TEACHER - mentor, teacher; professor; educator. (DAL) Teacher - a person engaged in the teaching of n. subject in the lower and middle school, teacher, school employee. (Ushakov) Teacher - a person employed teaching children in high school. Teacher - an employee of the university, college, rarely used in reference to an employee of the school. Teacher - not only the teacher or teacher, but also an educator. (Synonym dictionary) TEACHER. Oznachennoye word is sometimes used instead of a Jewish Rabbi, or Chaldean. In this and other similar cases, it is the spiritual leader. It is used so often in the sense of an ordinary teacher. (Bible Encyclopedia) So, from the above it follows that the concept of teacher widespread and versatile. In my view, the perfect teacher - a true Russian intellectual (in the best sense of the word), a smart, slim, well-educated, broad-minded, bright personality and creative, open-minded person with a great sense of humor. This is - this humanist basis of ideology which are universal values. This one-piece deep personality, a man crystal honest and extremely honest, sincere and principled, having an active life and citizenship. In my opinion the human qualities are paramount for teachers, as they determine human behavior in society, his attitude to the world and to the profession. Accordingly, honest, decent and creative person with active citizenship is and knowledgeable teacher, and a great Methodist, and beautiful psychologist, principled and fair. I believe that the ideal teacher should certainly have any creative hobbies (painting, literature, sports, music, programming, etc.), To engage in socially useful or scientific activities. Only genuinely enthusiastic person can inspire another. For example, VA Zhukovsky, known and recognized poet, at the same time was a teacher in the royal family, the great Russian writer Leo Thick as a teacher in a rural school, and MV Lomonosov combined scientific and creative work in various fields of science and teaching. That is why the teacher's activity is not related to its direct work, supports and develops its intellectual potential, provides further creative growth and broaden their horizons. At preschool age I was lucky enough to meet the unique teacher, children's writer and a wonderful man Tatiana Rick. Acquaintance began with the first books I read on their own "Hello, Uncle verb" from "Funny textbooks." The book was so exciting that I wanted to continue the acquaintance with the other parts of speech, but in the free sale of books was not there. Then my grandmother wrote a letter to the author, and, surprisingly, Tatiana called and invited to come to visit for books. So took our personal acquaintance with this amazing, young and very pretty woman. Tatiana - a simple man of destiny, is a serious disease, but, thanks to the active position in life, traveling the world, meeting with readers, is a teacher of Russian language in schools for the disabled (remote-remote education), writes books, makes them illustrations, educates young son. Rick T. wonderful books written entertaining, fun and easy, magically helped me learn quickly and independently read, write competently, awakened love for the Russian language and literature. It is difficult not to agree with the words of AS Makarenko: "Brings all: people, things, events, but first and longest - people. Of these, the first place - parents and teachers." School years - the most important period in the life of every human being. This time, not only gaining knowledge and skills, but also an important stage in the formation and development of the individual, the disclosure of its creative potential, self-awareness, in collaboration with the community. Personality of the teacher in matters of education plays a crucial role. Ideal teacher - a friend, a senior fellow, genuinely interested in the fate of wards: knows not only the features of the nature and problems of the student, but also aware of his life circumstances, has close contact with parents. In my opinion, the main task of the teacher - not just pass a certain amount of knowledge of the student, and to learn to think, that is, to search for answers to questions, make unconventional decisions, find compromises. The way to achieve this goal the ideal teacher is able to turn into a fascinating journey through the country of knowledge, to show the connection between the spiritual and the material, ancient and ultra-modern, real and imaginary. Recently, the state pays great attention to the modernization of the school, which is certainly fine. However, no technical equipment the school will never be able to replace important in the learning process - the teacher-mentors. The more ideal teachers, more perfect, more educated, intelligent and humane our society will become. Remarkably said LN Tolstoy: "And education, and education are inseparable. We can not educate without transferring knowledge, the knowledge of all valid educational."
