This is just the beginning

               Today has been  my last class of didactics; I think this class has taught us about teaching to learn not just teaching to make the students know.  Isn’t it wonderful how different it is teaching to know and teaching to learn? Didactics is about adapting to the kid and not making the kid adapt to the teacher, as teachers we have to be sure that EVERY STUDENT is learning. Understanding the pupils’ needs and the students’ strengths would make you a good teacher.Furthermore, as teachers we have to make the barriers of our students disappear,this is to say, we have to help them to destroy them, that is our most important task.

                We have to become in students of our students, in order to understand them. We have to understand that we are not in the focus anymore, that the most important thing in our class are the students and not us. We have to be the guides to the knowledge and not the providers of the knowledge. Focusing on the students needs and interests would make you a better teacher.

                As teachers we have to think that our students can get whatever they want, if they have some interests we have to encourage them.  Sometimes, the students don’t get into the class because we are not helping them to get in. Nowadays, the students are constantly been judged by the teachers, parents... We have to discover what they are, why they are like this and what could they be that’s another task of the teachers.

*

                Finally, we have to realize how important our role in nowadays society is. Teachers are constantly undervalued, but even when the society doesn’t see the importance of our role, we cannot undervalue us, because if we don’t value our job we aren’t going to make the better we can make. Education is the most powerful tool to change the world, don’t ever forget it.
