two other characteristics

As I stated before about being a lifelong learner, a teacher in our modern society must be able to adapt and develop as times change. Ethics is extremely important in education today. Educators must understand how to approach delicate situations with the proper technique and ethical value. An educator's decision within the classroom must reflect an atmosphere of equality and high standard. Every student must feel as if they are a high priority to the school and that their presence is required. Many articles I have read and studied have shown that many students feel as though teachers play favorites or ignore certain students. This only adds to the difficulty of incorporating all students into a lesson and increasing the material retention. An educator is meant to provide a positive roll model to students in a classroom. By acting in a respectful and ethical manner we can help influence the youth of today to become leaders of tomorrow. Being liberally educated is another characteristic that I feel plays a major roll in the development of educators today. Having a well rounded knowledge on content can only improve the effectiveness of a teacher. Many times material in a class can relate to material learned in another content. A well rounded mindset can enable a teacher to apply material in various views for different types of learners to understand in their own way. By improving teaching techniques and giving interesting information will only improve the student involvement and overall outcome of the class
