GOOD TEACHING: THE TOP TEN REQUIREMENTS

One. Good teaching is as much about passion as it is about reason. It's about not only motivating students to learn, but teaching them how to learn, and doing so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable. It's about caring for your craft, having a passion for it, and conveying that passion to everyone, most importantly to your students.  (To be continued)

It's a marathon writing. Please don't comment until and unless i finish up.

To be a good teacher you need some of the gifts of the good actors; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience, you must be a clear speaker with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control, and you must be able to act with what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear.

Watch good teachers, and you will see that they do not sit motionless before their class; they walk about, using their arms, hands and fingers to help them in their explanations, and their face to express their feelings.

The fact that good teachers have some gifts of good actors does not mean that they will indeed be able to act well on the stage. There are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which s/he has learnt by heart; s/he has to repeat exactly the same words each time s/he plays a certain part; even his/her movements are usually fixed before.

The good teacher works in quite a different way. His audiences take an active part in his/her play; they ask and answer questions, they obey orders and if they do not understand something, they say so. The teacher, therefore, has to suit his/her act to the needs of his/her audiences, which is his/her class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as s/he goes along.

1. The man who is most hateful to God is the one who quarrels and disputes most. (Bukhari, Muslim).
 
2. The believer is not the one who eats his fill when the neighbour beside him is hungry. (Baihaqi).

(Abu Dawud).

5.He who is deprived of gentleness is deprived of good. (Muslim).

6. Allah will not show mercy to him who does not show mercy to others.
(Bukhari, Muslim).

7. He who has in his heart as much faith as a grain of mustard seed will not enter hell, and he who has in his heart as much pride as a grain of mustard seed will not enter paradise. (Muslim).

8. He who innovates something in which this matter of ours that is not of it will have it rejected. (Bukhari, Muslim).

9. None of you [truly] believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself. (Bukhari, Muslim).

10. Actions will be judged by intentions, and everyone will be recompensed according to what he intended. (Bukhari).

Teaching is a great art. Not all can become good teachers. A good teacher might be a scholar or a good student but a scholar or a good student might not always be a good teacher. A professor from Cambridge University remarked, "A good teacher should have the following qualities. First, he or she must know the material that he or she is teaching very well. Second, he or she should be able to explain his or her knowledge. Third, he or she must be patient and understanding. Last, he or she must be able to make the subject matter interesting to the students." Dr. Serajul Islam Choudhury, a veteran professor of English from the University of Dhaka said, “learning is a life-long process and there is no real ending to it till the last moment. Ideally, teachers should be given pre-entrance as well as in-service training. Also, a teacher need not be bureaucratic; on the contrary he/she should try, if necessary deliberately, to be democratic in attitude as well as in practice. The learner deserves to be treated as a subject rather than an object, and needs encouragement, too. To mark out the errors is not enough, it is even more necessary to appreciate the positive qualities in a student’s work.

you should pay attention to the following points before preparing your CV:
 
•   A CV of a fresher or an inexperienced candidate should not be over one or two pages. A CV should be concise and you must omit irrelevant information.
•   A CV projects an applicant’s suitability for a job. Color papers or color print should not be used for this purpose. In case of highlighting any information, you can either bold, or italicize or underline it. Never bold and underline.

•   Give the reader an idea of what you have done and achieved throughout your career, instead of focusing on the duties you were responsible for at your jobs done previously.

Leo Tolstoy ´´Please regard me as a Mohammedan...´´
The great Russian writer and thinker who contributed a lot to the Russian literature and history is more famous as a writer, his philosophical views and works that reflect his ideas of God, soul, knowledge, love, the meaning of life, etc. are much less known.
The continuing quest for the meaning of life, the moral ideal, the covert general regularities of existence as well as his spiritual and social criticism run through all his creative work. Since the 1870-ies he pays more and more attention to the subjects of death, sin, penance, and moral revival.

His extraordinary way of thinking was in most cases incomprehensible to the Russian society of those days.

He was excommunicated and committed to anathema, his friends and acquaintances turned away from him. In 1910, at the age of 81, Leo Tolstoy left home and died on the way to the station “Astapovo”.

It can take a reader just 30 seconds to reach a decision about a CV. So when writing a CV, you should remember you have just half a minute to gain the reader’s interest, leave a clear impression of professionalism and indicate the likely benefit to an employer of hiring you.  To prepare a CV which is effective will take time and possibly several drafts. Layout, presentation and a choice of words which demonstrate both responsibility and achievement are vital components of any CV.

No matter how well your career background and skills match the needs of an employer, your efforts could fail if you make it difficult for the reader to take in the relevant information. As your message must register quickly, make the reader’s task an easy one. Ensure that the print is well spaced and that the key information is displayed clearly.

The purpose of the CV is to generate interviews. Visually, you want your CV to have a positive effect, but it is also necessary for it to convince the reader that you are worth meeting. The style in which you present your CV is a matter of personal choice, but it is important that you use words which suggest an active and successful career.

People sometimes make the mistake of regarding a CV as a rewrite of their job description, which results in unnecessary jargon and detail. In addition, issues such as salary and reasons for leaving previous employers should not be included; they are best discussed at the first interview stage.
