Why must the teacher be aware and sensitive to the hidden curriculum?
Hidden curriculum is a part of our education, these are part of lessons which are not intended
to teach but acquired by the learner. Any learning experience may teach an unintended lesson
and usually observed. Such as norms, values and beliefs conveyed in the classroom and society.
Showing sensitivity and awareness is a duty of a teacher. In terms of the hidden curriculum, we
should pay attention into it. As we care about our own profession, we should also regard our
students and the institution we ought to.
Awareness is next to preparedness, as a teacher, we need to be fully equipped with the
changing curriculum as well as being aware of the hidden one.
Nothing else will benefit from these but the whole society starting from the students and
institutions then the larger scales of community. Our duty is to be sensitive enough to notice
the people's need in terms of learning and quality education. Take the lead for the betterment
of all and be beacon to illuminates one's path.

Teacher as Third Parents elem
Elementary school teachers contribute tremendously to student development. A child's
experiences in their formative years shape them into the person they will become and teachers
help in no small way to discover who that will be. Because teachers are such a big part of their
students' lives, many develop almost parental relationships with them.
Due to the sheer amount of time that school is in session, teachers are tasked with being
positive role models and mentors to their students every day. Students learn so much more
than math, language arts, and social studies from their teachers—they learn social skills like
how to be kind to others and make friends, when to ask for help or be independent, how to
distinguish between right and wrong, and other life lessons that parents tend to echo. In many
cases, students learn these things from teachers first.
The nuances of a teacher's role as a semi-parent largely depend on the age of their students but
almost all teachers learn to care deeply for their students and always want the best for them.
Whether a student is close with their teacher or not, they probably respect and revere them
much like they do their own parents or guardians and teachers probably treat them as they
would their own children. In some cases, teachers may be a student's only mentor.
Being an early childhood teacher requires
you to be willing to wear many hats. As
an experienced teacher, you are already
prepared to be flexible. As a new teacher,
remember that your job description may
change on a daily basis.
In most cases, your role as an early childhood
teacher will be very similar to that of a guide.
A guide leads others down new paths. A
guide walks beside a person on a journey, not
in front. A guide also keeps others safe from
harm.
As an early childhood teacher, you will be challenged to find new experiences to share with
children. Guide children, do not lead them, and move in a direction that interests the child. As
a guide, allow the child to choose their learning and playing style while making safety your
number one concern!
Give up the notion that a teacher knows everything. Become a partner in learning and
encourage children to find their own answers instead of providing the answers for them. By
being a partner, teachers learn with the children and share in their experiences.
Early childhood teachers support learning by providing activities and materials that children
find engaging. By facilitating learning, supplying a developmentally appropriate environment,
interesting materials, and adequate time to explore, play, and interact, children find learning
easy and fun!
To nurture is to nourish. Nurturing a child encompasses all aspects of development: social,
emotional, cognitive, and physical. In every interaction, a teacher should nurture appropriate
growth and development.
