity and interest in learning. Showing commitment to
student learning can be an important factor in motivating students. Committed teachers
recognize and endeavor to fulfill their responsibilities to their students. The degree of loyalty of
committed teachers have, toward their profession is one of their distinguished characters.
Teachers, who are engaged in their profession and committed to students and their learning,
play a crucial role in development of students.
Keywords: Passionate, Dedication, Commitment, Student Learning
Introduction
Passion matters in that it motivates and inspires the teachers. Passion is a motivational factor
that affects teacher performance. It drives the teachers for a better student accomplishment.
Passionate teachers create an effective learning environment and increase learning potential of
students. Passion leads to creativity; therefore, passionate teachers have the ability to think
and produce new notions in an easy way. Passionate teachers are committed and dedicated to
their schools and a good education achievement is an outcome of this commitment and
dedication.
Teacher Commitment and Dedication to Student Learning
“Those who feel the call to teach, who sense teaching is a profoundly meaningful past of their
life, have a passion for teaching” (Garrison, Liston, 2004, p.1). Passion simply is defined as: “a
strong inclination or desire towards an activity that one likes and finds important and in which
one invests time and energy” (Carbonneau, Vallerand, Fernet & Guay, 2008, p.978). Fried
defines a passionate teacher as: “someone in love with a field of knowledge, deeply stirred by
issues and ideas that change our world, drawn to the dilemmas and potentials of the young
people who come into class every day” (2001, p.44). For a high quality student learning passion
is indispensable. Olson states that “when we discover and explore our passions about teaching
and learning, and begin to share them with others, doors are opened, and the possibilities are

endless” (2003, p.305). One of the most important factors in the development of passion for
teaching is teachers’ ongoing commitment and dedica.
The shift from ‘me’ to ‘we’: Schools with a coaching culture build individual...Christine Hoyos
Developing all staff to coach each other accelerates adult learning, which, in turn, accelerates student learning. A key factor in the process is job-embedded support.
Teacher’s attitudes and strategies can be influenced by workplace
professional learning, which in turn affects student engagement and learning.
Although educators are accountable for their professional development, the
school must be learning-centered and able to provide resources for all
members of the institution to improve their teaching and learning skills for
the overall development of the school. The project's goal was to perform a
pilot intervention study on the impact of school director-led workplace
professional development for in-service teachers to provide evidence and
recommendations on the impact of school director-led workplace
professional development training for teachers. The intervention study on
school director-led workplace professional development training for teachers
on formative assessment indicates that there were significant changes in
teachers’ understanding and use of formative assessment. The result found
that there is statistical difference between the teacher’s pre- and postintervention
survey response on formative assessment workplace
professional development training. The evidence stands as a
recommendation for school directors, teachers, the ministry of education and
other stakeholders for quality teaching and whole school development.

Teacher induction, defined as inservice support for beginning teachers, is separate from preservice preparation and ideally serves as a bridge linking preservice and inservice education. Common objectives of teacher induction include teacher development, socialization into the profession, assessment of teaching effectiveness, and support in refining practic. Although programs vary between schools and context, they typically include a variety of activities such as orientation, classroom support, workshops, collaboration with colleagues, and mentoring (Ingersoll & Strong, 2011).
Teachers often struggle when inducted to the profession without a sufficient transitional period that allows them to practice their teaching skills prior to undertaking the responsibilities the job requires (Ganser, 2002). As a result, first year teachers are, on average, less effective than their more experienced colleagues (Rockoff, 2008). In analysis of data from the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) and the Teacher Follow-up Survey, Ingersoll and Merrill (2010) concluded that the majority of teachers are either beginners or nearing retirement. More than a quarter of teachers are in their first five years of teaching. Thus, the teacher force is on the verge of being expanded, replaced, and re-made (Ingersoll & Merrill, 2010).
Teaching is uncertain and interactional. Part of teaching well is using a combination of ones own talents, insights, skills, and professional judgments to encourage students learning and development. It is a very humanistic profession, and compassion is the utmost feeling of understanding, and showing others you are concerned about them. A compassionate teacher models that characteristic to the students with her/his actions, and as a result students will be more open to understanding the world around them. Teaching is difficult partly because classrooms are complex. First, teachers are required to serve in several roles. They need to serve as advocate, instructor, observer, evaluator, coach, activities director, supply master, tech support, and confidante, for instance. In their varied roles, teachers make many decisions about different kinds of issues. Teachers make hundreds of decisions per day. They need to think about students safety, their learning, and their other needs simultaneously, all while they also consider their own personal and professional issues. J.

According to literature review and the EU Energy Security and ICT Policy, the authors indicated that, the points of departure of the EU’s (European Commission 2007) energy policy was threefold: combating climate change, limiting the EU’s external vulnerability to imported hydrocarbons, and promoting growth and jobs, thereby providing secure and affordable energy for consumers. The main focus of the EU’s policy ideally was to move towards a single global regime and the mainstreaming of climate into other policies; and hence receiving a 20% portion out of the entire 2014–2020 EU budget. The focus at the urban level was to produce the greatest results in an energy-efficient effort that will integrate three sectors.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.

Abstract
Passionate teachers are distinguished by their commitment to
achievement of their students.
Commitment is an essential element of successful teaching.
Committed teachers are concerned
with the development of their students and they profoundly
struggle how to keep students’
learning. They cultivate students’ curiosity and interest in
learning. Showing commitment to
student learning can be an important factor in motivating
students. Committed teachers
recognize and endeavor to fulfill their responsibilities to their
students. The degree of loyalty of
2. committed teachers have, toward their profession is one of their
distinguished characters.
Teachers, who are engaged in their profession and committed to
students and their learning,
play a crucial role in development of students.
Keywords: Passionate, Dedication, Commitment, Student
Learning
Introduction
Passion matters in that it motivates and inspires the teachers.
Passion is a motivational factor
that affects teacher performance. It drives the teachers for a
better student accomplishment.
Passionate teachers create an effective learning environment
and increase learning potential of
students. Passion leads to creativity; therefore, passionate
teachers have the ability to think
and produce new notions in an easy way. Passionate teachers
are committed and dedicated to
their schools and a good education achievement is an outcome
of this commitment and
dedication.
Teacher Commitment and Dedication to Student Learning
“Those who feel the call to teach, who sense teaching is a
profoundly meaningful past of their
life, have a passion for teaching” (Garrison, Liston, 2004, p.1).
Passion simply is defined as: “a
strong inclination or desire towards an activity that one likes
and finds important and in which
one invests time and energy” (Carbonneau, Vallerand, Fernet &
Guay, 2008, p.978). Fried
defines a passionate teacher as: “someone in love with a field of
3. knowledge, deeply stirred by
issues and ideas that change our world, drawn to the dilemmas
and potentials of the young
people who come into class every day” (2001, p.44). For a high
quality student learning passion
is indispensable. Olson states that “when we discover and
explore our passions about teaching
and learning, and begin to share them with others, doors are
opened, and the possibilities are

endless” (2003, p.305). One of the most important factors in the
development of passion for
teaching is teachers’ ongoing commitment and dedication to
students and learning. Passionate
teachers are fiercely devoted to their work and greatly inspire
their students. “The strength of
any profession depends upon the degree of commitment of its
members. Teaching is no
exception” (Fox, 1964, p.18). It is widely accepted that a
distinguishing feature that teachers
have is, their dedication and commitment to the development of
student achievement.
Kushman (1992) and Rosenholtz (1989) in their studies put
forward the relationship between
4. teacher commitment and student achievement. Fried (2001)
supporting this idea states that
there is a strong connection between passionate teaching and the
quality of student learning
and explains the reasons as:
1. If students know that teachers get immersed in their subjects
and sets high standards for
students, they take their studies more seriously. At this point,
teaching ceases to be a job done
by force, and turns into an inspiration for students.
2. There is little chance of building a relationship based on
respect and trust between teacher
and student unless a collaborative learning environment and
willingness to take risks are not
created.
3. Students will not have motivation to learn as long as they do
not have a clear idea of how to
apply things they have learnt to their own lives.
Passionate teachers know that it is their role to encourage
students for an active learning and
concern themselves with promoting students’ intellectual and
moral development. Teachers
with passionate, work with enthusiasm, their dedication and
commitment increase, and they
believe in the importance of their job. “There are strong
empirical grounds for believing that
teachers can and do make a difference and that consistent high
quality teaching, supported by
strategic professional development, can and does deliver
dramatic improvements in student
learning” (Rowe, 2003, P.27). Commitment to teaching
contributes to teachers’ behaviors,
5. attitudes, perceptions and performances (Thapan, 1986).
Committed teachers have a tendency to perform the roles
effectively that their job requires
and to establish a good teacher-student relationship in
accordance with the professional
values. This approach facilitates student learning and
development of terminal behaviors.
However, in the clash of the career goals and values, and the
goals and values of school, the
importance of dedication and commitment increases. The basic
goals and values of teaching
profession effectively shape student behavior change in
accordance with the principles of
education sciences.
Fried (1995) states that teacher passionate can be seen in three
different areas.
1. Teachers may be passionate about their own subject
knowledge.
2. Teachers may be passionate towards events developing in the
world.
3. Teachers may have a passion for children.

Commitment to the institution in education manifests itself in
identifying with the school,
feeling like a part of the school, and being loyal to school. In
successful schools teachers have
commitment to school as well as their professions. Commitment
form a basis, propulsive force,
and resource in restructuring.
Education researchers list some characteristics of committed
teachers and principals for their
organizations as (Balcı,1993, p.56):
1. Teachers constantly should talk about developing teaching
approaches
2. Teachers and principals should continuously observe each
other’s performance, and evaluate
their own performances through these observations.
3. Teachers and principals should together supply education
materials
4. Teachers and principals should help each other with
development of teaching approaches.
Another factor that contributes to teachers’ commitment and
dedication is administrative
implementation. Compatible administrative implementation
strengthens teachers’
commitment. The desire of teachers spending more time at
school, making more effort for
school achievement, approving compatibility of administration
are among contributing causes
of commitment and dedication to school.
7. Among the factors that decide teachers’ commitment and
dedication degree are: interaction
between teachers, teacher-student relationship, the quality of
the work teachers do at school,
the compatibility of school administration. Teachers who have
commitment to school display
such attitudes as: being proud of the school he works for,
evoking a desire to work harder,
being interested in the future of the school.
Fried (2001) lists ten basic characteristics of a passionate
teacher as:
1. likes working with young people, and takes an interest in
knowledge and ideas
2. that students lack knowledge and skills cannot be an excuse
to decrease his feeling of
compassion for them.
3. cares about students
4. is aware of world issues, and current events in the classroom
and effectively reflects them in
his works at school
5. is serious and has sense of humor.
6. tolerates absurd and meaningless things that students exhibit
in their behaviors but at the
same time critical and very attentive to manners that students
must have.
7. avoids condemning ideas of unpopular and young people and
attempts to create a culture of
mutual respect.
8. takes risks; therefore, as much as any person makes mistakes
but derives lessons from
mistakes rather than ignore them.
9. endeavors to establish and maintain a learning environment
where students can learn from
their mistakes.
10. takes his missions seriously and reflects his ideas and
8. beliefs clearly.

Croswell and Eliot (2001, p.2) state that teacher commitment is
multidimensional and some
external factors may influence commitment degree:
1) the school or organization
2) students
3) career continuance
4) professional knowledge base
5) the teaching profession
What makes a teacher great?
Fried points out what makes a teacher great is(2001, p.54):
“This caring about ideas and values,
this fascination with the potential for growth within people, this
fervor about doing things well
and striving for excellence”.
Some important features of a great teacher:
1) Passion for teaching and learning: teaching with passion will
enable students to understand
9. effectively. Hargreaves writes: “ Pedagogical changes fail,
when they do not engage the
passions of the classroom” (Hargreaves, 1997, p.18). Passionate
teachers observe the quality of
learning achievement of students carefully and feeling that
efficiency in learning is not
accomplished, endeavor to teach using different approaches.
2) Respect for students: To build a better relationship respect
for students as individuals and
learners is essential in teaching profession. If students see the
teacher as caring, their
willingness to learn enhances.
3) Love of his profession: In the rapidly developing world,
without love of his profession
improvement in his field for the teacher does not occur. Passion
stems from teacher’s love of
his profession. Passionate teachers have a profound love for
teaching. “Perhaps they are in
love with every aspect of teaching” (Garrison and Liston, 2004,
p.1). A great teacher is informed
about new developments in his field and tries to keep abreast of
them to advance his skills and
knowledge base. Exhibiting enthusiasm for the subject matter
that he is teaching will feed
students’ excitement and interest. Teacher’s primary goal is to
cultivate students’ curiosity for
efficiency in learning. One of the most significant requirement
to teach effectively is good
knowledge of subject matter the teacher is teaching. Ferguson
and Womackl (1993) write:
“effective communication of content knowledge is a hallmark of
good teachers”
4) Being aware of the worth of schools in students’ lives: A
school is a place where students not
only learn but also gain real life experiences. Therefore,
passionate teachers do leadership in
10. every corner of the school in every field of learning.
5) Teacher cannot make any concessions to occupational ethics:
Great teachers have some
occupational ethics that they never divert from. They educate
students in accordance with this
approach.
6) Willingness for changes: Great teachers always search for
continuous professional
development. They always desire to be a good teacher and seek
to enhance the effectiveness
of teaching. Hansen writes: “A teacher who really ‘knows and
believes’ that teaching is

441
worthwhile will likely conduct him-or herself differently from a
teacher who has lost faith in the
endeavor or who resorts to expediency in the face of challenge”
(2001, p.56).
7) Willingness for Reflection: Great teachers reflect on their
commitment to student
achievement through seeking an opportunity to share the things
they have learnt.
8) Organizational Skills: Great teachers have effective
organizing skills. They know the right
thing to do. A passionate teacher knows and believes in what he
11. does.
9) Good communication is the foundation of a successful
relationship: Great teachers use
verbal and nonverbal communication skills effectively in giving
instructions, feedback and
providing students with knowledge. Rather than what they say,
great teachers convey more
messages to students through gestures, voice tones and their
locations in the classroom. A
passionate teacher knows how to speak to students’ hearts and
minds.
10) Collaboration: Great teachers collaborate with their
colleagues in the work environment to
promote student learning.
Conclusion
Passionate teachers are those who make great changes in our
lives. Their beliefs and vigorous
actions make us realize our inner values and bewitch us. Passion
contributes to teacher’s
motivation and performance. Passionate teachers have an affect
on student achievement.
There is a strong correlation between passionate teaching and
successful student learning.
Commitment, a sense of adherence, is a key factor that
influences learning process of students.

The Colorado Teacher Quality Standards
Excellent teaching is vital to every student’s success: teachers
have the
honored role of helping to prepare their students for the world
ahead.
To have maximum impact on student learning, teachers must
14. develop and
evolve along with their students. This involves self-reflection,
increased
levels of meaningful feedback on instructional practice and an
overall
commitment to continuously refining their craft.
Identifying the complex components of quality teaching is a
fundamental
step in supporting teachers’ professional growth as well as
developing a
fair and reliable evaluation process; both aspects of the Great
Teachers and
Leaders Act. The statewide Teacher Quality Standards provide
this shared
understanding of the essentials of great teaching—a common
vision.
Just as the Colorado Academic Standards provide common
expectations for
student learning, the Teacher Quality Standards outline the
knowledge and
skills required of an excellent teacher. They are the core of the
evaluation
process and offer a tool for teacher self-reflection, goal setting
and ongoing
professional growth.
The Teacher Quality Standards are foundational to providing
every student
with what they deserve—excellent teachers who are consistently
supported
in their efforts to improve their practice and influence student
learning in
new and powerful ways.
