What is a teacher to me?
WOW – what a question I think this is one that will take me a lot of refining.
An educator/teacher?
A teach turns on the lightbulb.
A teacher expands your context .
Asks the question that engages your brain. A teacher engages.
A teacher relates and connects information that the student does not see, yet.
The teacher must know how to effectively get the learning responses they are looking for. Questions open the mind. Stories bring about visualization. The mind is now living the event as if it is happening. Context is expanded and from that point on the mind will now begin to see things that associate with that story. No matter what the subject. A teacher engages the Reticular Activation System (RAS).
A teacher has to have ability to be disciplined to build the students mind through repetition. The reason I say teacher’s ability is because the teacher must have these habits to do the task daily as well.
The teacher is often a facilitator – the runner of the room. The emcee, the thought leader. The best part is that the teacher ultimately does not need to have any answers and can learn much more from the students.
The teachers job is to motivate, reinforce positive behaviors, encourage, turn on light bulbs, teach perspectives, empathize and sympathize…be the bridge.
Difference between a teacher and an author?
An author is someone who you spend time with for the length of time reading the book and then maybe a couple references. That is unless you read the book within a club or seminar – where you spend extra time and you are engaged in this learning process. Connections are made to other parts of your life and distinctions are made on.
