METAPHOR OF JESUS AS TEACHER

The role of the teachers is a very wide concept; the teachers are in charge of teaching a subject, they have to create the best conditions in the classroom to ensure a dynamic process of learning, they have to impart knowledge to their students, but these are just some of their duties, they´re also responsible to guide, orient, direct, conduct and shaping student´s life according to ethic values and moral aspects. 

I chose Jesus to reflect the teachers´ role, because teachers are involved in many different aspects of people´s life as well as Jesus, both help and teach people, showing them good and bad things, showing them the different ways to develop a task and letting them take the decision they want but direct them toward the best one.

I see myself as a teacher developing a work like Jesus did, full of love, confidence, dedication, enthusiasm, giving always the best tools to help my students to achieve their aims and dreams, to make them good people, as I said before we need to teach them not just the cognitive part but the affective one to make them people aware about their life, and conscious about the world´ situation and how they can interact with it and help to change things which are affecting their own lives and their closest environment, their family, friends, school, classroom, classmates, neighborhood, etc.

I consider I will be an affective teacher because in my experience as student I noticed the classes are better when teachers are friendly, when they adopt a positive attitude toward the students, when they motivate students to participate in class, when they create a comfortable environment where students are full of confidence and all of them can work together with no fear and so the learning process can take place easily.

Finally, it is important establish a relationship not just with our students but with their family, because our job does not begin and does not  finish in the classroom as many people believe, our job goes beyond, we must take care of our students in all the aspects of their life.
