Imfundo ivame ukuchazwa njengesisekelo somphakathi oqinile, futhi enhliziyweni yemfundo kukhona othisha. Yibo abaletha izifundo ekuphileni, abakhuthaza abafundi ukuba bafunde, futhi abazinikela ekukhuleni nasekuthuthukisweni kwesizukulwane esilandelayo. Njengoba nje ochwepheshe bezakhiwo bebumba izinto zokusetshenziswa zibe izakhiwo ezinhle kakhulu, othisha babumba izingqondo ezisencane zibe abaholi besikhathi esizayo, abacabangi, kanye nabasunguli bezinto ezintsha. NgoSuku Lomhlaba Lothisha, sigubha intshisekelo nokuzinikela othisha abakuletha emsebenzini wabo nsuku zonke, futhi siyaqaphela indima ebalulekile abayidlalayo ekwakheni ikusasa elingcono kithi sonke.

Lolu thando lokufundisa lungalandelelwa emuva ebuntwaneni bukaNkz Thompson, lapho uthisha wakhe womlando wesikole samabanga aphezulu esebenzisa izindlela ezifanayo ukuze avuse uthando lwakhe ngalesi sifundo. Uvame ukwabelana ngalezi zindaba zomuntu siqu nabafundi bakhe, edala ukuxhumana okujulile futhi ekhombisa ukuthi ithonya lothisha oyedwa lingaba nomthelela ohlala njalo kanjani. Uthisha onothando angaguqula isahluko sencwadi esiyisicefe sibe yi-adventure ethokozisayo, enze abafundi babe nesifiso sokufunda okwengeziwe. Abafundisi nje ngoba kungumsebenzi—bafundisa ngoba bayakuthanda. Bathanda ukubona umzuzu lapho umfundi ekugcineni eqonda umqondo onzima, ukuziqhenya ebusweni bomntwana lapho eqeda iphrojekthi, kanye nenjabulo yokubuka abafundi bakhe bekhula futhi bevuthwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Lolu thando luyathelelana; lukhuthaza abafundi ukuba bahlakulele uthando lokufunda bona, isipho esizohlala nabo impilo yabo yonke.

Ukuzinikela kungenye isici esichaza othisha abahle kakhulu. Ukufundisa akuwona umsebenzi owenziwa abantu abangu-9 kuya kwabangu-5. Kuhilela ekuseni kakhulu ukulungiselela izifundo, ukubhala amamaki ebusuku kakhulu, kanye nokuhlela imisebenzi ngezimpelasonto. UMnu. Rodriguez, isibonelo, ufika esikoleni emahoreni amabili ngaphambi kokuba amakilasi aqale ukuze ahlele izivivinyo zesayensi ezisebenzayo futhi ahlale ngemva kokuxoshwa ukuze afundise abafundi ababhekene nezibalo. Ngaphandle kwamahora esikole avamile, uphinde anikele ngesikhathi sakhe ngesikhathi sekhefu lesikole ukuze ahlele amakamu esayensi abafundi abafisa ukungena ngokujulile kulesi sifundo.

Othisha bavame ukwenza okungaphezu kwemisebenzi yabo esemthethweni: ukuhlala ngemva kwesikole ukuze basize umfundi onenkinga, ukuhlela imisebenzi yangaphandle kwesikole, noma ukuya emihlanganweni yabazali nothisha kusihlwa. Badela isikhathi sabo namandla abo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abafundi babo banethuba elingcono kakhulu lokuphumelela. Ngisho nalapho bebhekene nezinselele—njengezinsizakusebenza ezimbalwa, abafundi abanzima, noma izingcindezi zokuphatha—bahlala bezinikele kubafundi babo nasemsebenzini wabo. UMnu. Rodriguez, isibonelo, waziwa ngokusebenzisa imali yakhe ukuthenga imishini yesayensi eyengeziwe lapho isabelomali sesikole singanele, konke lokhu egameni lokunikeza ulwazi lokufunda olucebisa abafundi bakhe.

Uthando nokuzinikela kothisha kunomthelela omkhulu kubafundi. Uthisha onothando angavusa ilukuluku lomfundi futhi amkhuthaze ukuba aphishekele amaphupho akhe. Cabanga ngoSarah, owayedelela izincwadi waze wahlangana noMnu. Wilson. Ukufunda kwakhe okunezithombe zamaShakespearean kanye nezingxoxo ezishukumisa ingqondo ngamanoveli anamuhla kwashintsha umbono wakhe, okwamholela ekufundeni izincwadi zesiNgisi ekolishi. UMnu. Wilson akagcinanga ngokufundisa ikharikhulamu kuphela; waphinde wethula uSarah ekilabhini lezincwadi lendawo, lapho akwazi khona ukuxhumana nababhali abashicilelwe kanye nabanye abathandayo. Lokhu kuvezwa akuzange kujulise uthando lwakhe ngezincwadi kuphela kodwa futhi kwamnika nokuzethemba kokuqala ukubhala izindaba zakhe.

Uthisha oshisekayo angenza umfundi ozonda izibalo aqale ukuzijabulela, noma aguqule umfundi owesaba ukukhuluma esidlangalaleni abe umethuli ozethembayo. Uthisha ozinikele angasiza umfundi osala ngemuva ukuba afinyelele, noma anikeze ukusekelwa umfundi akudingayo ukuze anqobe izithiyo zomuntu siqu. UNkk. Chen waphawula ukuthi amamaki kaLily ayehla futhi wathola ukuthi umndeni wakhe wawubhekene nobunzima bezezimali. Ngokunikeza ukusekelwa ngokomzwelo, izinto zokufunda ezengeziwe, ngisho nokuhlinzeka ngempahla yesikole ngobuhlakani, uNkk. Chen wasiza uLily ukuthi ahlale endleleni efanele yezemfundo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uNkk. Chen waxhumanisa uLily nenhlangano yokusiza umphakathi yendawo eyanikeza usizo lwezezimali ngemali yakhe yesikole, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uLily angagxila ezifundweni zakhe ngaphandle kokucindezeleka okwengeziwe kokukhathazeka ngezezimali. Le mizamo ingashintsha inkambo yokuphila komfundi, ibanike amathuluzi nokuzethemba abakudingayo ukuze baphumelele.

Othisha nabo badlala indima ebalulekile ekudaleni indawo yokufundela enhle nebandakanya wonke umuntu. Uthisha onothando nozinikele usebenza ukwakha ubudlelwano nabafundi bakhe, azi izintshisekelo zabo, amandla abo, kanye nobuthakathaka babo. UNksz Kim uqala isemester ngayinye ngokwenza abafundi bakhe amaphosta e-“All About Me” futhi aphathe “imibuthano yokwabelana” yamasonto onke ukuze akhuthaze ukuxhumana okuvulekile. Ukuze athuthukise ukubandakanya wonke umuntu, ufaka izincwadi ezahlukahlukene kanye nemibono yomlando ezifundweni zakhe, ekhuthaza abafundi ukuba bazise futhi bahloniphe amasiko nemibono ehlukene.

Uphinde asebenzise uhlelo lokuqeqesha ontanga, lapho abafundi behlanganiswa khona ngokusekelwe emandleni abo nasezindaweni abangazithuthukisa, okubavumela ukuthi bafunde futhi basekelane. Bakha izifundo ezithinta inhliziyo nezifanele, futhi bakhuthaza abafundi ukuthi basekelane futhi bahloniphane. Esimweni esinjalo, abafundi bazizwa bephephile ukubuza imibuzo, ukuthatha izingozi, nokuba yibo ngokwabo. Lokhu akugcini nje ngokuthuthukisa imiphumela yezemfundo kodwa futhi kusiza abafundi ukuthuthukisa amakhono okuxhumana nabantu nangokomzwelo abalulekile empumelelweni empilweni.

Ezweni lanamuhla, lapho imfundo ibhekene nezinselele eziningi—njengokwanda kokufunda ku-inthanethi, umthelela wobhubhane, kanye nesidingo sokulungiselela abafundi imakethe yemisebenzi eshintsha ngokushesha—intshisekelo nokuzinikela kothisha kubaluleke kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili. Ngesikhathi sokuvalelwa kwe-COVID-19, othisha abanjengoMnu. Lee basheshe bazivumelanisa nokufunda amapulatifomu amasha emihlangano yevidiyo, baklame izifundo ezisebenzisanayo ku-inthanethi, futhi baqhube amahora ehhovisi asebenza nge-inthanethi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abafundi abasali emuva. Waqaphela futhi amathuba okuhlukaniswa nabantu ngalesi sikhathi futhi wahlela amaphrojekthi eqembu asebenza nge-inthanethi kanye nezikhathi zokufunda eziku-inthanethi ukuze abafundi bahlale bexhumene futhi behilelekile.

Othisha kuye kwadingeka bazivumelanise nezindlela ezintsha zokufundisa, bafunde ubuchwepheshe obusha, futhi basekele abafundi ngezikhathi ezinzima. Kukho konke lokhu, bahlale bezibophezele kubafundi babo, bethola izindlela ezintsha zokubagcina behilelekile futhi benogqozi. Ukuqina kwabo kanye nokuguquguquka kwabo kuwubufakazi bentshisekelo yabo yokufundisa kanye nokuzinikela kwabo empumelelweni yabafundi babo. Othisha abaningi, njengoMnu. Lee, nabo bathathe isinyathelo sokuhlinzeka ngezinsiza zempilo yengqondo kanye nokusekelwa kubafundi babo, beqaphela umonakalo owawubangelwa ubhubhane enhlalakahleni yabo.

NgoSuku Lothisha Lomhlaba, kufanele sizinike isikhathi sokubonga othisha ngentshiseko nokuzinikela kwabo. Kufanele sibazise ukuthi umsebenzi wabo onzima uyaziswa, nokuthi umthelela abanawo kubafundi babo awunakulinganiswa. Kufanele futhi sikhuthaze ukwesekwa okungcono kothisha, okuhlanganisa amaholo aphezulu, izinsiza ezengeziwe, kanye nezimo zokusebenza ezingcono. Ngoba uma sitshala imali kothisha, sitshala imali ekusaseni lomphakathi wethu.

Inhliziyo yemfundo ayikho ezincwadini zokufunda, emakilasini, noma kwezobuchwepheshe—ikuthisha abenza konke kube ngokoqobo. Yibo abenza imfundo ibe nenjongo, abakhuthaza abafundi ukuba bafunde, futhi abakha ikusasa lomhlaba wethu. Ngakho-ke ngalolu Suku Lothisha Lomhlaba, masigubhe intshisekelo nokuzinikela kothisha yonke indawo, futhi masizibophezele ekubasekeleni emsebenzini wabo obalulekile.
