The Competent Teacher

The Competent instructor The purpose of this article is to evaluate how instructors need to instal to be fitting for the 21st coke. Researchers and instructors are suitable aware that the 21st century schoolroom is changing dramatic bothy. A team of teacher educators from NIE sat down in the mouth and asked themselves these questions. What are the roles of the teacher in the 21st century? What are the competencies teachers need to fulfill these roles?What apprize our teacher education programs provide to help them with this task? virtually of the roles they identified included nurturing the whole child, providing quality learning, working with others, and developing a strong set of individual(prenominal) values. They then made a list of essence competencies that either trained teacher should progress to. The core competencies were categorize into 3 broad performance dimensions. These dimensions are, pro practice, lead and management, and personal effectiveness.P rofessional practice, is the idea that the teacher takes every probability to encourage learning, and believe that all disciples can learn. And learning isnt limited to the classroom. The teacher takes every opportunity to improve on his or her own professional practice, in order to provide quality learning. leaders and management is the idea that a competent teacher is a leader who wins the hearts and minds of the students and sees value in working with parents, colleagues, and other professionals at any and all given times.Personal effectiveness is the idea that teachers have to hold themselves to the highest moral and ethical standards both in and out of the classroom. The thinking behind this idea is summed up best as you must believe in yourself before others will believe in you. I think that for a teacher to be competent in the classroom today they must evaluate themselves on a yearly basis. Every class, and student is different and teaching material changes over time. techn ology is also a key element in the classroom. A teacher must stay up to date and be proficient on the confused aspects of the technology world. I believe a teacher should be able to adapt to different classroom settings, students and situations as they are presented. Becoming a teacher is a job where one must require the unexpected and be able to deal with it on a professional level. (Citation singteach. nie. edu. sg Issue 23- march/april 2010)
