Abstract
Education is the key to our success. This is what students are taught today. However, the
love for education may not be there. Students see education as just a way out. Just seeing
education as a way out is not going to benefit and bring effective teachers, doctors, lawyers into
this world. As a teacher it is our job to teach, nurture, communicate, reflect professionalism, and
be a facilitator instructor. It is our duty to reach not only our students but also the parents and
community. Our job is to make a positive print in a child’s life. So, they may also become
effective in a positive way to the next generation. What is your purpose for teaching and what is
your student’s purpose for receiving an education? Are you guiding your students to a better
future? What are the roles of an effective teacher, student, parents, and the community? These
are the questions we should be asking daily.

The American Dream: go to school, graduate high school, receive diploma, attend
college, graduate, make lots of money, and live comfortable. Education is often viewed and
presented as a way out; to have a better life. Students are being taught that the role of education
is to basically provide you a promise note to be eligible for a successful future. However, how
many students go to school to receive an education because they love to learn? Indeed, part of
the role of education is to provide students with the opportunity to succeed and build a bright
future. Education is also something the student must love. How can you succeed in something
you don’t genuinely care for? Success through education is not an individual thing. Success
through education plays as a role composed through our teachers, students, parents, and the
community. In the mist of the people we build what Adlai Stevenson once said “is the most
American thing about America”, free education. (school.p.1)
The reward of free education did not come easy. It took many steps to reach where we are
today. Early schools were linked to the Protestant Bible, brought on by early settlers
(school.p.21). Thomas Jefferson’s argument that public education was essential to democracy led
to a breakthrough for education in the 1830’s and 1840’s where statewide school systems began
to take off. Horace Mann introduced new ideas and beliefs to how a school system should be
conducted. Mann’s vision was for common schools to be free of charge so poor children could
attend school while being funded with tax dollars, and being a way to draw wealthy students
away from private schools. Both detested the” idea of the family you were born into determining
how you ended up in the American life.” (school.p.31) Together, Mann and Jefferson had a
vision for all students to be entitled to a quality education.

Although, common schools were made for everyone to attend racial issues continue to
occur. African Americans were segregated and prohibited from attending school with whites.
Bringing us to 1855, Sarah Roberts’s case, Brown verses Board where she had to pass five other
schools before arriving to her school. About a decade later, Lyndon B Johnson created the Civil
Rights Act, which refused to give federal funding to schools that were still segregated. All of this
led us to our common schools, currently known as public schools today.
Along with a new education system brought new educators. To be an effective teacher
you must nurture, communicate, reflect professionalism, and be a facilitator instructor. The role
of a teacher is to provide and nurture their students into loving their education. As students
continue to go to higher grade levels, it is the teacher’s job to continue to water the seed as it
flourishes into a beautiful plant. As a result, we have students who are in the field such as,
teachers, doctors, lawyers not because it is a way out but because it is something they love. This
role falls under the standard of demonstrating knowledge of the development of children and
supporting, facilitating and nurturing the learning of children. (SC-USCB-CE-CF.N.3) Being an
effective communicator, follows the standard C-1: communicating effectively with students,
parents, peers, and the community using a variety of communication skills including verbal and
nonverbal techniques, writing, technologies, and media. In order to keep your students engaged,
communication is the key.
An effective teacher maintains a level of active and response such as, students raising
their hands to answer questions. As an effective teacher your role is to not only reach your
students but the parents and the community. All three play a major role in education. We need
the students, parents and community just as much as they need the effective teachers. This is
where reflecting professionalism takes a big aspect while following the standard R.2 and F/I-4:
1.4.h EDFO B321 Philosophy of Education Paper Average Example
demonstrating a dedication to lifelong learning and classroom management skills that include a
wide array of strategies. An effective teacher has classroom management, is flexible with their
lesson plans, and understands that their students all come from different backgrounds and
cultures. An effective teacher gets to know their students and their student’s interests. Student
surveys are an awesome way to start to learn about your students. This is where an effective
teacher proceeds following standard F/I-5: demonstrating and responding to the diverse needs
and individual differences of leaners and designing appropriate assessments.
As effective teachers it is our job to leave a positive imprint in a child’s life. As an
educator you are the role model, nurturer, communicator, reflective professional, facilitator
instructor, and much more. As a teacher the roles we carry are many. But, it’s what we love,
right? Being an effective teacher raises effective students who are attentive, engaging, and
responding. Together, the teacher, students, parents, and community build an environment where
education is not just a way out but something that I loved and enjoyed during my years of ageing
and maturing and hoping that the day when my students graduate. They will be that nurturing
teacher, doctor, lawyer. Where they’ve learned education is not just my way out. It is my way to
make a positive statement in someone’s life. Indeed, education is the key. Educators are the key
holders and students unlock the doors to their successful futures.
