Ways that Teachers Can Change
the World
 Changing the world sounds
like a tall order. But in reality,
educators play their role to
help change the world every
single day. The summer is a
great time to start planting
seeds of change in our
personal or professional
practice. Here are a few quick
ideas to keep in mind over the
next few weeks before we gear
up to go back to school.
 SHARE
It is a key theme of
education in general.
Learning is inherently
selfish.Teachers share
what they learn and
know with others -- that,
after all, is what being an
educator is about.
 CARE

All teachers have their

personal passion. Educator,
sharing their personal passions
with students is a great way to
bond with them, and if they tie
in the act of doing something
for the greater good, it
becomes even more
meaningful to us as a
community.
 CONNECT
Being an educator today is
wonderful, but it is also
challenging. The only way to
make change is to see these
challenges that teachers face as
opportunities. And many times,
others have already faced these
same challenges and either
overcame them or pointed out
what they learned from the
experience.
 REFLECT

Teachers make the

learning opportunities
in the classroom even
bigger, bolder and
more impactful for the
learners they about to
encounter.
• From helping a student get to that "light bulb" moment to
helping shape the lives of the next generation – teaching is a
challenging but incredibly rewarding profession.
THE IMPORTANCE
OF TEACHERS IN
OUR SOCIETY
Teachers
Bring Change
in a Student’s
Life
• Great teachers have the ability to change lives for the better.

• Teachers can act as a support system that is lacking

elsewhere in students’ lives. They can be a role model and
an inspiration to go further and to dream bigger. They hold
students accountable for their successes and failures and
good teachers won’t let their talented students get away with
not living up to their full potential.
 Teachers of all walks of life
and subjects have the ability to
shape opinions and help form
ideas about society, life and
personal goals. Teachers can
also expand students’ limits and
push their creativity.
Teachers are the
ultimate role
models
 Teachers will stay positive for their students
even when things can seem grim. A great
teacher always has compassion for their
students, understanding of their students’
personal lives, and appreciation for their
academic goals and achievements. Teachers are
role models for children to be positive, always
try harder, and reach for the stars.
 Teachers
Provide the
Power of
Education
 Knowledge and education are the
basis for all things that can be
accomplished in life. Teachers
provide the power of education to
today’s youth, thereby giving them
the possibility for a better future.
• Teachers simplify the complex, and make
abstract concepts accessible to students.
Teachers also expose children to ideas and
topics that they might otherwise not have
come into contact with. They can expand
on interests and push their students to do
better.
 Teachers don’t accept failure, and
therefore, students are more likely to
succeed. Teachers know when to push
students, when to give a gentle nudge in
the right direction, and when to let
students figure it out on their own. But
they won’t let a student give up.
Teachers
provide
guidance
 Teacher provide guidance to students of
all types. Teachers are able to see each
child’s strengths and weaknesses and can
provide assistance and guidance to either
get them up to speed or push them higher.
• They will help to reveal student’s best skills and
teach valuable life skills as well, such as
communication, compassion, presentation,
organization, following directions, and more.
• They are also a source of inspiration and motivation.
Teachers inspire students to do well, and motivate
them to work hard and keep their academic goals on
track.
Teaching is having
dedication
• One of the most important parts of teaching
is having dedication. Teachers not only listen,
but also coach and mentor their students.
They are able to help shape academic goals
and are dedicated to getting their students to
achieve them. Teachers have patience for
their students and are understanding when a
concept isn’t taking.
• Teachers do what they do because they want to
help others. They are not teaching for
recognition or a paycheck but because they
have a passion for youth and education.
Teachers typically believe in the power of
education and the importance of providing
children with good role models and are teaching
because of that belief. They are dedicated to the
cause.
• Teachers’ dedication is shown by their ‘round-the-
clock work habits. Teachers don’t stop working
when the school bell rings. They are grading
papers, making lessons, and communicating with
parents after school and on weekends. Most
teachers arrive earlier than school starts to set up
their day and provide extra assistance to struggling
students.
Teachers Play a Great
Role in the Economic
Development of the
Country
• Education is a fundamental aspect in the
development of a country. If the youth of a
society is educated, a future is born.
Teachers provide the education that
improves quality of life, therefore bringing
so much to both individuals and society as
a whole.
• Teachers increase productivity and
creativity of students and therefore, of
future workers. When students are pushed
to be creative and productive, they are
more likely to be entrepreneurial and make
technological advances, ultimately leading
to economic development of a country.
