Long Life Learning (3L)

Teaching means Learning. If you want to teach means you also have to learn. During Technology and Language Learning class, I got a new concept in becoming a teacher. My lecturer Sir Iwan Syahril made a song named "The Teacher". He composed this song when he was studying Teacher Education in Columbia University, United States. The lyric was so touchy that makes me feel lucky to become a teacher in the future.

The most powerful part of this song for me is "I'm under construction". Sounds like i'm a building which is being repaired and prepared by an architect.The architect represent knowledge and skill in teaching. Teacher doesn't has to be a person who stands in front of the class and give so many assignment to their student. A teacher can be someone who teach you how to behave, how to survive, and how to treat yourself. I hope I can be a good teacher. Be a clever teacher is nice, but be a good teacher is more awesome. Being good in this context means that you are not teaching your student but also listen and learn from your student.

Actually it is a simple picture but have a deep meaning.

7 in 1 proffesions:

(playing several key roles)

1. Teacher as an actor. An actor has to act. It means that when you become a teacher you also have to act. Even though you are in a bad mood but infront of your student you shouldn't express your feeling. A teacher is a trend setter as well as an actor. If the teacher was lazy, it will impact the students as well.
2.  Teacher as a writer. To be a writer is not easy. So do be a teacher. You will need inspiration and creativity to write a book or an article so that many people read it. Same like being a teacher. Teaching needs creativity. You have to be creative to create an interesting and effective class. A writer has to be creative so do the teacher.
3. Teacher as a manager. A good teacher is a good manager. You need to have a good skill in managing your time in classroom. A teacher have to be able to delivered the lesson on time. A manager has to manage their employees and company. The employees represent the student and company represent the classroom.
4. Developer. A developer is someone who develops something (such as software, realestate). A success developer needs to have a good strategy in order to create successful project. A teacher have to develop his/her students knowledge and mind. Each students has different characteristics so that teacher needs different strategy to teach every students.
5. Salesperson. Salesperson is someone who sales something.Tthe successfulness of a salesperson is measured by the amount of sales he/she is able to make during a given period of time and how good is in persuading someone to buy his/her product. In teaching teacher have to "sell" his knowledge to his student. The word "sell" not literary means you get money, but sell means you implant your knowledge to your student. the way you "persuade" your students is very important in order to make her/hirbecome interesting to your lesson.
6. Proffesional. According to merriam-webster.com "proffesional" means engaged in one of the learned. A proffesional is someone who mastered something. A teacher have to be a proffesional. you have to be expert in your field.
