THE KIND OF A TEACHER I WANT TO BE IN 21st CENTURY 2

What kind of teacher do I wish to be in this 21st century? Before answering this

question I would like to say that as a trainee teacher I am very excited to perceive one day I

would be a teacher attending to my students. I have been thinking of the job shadowing

excitement, planning, lessons as well as my graduation with teachers licensure. My passion and

interest in this field makes me think about my classroom, how I would decorate it as well as how

I would like it to appear. However what is most significant to me is the type of teacher am

hoping and striving to become.

I am hoping to be the teacher who inspires students, support, and understand them. I

would help my students realize that regardless of their situations in life they will always have

that person who can listen to them and guide them. Students come from very challenging

backgrounds ranging from family to financial issues, and these are the things that distract them in

school. I hope to make the students feel they are not alone and I would support and guide them

through their struggles that are distracting them at school.

I hope to be that teacher who not only teaches the student's syllabus to pass their exams

but the one who to teach them to be great people with high values and the ones who the

community can depend. I hope to be that teacher who will raise future lawyers, scientist, doctors,

engineers, and politicians who have values and virtue that will always do what is right. As that

teacher, I would also connect my students with mentors who will speak to them, encourage them

and show them the right path to achieve all that they desire. I would develop a suitable

environment for the community and the parents in order establish a pleasant atmosphere for the

students both at home and at school.

I hope to be a teacher who will use the delegator or group style teaching strategy (Wyatt,

2014). Considering the technology in this age, I would guide my students and inspire them by

working in tandem toward achieving common goals. By this, I would push my students to do

their best while making learning enjoying, exciting and creative. I would use video in class for

instructional purposes. I would also use technology, for instance, the CD-ROMs as well as the

internet for the inquiry-based learning to be interactive during classes and help my students

engage in inquiry.

To use culturally responsive pedagogy, I would have high expectation to all my students,

maintaining as well as tending to have the integrity of students culture (Taylor and Sobel, 2011).

Moreover, identifying and cultivating academic success and excellence. I would have to be

aware and alert of my biases as a role model. I would use cultural diversity images during the

classes. Moreover being collaborative is another way would use culturally responsive pedagogy

and here is when I would call mentors, as well as the members of the community from diverse

backgrounds to share firsthand knowledge, expertise and experience.

In conclusion I would commit myself to improve conditions as well making the students

perceive themselves as global players participating reflectively. I would provide additional

certification and triage that is focused on global competence. Being that teacher I am hoping to

become, I would also prepare my students for global marketplaces as I develop their knowledge

and cross-cultural expertise.
