Benefits Of Having Your Child Professionally Schooled

The benefits of having your child trained by a qualified teacher as opposed to keeping your child at home thinking that you save yourself money

In this blog post, I will discuss why it is important to have your child trained by a qualified teacher instead of keeping your child at home thinking that you save yourself money. I will explain what a qualified teacher is, what benefits they offer to your child’s learning and development, and how they can help you as a parent.

What is a qualified teacher?

A qualified teacher is someone who has completed a professional degree or certificate in education, such as a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) or a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). A qualified teacher has also registered with the South African Council for Educators (SACE) and follows the code of ethics and standards of the profession.

A qualified teacher has been trained in various aspects of teaching and learning, such as curriculum design, pedagogy, assessment, classroom management, differentiation, inclusion, and more. A qualified teacher also has subject-matter knowledge and skills that are relevant to the phase (level of schooling) and subjects that they teach.

What benefits does a qualified teacher offer to your child’s learning and development?

A qualified teacher offers many benefits to your child’s learning and development. Some of these benefits are:

• They offer different techniques and methods for students to learn. This may include hands-on teaching, allowing the student to interact with what they are learning, or having them explain it back in their own words.
• They are well-trained in how people learn differently from person to person. They know how to teach the individual according to their strengths, needs, interests, and preferences.
• They make learning fun and exciting for students. They use engaging activities, games, stories, examples, and resources that capture the attention and curiosity of learners.
• They provide various resources for children’s mental and psychological well-being. They can support students who face challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, bullying, trauma, or other issues.
• They have the ability to connect with students on a personal level. They know how each child learns best, which is an important skill as a teacher. They also care about their student’s progress, happiness, and success.

How can a qualified teacher help you as a parent?

A qualified teacher can also help you as a parent in many ways. Some of these ways are:

• They can communicate with you regularly about your child’s performance, behaviour, and needs. They can give you feedback, advice, and suggestions on how to support your child at home.
• They can collaborate with you on setting goals, expectations, and plans for your child’s learning. They can involve you in decision-making processes that affect your child’s education.
• They can inspire you with their passion, commitment, and dedication. They can show you how rewarding and fulfilling teaching is as a profession. They can also encourage you to pursue further education or training if you wish.

Conclusion

In conclusion, having your child trained by a qualified teacher is much more beneficial than keeping your child at home thinking that you save yourself money. A qualified teacher can offer many advantages to your child’s learning and development, as well as to you as a parent. By choosing a qualified teacher for your child, you are investing in their future success.
