On Teaching and Teachers


Teaching is an art of facilitating learning, reflection, creative thinking and ability make choices of ideas, action and in life. Good teachers induce life -long learning process. They shape and transform the thinking and lives of participants in the learning.
Teaching is not spoon feeding certain information for an examination . Teaching is not pedaling the opinions of opinionated people posturing as teachers. All those who choose the profession of teaching are not necessarily teachers. Many of them are for a job and salary. Many of them, instead of enable and enlighten students, disable their independent ability to learn and make them dependent on teachers, dis-empowering their creative potential.
Good teaching is a process of continuous learning and unlearning. Good teaching is opening doors to multiple perspectives and not closing doors to plural voices and perspectives.
Good teachers enable and empower the participants of learning to become thinkers and good human being. Creative Teaching is the art of unleashing the imaginative potential of participants in the learning process.
Teaching is one of the most creative vocations in the world. Good teachers touch the soul of students with the words and deeds and make them creative human beings. That is why good teachers are friend, philosopher and guides to those who learn and grow with them.
