This document discusses the important role of teachers in shaping students' character development. It emphasizes that teachers have tremendous power to positively or negatively impact students' lives through their words, actions, attitudes and relationships. Successful teachers establish clear objectives, communicate purpose, adapt to student needs, model desired values and bring joy to learning. The most effective character formation occurs organically through caring relationships and teachers exemplifying core values, rather than artificial add-ons like posters or certificates.

I am the decisive element
in the classroom

that creates the climate
It is my daily mood
that makes the weather..

tremendous power
To make a child’s life……
Miserable or joyous

54. I can be
a tool of torture
or an instrument
of inspiration
I can humiliate
or humor
Hurt or
heal.

55. In all situations,
it is my response that decides
whether a crisis
will be escalated
or de-escalated
And a child
humanized
Or dehumanized.
