One of the most important intrinsic values in classroom management that need to be addressed with utmost seriousness is the motivation level of students in the class. A teacher may follow all steps required to effectively and efficiently conduct a lesson but if the students present are not well motivated to learn the lesson, the teachings would not reach them and the true purpose of teaching remains unachieved.

The Many Roles of a Teacher - TEFL Blog

Alumni Experiences
At the cafeteria during lunchtime, a student of mine approached and asked me, "Why did you become a teacher?" Dumbfounded by this brazen question, I did not know what to say. I could have chosen motherhood statements like "I want to make a difference in the world," "to have a positive impact on my student's lives, "or that "I love children." I ended up saying to him, "Well, I am good at teaching." However, the truth of the matter is, I needed a job and there was an opportunity so I took it. You can say it was fate that called me to be a teacher. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine myself being a Grade 3 homeroom teacher!
