PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AS A TEACHER
The success of a teacher is nothing but the success of students. A teacher is bright not only in how he/she educating the students but also how cares the students and how inspires the students in academics and non-academics. Teacher professional development is any type of continuing education effort for educators. This is the way teachers can improve their skills and, in turn, boost student outcomes. Learning can take place in formal or informal settings. For formal settings, I have attended conferences, courses, seminars, retreats, and workshops. These all kinds’ sources helped me a lot to improve my professional development. The informal opportunities for teacher professional development include independent research or investigation, peer learning initiatives or even just chatting with a colleague in the staff room. I think it is very important to develop our profession. There are many students in a class with special needs and caring. A good teacher should help them to their learning and emotional as well as intellectual development. The experience can only help to learn how the students are and what the special needs of the students are. It’s obvious that good teachers are better at teaching students effectively. When teachers have access to continuous learning opportunities and professional development resources, they’re better equipped to become good teachers especially if their students have learning needs or are performing below or above grade level. Student achievement should be the ultimate goal of any teacher professional development activities. The success of a teacher can be account for by the development of her students in every aspect. In my teaching life, I want to become a success through the development of the students in all the aspects. •	The ability to develop relationships with their students is very important to a teacher. Because I think once the teacher develops a good relationship, the students can love the subject also. Teachers need to be able to build trusting relationships with students in order to create a safe, positive, and productive learning environment. So that learning becomes easier. •	Personality characteristics related to being a compassionate person and having sensitivity to student differences, particularly with learners, was the second most frequently reported quality. Teacher dispositions are strongly related to student learning and development. •	Dedication refers to a love of teaching or passion for the work, which includes a commitment to students’ success. Responses often referred to loving the subject matter or simply being dedicated to the work. To a student, this means a teacher should be “always willing to help and give time.” •	f you think about the best teachers you know, it makes sense. Those exceptional teachers develop strong bonds with students and use them to help students learn. Students also said that teachers should be able to engage and motivate students to learn.
