      Characteristic Features and Educational Structure of a Teacher

      Beloved people, Pedro Arrupe of the Society of Jesus was our General. He was arrested on Christmas and placed in a prison. It was very despondent for him. While his heart was pounding at the thought that he could not even make a holy mass on the day of Christ's birth, tears welled up in his eyes as his loving students sang the song Silent night, holy night from the side of the wall behind the prison. Alas! I have lost my hope and my students have given me hope he was excited. He celebrated Christmas happily from within, even when he was in prison at the time. –Rev. Dr Godwin Rufus S.J.

      Education contributes much to human resource development and human life. Advances in education play an important role in the development of a country. The prosperous future of a country depends on the education provided to its people. It is therefore imperative that every teacher specializes in his or her service based on the purpose of creating future leaders. In that sense, the role of teachers currently involved in educational activities in schools is very important. The purpose of this article is to help each teacher better understand his or her purpose and to better manage the characteristics of the teachers in the school.

      No country can rise above the qualifications of its teachers. So the rise and fall of a country are left to its teachers. The future of the Indian nation is determined within the four walls of the classroom. Education is the determinant of people's progress and well-being in the developing world of science and technology. Teachers are the representatives who make this education quality and contribute to the development of the country. Teacher education assists teachers to acquire teaching skills. The quality of education that students receive depends on the effective quality of education that teachers receive. The primary responsibility for creating future good citizens rests with the teacher. The teacher is responsible for teaching the subject matter to the students and developing various skills such as understanding, insight, personality development, information gathering, communication and application of what is learned. It is the responsibility of the teacher to develop the skills to explore and solve the problems that the student may face in their life. The teacher should be supportive in cultivating goodwill and interest and in developing patriotism among the students. No one can fully list the responsibilities of a teacher to the school and the community. No one can fully define where the teacher’s importance, influence, usefulness, and guidance end. The work of the teacher is multifaceted.

      Specialization of a Teacher:

      A good teacher is a technologist, a pioneer, a mentor, a representative of change, an analyst, an effective implementer of education programmes, a positive thinker and also a good man. Education is not just about providing information and experience. It is the development of habits, attitudes and skills that help one to live a fulfilling life. Teachers who are responsible for providing such an excellent education should set an example in teaching others. He should lead the children with the care and should love what he teaches and must set an example to guide the society

      To be a role model he must have at least the following characteristics.

      1. Being a collective personality trait.

      2. Being able to understand the feelings of the students.

      3. Being self-conscious and creative.

      4. Being dedicated to the work he does.

      5. Being able to get used to smooth and maintain constructive relationships.

      Personality trait:

      The teacher must have leadership qualities and must have personality traits such as punctuality, politeness, dressing sense, mannerisms, clarity in speech, majesty in speech and seminal thinking. He should treat the students in a good way with unity. His strictness and kindness will make students listen to what he has to say.

      Understanding students' feelings:

      Teachers are the second parents of children. The children have high expectations of the teacher next to the father and mother. So the teachers must live up to those expectations since children spend most of the day with their teacher. Since school is the beginning of social life for the student, there is much more to learn besides the curriculum. The teacher needs to be very caring and sympathetic to the students as their talents need to be nurtured. Compassion and empathy are the things that make a teacher successful.

      Self-consciousness and creativity:

      In today’s competitive world, there are plenty of ideas that students need to know. The messages given in the textbook are the starting point of great work. It only gives the learner the gist of many new theories. A model teacher should therefore be trained to come up with innovative ideas and apply them.

      Involvement in work:

      Education is the activity among the learner, the educator, and the social environment. Learning and teaching is an integrated miracle activity. In this, the teacher has to act as an activist and get the value of the students. Teachers need to work diligently and with a sense of commitment. A person who is genuinely interested in teaching should come down to the mentality of the learner and connect and nurture their feelings with other’s feelings so that he can become a role model when it comes to helping them succeed.

      Constructive relationships:

      Strengthening the teacher-student relationship is essential in the educational environment. The teacher and the student should discuss within themselves what they have learned without any hindrance. He has to encourage students to ask questions freely. The teacher should answer them appropriately and dispel the students' doubts. In teaching, the teachers have to explain many messages and examples from their lives so that the student shall develop a research mindset that stimulates the quest for knowledge. The teacher should be aware of the student's family situation. The student should consult with the student's parents about the effort and development of the student and become a nurturer of humanity.

      Teacher - A professional:

      The dictionary defines a professional as one who possesses superior qualities, profound learning, and excellence in work. The teaching staff should be versatile, broad-minded and knowledgeable. He must be concerned with the development and progress of knowledge. He must be patriotic. Teaching work in the community is respected by all. So in order to become a responsible teacher - It is essential to have the following positive qualities to be a professional.

      Teacher’s responsibility:

      The teacher is the one who determines the future of a child. It is the responsibility of the teacher to create a good
