Being a teacher means to be a multi-task person.  Teachers play different role in their lives as educator. Let’s take a look on the 5 faces of teachers!

1. Educator- The main role of the teachers is to educate and inculcate learning. We teach the children to write, read, count, solve problems, etc. We teach them to cook, sew, plant trees, etc.

1. Trainer/Coach- In some instances, our pupils compete in different areas like Math, Science, Investigative Projects, Poem Recitation, Campus Journalism, etc. We help them achieve the fullest of their potentials and push them to the best of their ability.

1. Guidance Counsel (Counselor) – we help them in their emotional struggles. We also try to understand their problems and inspire them to be better and be at peace with their “inner self”.

1. Nurse- In some cases, we attend to their needs when they are sick, tend their wounds and injuries, let them drink medicines and deworming tablets. We also educate them the proper health habits.

1. Mother- Every teacher is a mother to his/her class which may consists of 30-70 pupils. We act as their parents who does not only teach and train them, tend and understand them but also hone their values and personality. We give them love and attention.

Being a teacher is never a joke. It is not just an occupation but a vocation. It is a unique task that God has appointed to us. SO be proud to be a teacher
