Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on my and professional development plan as a teacher Paper must be at least 1500 words. Please, no plagiarized work! Being an effective teacher encompasses a wide spectrum of responsibilities – from designing an environment conducive to learning, to planning appropriate lessons for students and implementing them with effective educational strategies to being able to manage the class well and instilling discipline in the students, to involving parents and coordinating with others regarding the provision of quality education for the students. That is just for regular students. Teaching students with disabilities would entail a lot more responsibilities to survive the built-in challenges of special education.

In this course, I learned that teachers with a genuine heart for caring for children are not prejudiced in selecting who to care for. “Children should be treated fairly regardless of race, religion or abilities. This applies no matter what they think or say. what type of family they come from. what language(s) they speak. what their parents do. whether they are girls or boys. whether they have a disability or whether they are rich or poor. All children have an equal right to be listened to and valued in the setting.” (EYFS, 2007).

I also realized that children learn in various ways, not just through visual and auditory means, as most people think. To be a more dynamic teacher, I know I have to acknowledge, respect and adjust to various learning styles. That would entail adjusting my teaching styles to a diverse set of learners. Although teachers are expected to know what to teach children in general, they also need to be able to adjust to individual needs of their students, as not all students learn the same way at the same pace. Trafton (1975) suggests that individualization must include “acceptance of each child as an individual worthy of adult respect,” and that to this should be added “an acceptance of the child’s ideas, a provision of opportunities for&nbsp.pupil input in developing and selecting learning experiences, a concern for the quality of the child’s intellectual development, and a willingness to take time to know the child as an individual”.
