As a teacher, these are the aspects challenges me as becoming a leader to my dear students.
First of all, effective communication with my students. I have to adapt each student needs. It doesn't just involve giving instructions to them but motivating or encouraging them and explaining things or lessons as easy as possible to help them easily understand.
Second, decision making. I always put extra effort in setting classroom rules being sensitive of each student needs and of course their well being inside the classroom as parents trust you with them as well as your students. Addressing their concerns,I'm not really confident at first but overtime I trust my experience and of course seek advice to my superiors or co- teachers on handling it because I believed that learning is continuous process.
Third, balancing authority and approachability.
As a leader of the classroom,I have to set rules being firm with them while also I'm someone that my students feel comfortable approaching. I'm not just a teacher, a leader, I'm also their second parent in school but, I also want to be their friend that they can count on. A classroom should have a supporting and friendly environment because it will promote better results or impact such as students feel safe and respective.
