ANOTHER ASPECT OF A TEACHER'S JOB IS THE ABILITY TO SEE THE WORLD THROUGH A CHILD'S EYES. HE MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND THE WAY A STUDENT THINKS BEFORE HE CAN TEACH AND ADVISE HIM.

A TEACHER'S PERSONAL CONDUCT WAS ALSO IMPORTANT, MR TOPLEY SAID.

ON THE ACTUAL TEACHING, HE SAID THAT APART FROM A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT, A TEACHER MUST MAKE CAREFUL PREPARATIONS IN GATHER ING MATERIALS AND TEACHING AIDS. ALSO, HE SHOULD CHECK TO SEE WHETHER THE SUBJECT HE WAS TEACHING WAS IN ANYWAY RELATED TO OTHER SUBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES, AND MAKE CONNECTIONS.

+THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT TEACHERS PLAY A KEY ROLE IN SOCIETY, AND THE IR PROFESSIONAL STATUS WILL BE RESPECTED IF THEY CONSTANTLY REVIEW THEIR POSITION AND KEEP UP WITH THEIR SUBJECTS,+ MR TOPLEY SAID.
