WHAT IS AN “IDEAL” TEACHER

ACCORDING TO US?

 An ideal teacher knows that the work of learning extends outside of the classroom,
that learners can deepen their understanding through peer sharing, engaging with
members of the community and with experts in the field both physically and through
technology.

Nurture creativity and
imagination
We took learners beyond the classroom which
helped in unclipping their wings.
Suddenly their minds were free to explore and often
ended up with some very
creative results. For example, instead of learning about
sports in the classroom, we
took them to a sport field and
had them act in role. We were amazed at just how their
imaginations ran wild.

 An ideal teacher
recognises that
playing sport is a
health recreation
for the learners.
They have to be
active every day
which stimulates
growth and leads
to improved
physical and
emotional health of
the learners. The sports field also creates an all-important learning environment
for the learners where they can learn to cope, adapt, and function in a team
environment. These are all important skills that learners need to acquire and
apply in life. Values are instilled through sport.
