Teacher of the Month
At Letseku I definitively have two teachers that I feel are far superior to the other’s at the school in terms of their ability and dedication.
I decided to have an Educator of the Month Award in order to reward those who work hard and are actually pushing learner to succeed. Every teacher was given a ballot to cast a vote for who they felt were superior teachers and their reasonings. Every one of the teachers voted for one of the two teachers which I know to be the best. Their reasoning included:
“She is always dedicated to her work. She tries very hard to make sure that all her students understand the material.”
“She loves the students and her classroom is very clean.”
“She is trying very hard and accurately in making sure that the school and the learners work harmoniously. She shows commitment to her work even though I can say she is overloaded.”
“Sometimes she stays with learners after school to make them understand what she was teaching. She uses different kinds of learning materials and learning methods to support her lessons. She gives learners a good foundation in learning.”
“She is always punctual; and remains at school in the afternoon for decorating her classroom.”
“She is approachable to learners.”
So, evidently all of my teachers understand and acknowledge the components of a good teacher. They see the value of staying after school, being approachable to learners, and attempting different teaching styles. Yet, most of the rest of them don’t follow by example. Why is that? Do they hate their jobs? Do they think being a good teacher takes too much work? I thought, in coming her, that my job was to take teachers who didn’t know how to teach well and give them the tools in which to do so. Apparently, the description has changed: I need to be a beacon of inspiration and a founder of dedication.
Side Note: The teacher that won started crying because she was so happy. It was one of the best moments I've had here.
