On our last post we saw how my life was as a teacher at Lushoto and we ended up talking about every teacher being transferred away.I was the last teacher of that time who got transferred.

Do you know where I went after Ntambwe Secondary School?. Do you know what happened where I went?. Lets go together to this next working place where I lived very strange life which I didn't even expect to live like that in my life.Here we will start with my journey to the Island.  

TEACHER'S LIFE IN TANZANIA AND THE EFFECTS TO STUDENTS.

Did you ever think why many of the top leaders in Tanzanian Government were teachers before?. Did you even think why most of them had to quit their teaching carriers and become politicians?.

I will not give you the answer here but i just want you to figure that out by yourself after reading the real teaching life experience from myself as a teacher.I will tell you how i felt before about teaching and how I feel now,especially after 9 years of teaching experience.

As a teacher before teaching you need to ask yourself if you teach your students to master skills of life so they can use these skills to control their lives or you just teach them to pass their National examinations.

LOVE LANGUAGE AND TEACHING.

Love is one of the very important things in teaching.With no love teaching is almost impossible.This is because love is one of the very essential human need.I can say Happiness and love are the to needs of human being and most of the time we are working for them .Due to that fact every human being has a language of love which when used the person respond,understand or become so happy. A person might also prefer other love languages but there is one which is most preferred by that person.These languages of love are as follows;

LEARNING THROUGH PLAYING.

One of the characteristics of a good teacher is to understand his or her students.Without understanding your students you won't be able to provide what they want hence failing to help them achieve their goals.All parents and of course teachers understand that play is one of the primary needs of children!,sometimes even in class apart from listening to the teacher, students would prefer playing with objects on the floor(especially if the teacher is keeping them sitting down for long time without giving them chance to be active in class.
