Essay on Ethics represent the behavior that is being used by the teachers

Introduction of Ethics

Ethics represent the behavior that is being used by the teachers in teaching the children and making them a better person. In today’s world we have seen that every children or student have different demand and everyone is from the different background as well. Therefore, teacher needs to be efficient so that she can deal all the students and their different problems at a time.

This short essay will discuss about the different strategies which every teacher should use on the students to make them successful.

Ethical rules:

An ethical teacher is being guided through a set of different kind of beliefs that further lead towards the actions and the attitudes engrossed into what is best for their students in all the possible ways. Becoming an ethical person or teacher means to take up the high roads and then behave in a professional way no matter how much big the issue comes along with the everyday decision’s making in a class.

Teaching is a profession about which most of the people think that it is much easy and different other things, but here everything is completely opposite as teaching requires motivation, hard work and honesty. One teacher has the duty to teach many students at a time. No one is a born teacher like other professions, there are many things which needs to be known and a new teacher learns all such things with the passage of time, help of colleagues and experience as well.

A new teacher must know about all the basics of teaching which includes teaching ethics as well. One should not only know that how to work or how to handle their job or class but should also know about Ethical dilemma which teaches that what is wrong and what is right? What things should be discussed and which ones should not?

According to Ethic and rules, first of all, the principal and already available staff should welcome the new employee and he or she should not make an employee uncomfortable by asking questions related to the previous job which was left. Secondly, nor should the employee discuss anything with his or her colleagues and not even with the boss no matter what sort of questions they ask. (Biesta, Gert J.J. 2006).

This is natural that whenever a new employee enters in the new school or any other organization and start working there, the boss becomes curious a bit about the previous experience. Obviously, the employee knows each and everything about the previous job and he or she can reveal many of the things to the new principal. Many schools are in competition with one another and each of them wants to be on the top. First of all, not all the information is being shared with the employees because everyone knows that at son point some clashes may take place and teacher can leave the job, as principal arranged a meeting and asked few questions which have been answered clearly and explained each and every point of it related to a previous job. But sharing of all the information about the previous school and their projects with the new one is totally against the Ethic rules.

Every teacher should treat all the students equally, there are certain students who perform well and teacher start treating them differently from other students. This is a very wrong act, for the teacher all students should be equal and of some students are not performing good then extra attention and time should be given to those students. Teacher should be fair and above all honest only then she can make his or her students a better person.

Whanau and Maori both these words refer towards a family, family also plays an important role in teaching a child and it is being said that at home children are the reflection of their teachers while in school, students are the reflection of their parents. As teacher plays a huge role in teaching a student, so should parents. They need to take out time for their children and look upon their activities and progress as well instead of just visiting Parents teacher meeting twice or thrice. Learning is a part of life and there is no doubt in it that teacher carries more than 50% part here but family also plays equal importance in making their child a better person for the future.

Colleagues should be supportive: At times, it happens whenever a new teacher joins a school, instead of helping that new teacher there are many different colleagues that become rude and harsh. They don’t share anything with them at all. This is completely wrong that one should always help the new coming person and make him or her comfortable in all the possible ways. Extra burden should not be put on their shoulders. It requires time for learning and understanding. (Fitzmaurice, M. 2010).

Family support is essential: Family members are the main support and backbone of the new teachers entering in this field in early stages of this whole new procedure of shifting from one place to the other. Therefore, new teachers rely completely on their family members for giving them emotional support, sense making related to the culture and especially telling them how should they just focus on their work. Leaving family behind is not an easy task especially for the married women and it makes the female staff tensed all of the time. They are away from their family members but they still think about them all the time how will they manage and all. Therefore, family needs to be supportive and helping too.

One of the perspectives to uphold is that of ensuring each child is handles individually. Each child has special interests and qualities and the ability to add to their networks. Children are unique from birth with common, social, semantic, social and monetary rights. Effective learning and instructing is described by proficient choices that draw on particular information and numerous points of view. Therefore, partnerships with families and networks bolster shared duty regarding children's learning, improvement and prosperity. (Sutton, M. 2005).

Another perspective that is important is that of ensuring that there is democratic, reasonable, and comprehensive practices in the teaching environment. This places an advance value and a solid feeling of having a place for the children. Such an environment fosters respectful, responsive and proportional connections between teachers and children. It is therefore vital to youngsters' instruction and care. Some teachers will essentially include play and relaxation within the learning environment. These are very fundamental for children' learning, improvement and prosperity. Nevertheless, research and practice-based proof advise quality instruction and care. This is where the arising morals are very much established through workable models that lead the activities to both positive and negative impacts. It also allows various qualities, for example, respectability, control and genuineness among others to apply them in everyday lives for the children. Such morals impacts conduct and enable a child to settle on the correct decisions. Where morals lack it will be extremely hard to control life and act capably. It is to say that ethics cover a wide range of activities and bear significance on indirect relations. That is why the morals can't be overlooked in any social status, and it should be handled as a basic thing that is rehearsed in the field of early childhood teaching. Through morals training, the ministry of education has set a basic help to run the framework easily. These set the norms of what's satisfactory and what's not consequently securing the premiums of both the instructors and the children. (Gunzenhauser, M., G. 2012).

Role of ethics in the teaching field is not just important for the teacher or it is not important that they should only learn the ethical rules but these rules are also very beneficial and important for the students as well. Teacher plays a role of mentor for the students and they spend most of the time with their teacher, while spending time and learning things help them in adopting many new things from their teacher as well. Ethics is not just important for the educators only but they are equally important for the students as well.

Strategies which should be applied on students for better learning:

·         Teacher should be as much creative as he or she could be because in class every student has different kind of thinking and way of learning. It is not important that if one or two students are quick learners then others are also the same. So creativity can help the slow learners in better learning. (Strike, K. A. & Soltis, J. F; 2004).

·         Activeness is another major part which should be used by the teachers in the class. Being an active teacher helps in knowing what is happening in the class. If teacher becomes lazy or lethargic then ultimately class will start making noise and will not pay attention at all.

·         Behavior should be positive. Teacher should not use inappropriate language in the class or else it will leave a bad impact on the minds of students and will obviously try to copy their teacher as well.

·         Teacher should ask as much questions as possible related to the topic as it will make students alert and through their answers teacher can also come to know about their learning and understanding.

·         Teacher should have a clear lesson plan in the mind. He or she should know clearly that what things are supposed to be discussed in the class and through which strategy or way.

·         With every topic try to quote examples from the daily life as it will help in the better understanding to the students.
