Pehchaan The Street School (Trust)
Some say that teachers can be thought of as gardeners because they create conditions for students to grow, similar to how gardeners create conditions for plants. Here are some ways teachers can be like gardeners :
Planting seeds 🍃
Teachers plant seeds for growth and opportunity every day, such as content, information, skills, or knowledge.
Cultivating patience ☘️
Teachers need to focus on small steps and be patient for student growth to lead to success.
Creating an environment 🍀
Teachers create an environment that includes physical elements, such as books, tools, and records, as well as emotional elements, such as spiritual, moral, and intellectual elements.
Adapting to conditions 🌳
Teachers need to study the environment before planting, customize materials, water seedlings, watch the weather, fertilize, and adapt to changing conditions.
Tending to students 🌸
Teachers tend to students, watch them grow, and see their successes and failures. They also worry about students when they are not around and consider what they can give students tomorrow to help them grow.
