Mangalore,(Nov 20):- Teachers are professional learners. The role of the teacher is to effectively excite a captive audience to learn. The teacher is a learner each and every minute of his life.All children have a basic human drive to learn. The teacher’s job is to convince the student that education fulfils that need. Teachers are the expert learners. They must transfer their abilities of learning to their students. Gathering little pearls of wisdom each day the teacher is able to influence pupils. The teacher must become a teacher of social skills. It is an underlying aspect of effective teaching.
