Teaching is always considered a noble profession. A teacher is tailor-made to make every learner acquire skills, knowledge and values from varied instructional strategies. Yet, teachers are not only bound to make every learner literate about their learning area but also to influence them in life relative to the subject you are teaching. Teachers are great influencers. Learners look up to their teachers as epitome of goodness and excellence. As a MAPEH Teacher, how do I create a positive impact to learners?

As a PE Teacher, it is important that we must push them towards having a fit and sound body. Being a Physical Education teacher, you are not only bound to teach the rules of sports or movements in dances. Get the students involved in the process. Make them realize the importance of having a sound body to eventually attain a good life. We should be clever enough to apply engaging ways and means for students to participate in sports and other recreations.

Technology’s impact on the academe is evident. Many things can now be done with just a few clicks of a device. However, this lifestyle has created a generation who lacks engagement and creativity. Ultimately, our influence among our learners is not confined in theories and principles. Make them engaged, tickle their creativity and influence them to become a better version of themselves. In this, we are creating lasting influence to them.
