Ideal teacher that the school needs.

For a school that is in a township. Where crime and inequalities exist,

these learners go to school seeking a place where they can be safe and

seen. Our school needs an ideal teacher who will see the learners as

human and accommodates everyone irrespective of their cultural

backgrounds. This creates an environment where teachers can connect

to the learners respecting them as stakeholders in the school. Since this

is a technical school, learners usually enjoy practical teaching and

learning aspects of practical more than theory. A passionate teacher can

create a link between practical and theory in order to make the lesson

more interesting and enjoyable for the learners, this allows the teacher to

meet learners where they are.

An ideal teacher that the school needs is the

one who is well updated in term of the relevant
content. A teacher who understands that

whenever designing the curriculum for the
learners must always draw from their personal

experiences. Looking at the context of the

school, it needs a teacher who will create a
safe learning environment where learners are

not afraid of being wrong. There is a high rate
of failure at the school and there could be

many reasons behind this, however once a
teacher creates an environment where

learners can ask questions is the beginning of

all learning. This would allow learners to fail and learn from their mistakes and be
eager to do better instead of laughing at each other for failing.
