Name: Mr. Richard Bergh Teaching responsibility: Grade 4 Homeroom teacher Qualifications: National Professional Diploma in Education Years of teaching experience: 18 years Country of origin: South Africa My interests and hobbies: |
What I love most about my work as a teacher: Bringing students to a point of enlightenment regarding a topic they previously did not understand. |
My personal belief about teaching:
Teaching is a calling and a responsibility. “Even the emperor had a teacher”(Chinese proverb), which would seem to emphasize the importance of a teacher in society, but to me it places great responsibility on the teacher, because if the emperor is bad, one could argue that his teacher is to blame. |
My promise to my students and their parents:
I promise to do my best to: 1. Be a role model that will inspire you/your children to become good citizens of this country and the world. 2. Teach you/them to think for themselves. 3. Teach you/them how to learn and not simply “what” to learn |
