[Are Teachers CEOs⁉️] It's okay to be inexperienced. Inexperience is good.

Hello!
I'm Dai, a supporter for first-time homeroom teachers!

I mainly post about the theme of "school education."

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□
1. People with high ideals regarding "education"
2. (But) people whose reality hasn't caught up with them
3. (Therefore) people who lack confidence and are struggling without comrades
4. People who want to be themselves

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□

For those people,

I will share
valuable lessons I have gained through my own investments

on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
at a frequency of three times a week.

I will post
while interweaving paid articles.

Even in the free sections,
there is plenty of
useful learning, so

please stay with me until the end.

Teacher types (attributes)

What kind of types
are there among school teachers??

I suddenly thought about this
on the train this morning.

When I imagine the faces of the teachers
at the schools where I have worked,
I realized there were all sorts.

"Coach (sports instructor)" type

Also known as the "consultant" type.

There are many of them, for sure.

Instructors who take students to the Kanto region or national (world!) level in sports like lacrosse and soccer, or cultural activities like shogi and robotics.
I have seen many of them.

Their words have power, and their belief in "winning (achieving results)"
is overwhelmingly strong,

and they were very skilled at drawing out student motivation and creating mechanisms to raise the level of the entire team.

"Scholar" or "Researcher" type

I feel like there are many teachers with these attributes as well.
Perhaps it's even more so because (the schools I worked at) were high schools?

When you ask them about "The Tale of Genji,"
there are people who will give you such a detailed explanation
that you'd think, "Is this person a university professor?"

They always have about 20 unread books piled up next to their desk.

They are erudite and know everything.
When it comes to academic topics, they get so absorbed
that they have the eyes of a child.
It was fascinating.

The "Childcare Worker"
the "Public Health Nurse"
the "Counselor" type

Their depth of understanding of students is outstanding.

It's good to have
a sense of strictness behind the kindness.

They are caring,
(in a good way) meddlesome,
and always looking out for the students.

While coordinating with external organizations
such as child consultation centers and the police,
they work as a team to care for students facing challenges.

The "Presenter"
the "Performer"
the "Artist" type

They view their class
as a single performance (work of art),
sticking to their own aesthetic sense and standards,

and there are certainly people who are genius at
captivating students.

They create a unique atmosphere even in the staff room,
and are held in high regard.

There are always a certain number of
hardcore fans (students) (lol).

Other types

Teachers, in a sense,
need to "act," you know.

The "Actor" typeexists too.

In front of students versus in front of staff,
they are like a completely different person (bitter laugh).

Even if they don't interact directly with students,
there are teachers who work hard
to support the school's systems
and for the benefit of the students.
This is the so-called"Administrative" type.

There is a common societal belief that
"Teacher = likes children,"
but there are actually teachers who dislike children.

There are also many who are socially awkward.
This is just between us, though (lol).

What is the foundation for demonstrating expertise?

Thinking about it that way,
the job of a "teacher"
has a breadth that cannot
be defined simply as "this is it!"

"Fire," "Water," "Electric," "Psychic"...
It's just like Pokémon types.

A teacher's job is diverse.

I believe that you, too,
should take your time,

and gradually cultivate
your expertise (strengths).

Now, the main theme for this time starts here.


The foundation that serves as the basisfor demonstrating expertise,

something that every teacher
must possess.

If asked, "What is that?"

how would you answer?

In a word, my answer is
"humanity."

However, just saying "humanity"
is too abstract,
so I would like to try to make it concrete.

This is just my personal opinion,

but if you break down "humanity,"
there are three elements.

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□
1. Desire to grow
(Not comparing yourself to others,
but updating your past self)
2. Interest in students
(Imagination to consider even the invisible parts)
3. Management (leader) mindset
□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□

1 and 2 are self-evident.

Regarding 3,
to explain in detail,

If you are a homeroom teacher,
at that very moment,
you are a classroom manager.

And not at the president level!
(The president is the class representative)

You are the class's
CEO (Chief Executive Officer)(laughs).

Even if you leave the president's seat
to the class representative,
and even if you don't make any flashy moves on the surface,

your discretion,
the breadth of your character,
and your leadership
will change the atmosphere of the classroom surprisingly.

It's okay to be inexperienced. Being inexperienced is good.

There is confusion, isn't there?
That is exactly right (laughs)!!

However,
this is the interesting part about schools, and
that is perfectly fine!!

The mindset that every homeroom teacher
should aim for is that of a
CEO (Chief Executive Officer).

But right now, you are just a green rookie.

The gap is huge (lol).
And that is fine.

Because,
when that happens,
inevitably,

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□
a story of an inexperienced adult
growing and developing
unfolds right before the students' eyes.
□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□

That is a good thing!

In fact,
the realistic possibility of a teacher
who has a fully formed personality
and CEO-level management skills
is practically zero.

Even if they exist, they are a 1% rarity in the field.
Like a crested ibis.

Such people would likely
be promoted to principal immediately, so

after all,
teachers who interact with students
are people who are still developing.

That is fine.
That is good.

First, while establishing a CEO mindset as your foundation,
let's work on enhancing your expertise (strengths).

Don't rush; it's okay to take it one step at a time.

While interacting with colleagues, seniors,
and above all, your students,
you will grow.

Please understand that
continuously exposing that process to your students is your job as a homeroom teacher.

Stumbling around
and falling seven times, getting up eight.

That figure
is, for the students,
the ultimate 'textbook'.

Therefore,
I repeat,

Teachers are,

It's okay to be inexperienced.
Inexperience is good.

Let's snap and
shatter that strange

pride of yours
into pieces early on.

Thank you
for reading until the end.

For those who are anxious or
struggling with how to interact with students

I have started an official LINE account
to help you say,
“I’m glad I became a teacher!”

“My students won't listen to me at all”
“I hate my colleagues and the parents”

For those who have
these kinds of worries,

I send out regular content
to help you reach the point where you can say,
“I’m glad I became a teacher!”

You can register for free,
so please take this opportunity to sign up
