For Teachers: Leading Self in the 21st Century
Our first quarter development initiative for public schools and low-income geographical regions took us to St. Martin Nursery/Primary School, Igboukwu, Anambra State, Nigeria Monday, the 6th of February 2018. It was such a delight sharing our thoughts with 28 teachers on “Leading Self in 21st Century”.Beginning with factors of production, the need for balance of the four factors for guarantee success, we created a line of sight of their role (Labour) with the goals of the school and their contribution to ensuring that each pupil in class is equipped with the skills to compete on the global scene. Bringing different dimensions and perspectives on how they should begin to think of themselves and what they actually do on daily basis, we observed that despite being constrained by location, amenities, learning and teaching aids, these remarkable teachers and theirAdministrators were whole heartedly committed to transcending each barrier and doing the needful. They shared their thoughts and asked what they could do and how they could together collaborate to meet the objective of the school. We encouragedthem to articulate and understandtheir individual “WHY’s” as a key influential ingredient on what they choose and begin to do.
In our normal fashion we asked the Elephant in the room question-
Why are you teaching?
Some responses stated the obvious (economic ends), which was expected, we did not hesitate to remind them of their inherent ability, power and right to choose their actions and experiences. That by exercising this power to choose their attitude, actions, deeds and belief systems in line with the objectives of the school, they would be taking a stake in the intellectual development of the future workforce and contributing their share to the nations developmental goals. For the people side of the business to do its best work, it is imperative that caregivers (teachers) and doing so for the right reasons. It is only in that mindset will they be able to apply themselves to building a rich pool of talent from these young stars.
