The Nature of Learner and Teacher and How it Affects Curriculum and Bias'ness

Teaching is the most important career in a society. Being a teacher you provide knowledge, discipline, and a role model. No other job besides being a parent can usually have such a great effect on a population. Capable teachers can create capable students and in turn, create capable employees. Learners need capable teachers to create a dynamic and interactive environment, especially at a young age when attention can easily be drawn elsewhere.

The physical nature of the learner can not be pinpointed to one description. All students are unique in their ability to study, read, write and be progressive in their work, under many conditions. But outside the physical aspect of learning which varies greatly from student to student. Mentally a learner deals best with confidence in themselves and respect from the teacher and their surrounding pupils. Respect and confidence go hand in hand in the classroom. A student that is shown and can feel the respect of the class and the instructor has a much better chance of being confident to answer questions and to let their voice be heard among the class. The student will then absorb the information from class better because of the attention and participation that makes the class more interesting and enjoyable. A learner who is not shown respect from their teacher or are not respected by their classmates will feel a lot of pressure when they have the chance to participate. They could get nervous about humiliating themselves with a wrong answer that they will not try. Oftentimes the teacher could lose the attention of this student because the student will perceive the class as boring because of the lack of participation on the student's part.

The curriculum should envelope a myriad of practical subjects as well as subjects in the arts and mechanics. Students should have the chance to experience the wide variety of opportunities life outside of school has to offer them. Young children should have a better chance to find out what their interests are with a diverse curriculum and older students should be able to pursue their interests with chosen electives.
