A professional teacher is a tutor or teacher who imparts knowledge to students. Since education is the foundation of national development, we need a professional teacher to teach and pass on this knowledge to students and the future generation in all fields of human endeavor.

To become a professional teacher, you must have gone through teacher training colleges, polytechnics, universities to acquire the basic teaching skills and obtain a certificate as a teacher.

Meanwhile, let us now see how to teach and impart knowledge to students.

1 LESSON PLAN – A teacher should have a lesson plan detailing the topics, timing or duration, and objectives of the lesson.

2 LESSON NOTE: The teacher should have planned lesson notes and prepare them according to the lesson plan and outline and syllabus. This is written up and sent to the principal or principal for correction and approval before teaching.

3 TEACHERS INTRODUCTION: A teacher first introduces himself to the students by telling them their names with smiles, praise, and enthusiasm, while the students also say their names to the teacher.

4 SCHEDULE: the teacher provided the schedule that must be followed to carry out their duty daily.

5 PERIOD COVERED-/HOUR-There must be a specific period of time for each subject to be taught. The ideal time or duration is 45min-period of one hour for easy assimilation.

6 TEACHING METHOD: the teacher must adopt a teaching method to convey the message to the students. There are several teaching methods among which are listening methods, question and answer methods, game methods, descriptive methods and experimental methods, etc. The teacher should adopt simple methods that students can easily understand.

7 REVIEW OF PREVIOUS LESSON TAUGHT- The previous lesson taught should be reviewed by the teacher before beginning to teach a new topic on the topic to record students’ understanding of the topic. The teacher should record any problems identified and resolved before moving on to the topic or matter of the day.

8 MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION- The teacher must measure and evaluate the assimilation rate of the students to know if the students really understand the lesson taught.

9 QUESTION AND ANSWER TIME – The teacher should provide time for questions and answers between himself and the students, then correct errors when necessary.

10 TEST ADMINISTRATION: Students must be given a test at the end of each lesson to assess their level of understanding and immediately scored and recorded as continuous assessment for the student.

11 GOOD RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TEACHER AND THE STUDENTS-The teacher must respond to students on issues that require urgent attention. Don’t ignore student questions. Answer the questions easily either good or bad but give them a positive answer and in case you can’t find the answer to your questions give them an assignment while you have time to look for the solution before next period or class. Please don’t give them a wrong answer because their future is on the foundation of today.

12 TEACHING MATERIALS: The teacher should have well-designed teaching materials to show students about the topic. Help students register their interest and make learning more interesting and memorable.

13 GIFTED AND NON-GIFTED STUDENTS-Some students are more gifted than others in learning, therefore the teacher should try to identify gifted and less gifted students and separate them paying more attention to the less gifted student so that the class is balanced .

14 HOMEWORK: The teacher should give students homework on a regular basis to keep them busy and master the topics or lesson. The teacher must correct the task as soon as possible.

15 EXAM- The teacher must administer an exam quarterly or at the end of each academic session to measure the rate of student performance and eligibility for promotion to the next class or for promotional purposes. This causes them to graduate from one class to the other. It’s very important.

16 RECORDS AND JOURNALS-Teacher must obtain logs and journals to record student names daily. it is done according to classes and is graded daily to determine late arrivals and absenteeism among students.

17 CLASSROOM SEARCHES BY TEACHERS-It is the duty of teachers to inspect students and the classroom before beginning a new day of work or instruction. Verify that the clothing and uniform of the students are in good condition and also the personal hygiene among the students, such as neatness, hairstyle, nails, teeth, etc. This helps promote a good and healthy learning environment while teaching.

Above all, since teaching provides us with good employment and sources of income, let teachers wake up from their responsibilities and positively affect and impact students because they are the future leaders.

Tomorrow, many students taught by these masters will emerge as doctors, engineers, lawyers, high-end business icons, and much more.

Meanwhile, I am a professional teacher for many years with a wealth of experience in both the public and private sectors, I have attended many seminars and workshops on school administration and I know what it takes to become a professional teacher.

So, be a good teacher that your students respect you and leave a legacy for them to follow in the future.
