Are School’s Promoting Bad Behaviour Without Knowing?

Educators are expected to teach students and young people by imparting subject knowledge and assess their progress; this can’t be it though…can it?

Teachers can utilise their interpersonal skills and abilities to mould young children into adults, meaning that the knowledge being passed on is not only ‘subject knowledge,’ but they are responsible for making students into ‘model citizens.’ Being an educator, you may get the feeling that your teaching profession doesn’t simply start and finish with classroom academia. You will always be on the look out to make a student’s life better, whether that be modelling them into a young leader or purely teaching them ‘thank you’ and ‘please.’

What you will notice is that students copy or imitate behaviour of their teachers, especially if a certain behaviour is repeated; it becomes normalised and, especially in today’s age, it may go unnoticed because the teacher ‘modelled’ this original behaviour. Is there anything that can be done to ensure that teachers are on ‘their best behaviour’ when in front of students?
