Teachers are role models to the student. What a teacher does and how he/she composes himself determine if the is self discipline or not.

A teacher is someone who transmits knowledge gained to the students.

Teaching is the act of impacting unknown knowledge to the learner i.e deductive and inductive learning, starting from, known to unknown knowledge which could be expressed as teaching methods or type of teaching method. A teacher becomes a manager when he/she is involved in classroom management.

Every new teacher enters the educational field ready to change students’ lives. Filled with hopes, ideas, and excitement, they file into classrooms and begin classroom preparations for their first year.

Novice educators appears to be easily and quickly overwhelmed by the task of teaching and often frustrated by unsuccessful attempts to understand the workings of a school’s formal and informal culture.

The pace at which novice teachers adapt and develop and the choice either to stay or leave the profession appear to be related to a principal’s involvement with beginning teachers. School teachers are the curators of education and the stewards of the learning environment. Principals are responsible for facilitating the transition of individuals from a university program or a business career into the educational settings. Throughout this process, principles are expected to identify novice teacher’s strengths and areas of improvement and provide a plethora of support to address those needs.
