Teachers have 3 loves:

1. Love of learning

2. Love of learners

And the love of bringing the first two together”

- Scott Hayden

In conclusion

An ideal teacher tries his or her best to make learners learn bearing in mind that
everyone learns differently. An ideal teacher tries to come up with different teaching and

learning strategies that will make learners to learn effectively. Learning does not only

require a textbook, but it also requires other educational tools and a safe and secure
learning environment that will enhance effective teaching. An ideal teacher needs to

know his or her learner’s psychology so that she or he can know how learners can be
best accommodated during the teaching and learning process. A school needs to be a

place where learners feel safe and where learners can become agents of change
through critical thinking. A school needs to be an ideal school and have ideal teachers

so that there can be ideal learners, learners who are striving for positive change not

only in the school but also in their environment.

Ideal teacher creates a second home for the learner's, whereby they feel appreciated.

Ideal teacher does not belittle learner’s knowledge by considering their prior knowledge
and do not conclude that some leaners cannot learn at the same time with others due to

their abilities. Ideal teacher understands that leaners are different and needs to be

accommodated according to their different learning styles, therefore a teacher needs to
incorporate teaching aids. Ideal teacher needs to change the lesson and make it learner

centered, use teaching strategies like Think Pair and Share, whereby learners do most
of the work and the teacher facilitates learning.
