Ways to Improve in my Profession

Question: Examine ways in which you can improve yourself; accept yourself; find purpose in your life and learn to deal with crises and decision making? Answers: Ways in which I can improve- in my profession There are a millions of people who are engaged with the profession of teaching across the globe. There are teachers in the primary schools, secondary schools, colleges and even universities. These teachers do their best in improving the children by imparting them education irrespective of the backgrounds of the children. In recent years significant progress has been made in the field of primary education (Improving teaching and learning in schools, 2015). Problems in the primary teaching system As the education system has considerably expanded, the challenges of the system have also increased. It was seen that the skills of the teachers like the reading, speaking, listening and writing were needed in the primary schools for the teachers to teach. But some of the skills like the speaking and the listening skills were not there among the teachers. The emphasis was given to reading and writing instead. Even the teachers felt that the writing and the reading skills will cover for the listening and the speaking skills (Teaching of English at Primary Level in Government Schools, 2015). There was another problem that the education system faced; it was the use of the text books. The writing skills of the students were not looked after by the teachers in most of the primary schools in the country. There are more problems that needs to be solved at this moment to improve Understanding the children- before starting with the teaching it is very important to note that I should understand the children. The way by which I can make the children make listen to my teachings needs to figure out. It must be kept in mind that the initial years of the students are important for the building blocks of their career. Thus I should develop the knowledge about how can I make the teaching more interesting for the students. I must make the children participate in various activities so that they enjoy their studies. I have a problem of differentiating among the students. I used to prefer those children who were good in studies. Now I must ensure that each and every student is being looked after by me. I need to take care of the students who are weak in their studies by guiding them and giving special attention to them. Verbal proficiency I need to improve my linguistic skills. Since the children are greatly affected by the way a teacher talks and conducts themselves. With an enhanced verbal proficiency I will be able to enrich the interactions with the students in the classroom. If the children find my way of teaching interesting then they will eagerly attend the classes (Primary School Teachers : Enhancing Effectiveness at no Increased Costs, 2015). Even I should make the student stalk on various topics which will make them more confident while they speak in the public. Creativity I need to incorporate some sort of creativity in my work. By incorporating new ways and styles in my teachings I can improve the skills of the students. Moreover the students need to earn something out of the school text book or the course curriculum. I need to take this decision by my own so that I can give my students the best of the knowledge and make them stand out in the school. Ways in which I can improve- in my personal life I believe that people needs to love him or her in order to make it big in life. When we like ourselves more, and when our view of ourselves goes up then we will stop trying so willingly to get support and attention from the other people (Mattitude- Be yourself, improve yourself, 2015). I need to increase my self esteem in order to get the above mentioned benefits. If I fail to boost my morale or my self esteem then people will look down upon me (Accepting Yourself, 2015). They will neglect me even though I put up a hard work. I need to be more self confident about taking the decisions in my personal life as well as the professional life so that my students as well as the people look-up to me. I am teaching in a primary school as well as studying in an open university. It takes a lot of hard work for me. I need to feel proud of my capabilities and my decisions and not feel guilty about risking my life or not getting any time for myself. I should learn to appreciate the things that I have learnt and achieved (Nine Things You Can Do to Improve Yourself and Help Others, 2015). By doing these I hope that I will be able to update and upgrade myself and feel more confident about myself as well as I will be able to take my decisions independently.
