It is said that "half-knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge"; an awareness that is not full is of no use and can also damage the existing balance of knowledge. This explains the importance and necessity of a wholesome education system that requires questioning the validity of myths. The gift of knowledge and wisdom is such that it requires special people to impart them to us. It is the expertise and a wide range of knowledge and experience that is required for an “instructor” or a “teacher” to impart these valuables to their pupils. Previously or say, during the ancient times, the teachers or gurus had ages and ages of experience via meditation and traveling, after which they imparted their discourse and experiences to their disciples and pupils. However, this is not the case with teachers nowadays, nor do they require to meditate or travel before teaching it to the students, and that is why teachers’ training is a must to familiarize teachers with the types of lessons, values, and virtues they are about to share with the students. The profession of teaching has always been considered a noble as well as a responsible one. The demands and expectations from them have, however, changed over the times owing to the socio-political, economic, and geographic alterations. The teachers today have the gift of science and technology, which has made the availability of information not only easy but convenient also. But then, that way anybody can be a teacher, but can everyone be a teacher? This is where the value of training and practicing requires because not everyone has the quality of being a teacher which requires selflessness, affection, patience, empathy, knowledge, and wisdom in abundance, presence of mind, and a strong unwavering personality that the students get inspired by every day. Not only teaching, but the way of learning has also changed over the years, along with that curriculum which was used previously had witnessed few changes in them with the demands of time. Time has always been a huge contributor and agent in any developmental infrastructure because of which it has become important to be in pace with it. When you teach and discuss the things that are trending, the student will be updated about the knowledge and this will promote awareness. To support the title of the article, here are some points explaining why is teacher training must:
A teacher might or might not be able to answer all the questions of the curious students but should know how to handle and respond. For this, one has to be updated with all the knowledge. Apart from that, the teacher should not feel insecure and inadequate of not being able to know the answer immediately but should have the interest and zeal to look into it as frequently as possible. The way you respond, and answer determines the attitude of students in future classes.
Apart from being taught how to teach, a teacher should also be trained as a counselor and a therapist. A student spends the first half of 6 to 7 hours at school and can have a mental breakdown of any kind. It can be due to peer pressure, familial issues, pressure about tests and examinations, and everything attached to teenage years. The teacher here is advised neither to ignore nor to freak out as now these children are under their responsibility and should handle the situation with utmost calm and composure.
Teachers and schools are considered the ultimate source of good manners and values. They provide the personality development training which is imparted in between classes and in instances, not as a whole. Good values imparted in between classes as examples and stories tend to be imprinted forever than a separate personality development class; something which is very significantly advised by trainers during training sessions to teachers.
School life teaches you or says provides you with an involuntary routine that you follow for certain years. Apart from this, you will start to consciously adopt this routine for a disciplined lifestyle so that one can manage their work on time.
Teachers who are sensitive about equal rights will have an inclusive teaching atmosphere in the class where even the weakest of the student will be involved in the learning process. They promote interactive sessions and group studies so that students have a friendly gesture towards everyone and the strongest can help the weakest.
A student apart from his/her grades is known by his behavior, attitude, personality, and his approach and ideologies of life. This is very significant in personality development training. Teachers during their training sessions are constantly reminded to train their students with mental strength. The role of teachers has increased over the years and the fact that the level of strictness and stringent behavior has declined over the years should be navigated in the right direction. This liberty of openness between the teachers and students should be recognized and utilized to build a better learning experience and yield powerful and responsible future citizens.
