Becoming a teacher every day
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Sometimes life as a teacher can be overwhelming
Words of wisdom that will soothe your heart
"Becoming a Teacher Every Day" is an essay that contains the teaching story of Lim Gwang-chan, a senior teacher who is known as the "teacher of teachers" and is actively working in various educational settings.
This book started from the author's pledge that 'a teacher is not someone who teaches, but someone who learns.'
In the book, the author states that despite having been a teacher for many years, he is still “in the process of becoming a teacher,” and emphasizes the need to constantly refine himself to improve every day.
And through eight keywords that permeate a teacher's life, such as education, preparation, reflection, and evaluation, it talks about the meaning of true education, attitude toward class, and concerns outside the classroom to help children's hearts bloom.
The author's life philosophy, which runs throughout the book, will serve as a guide for teachers who want to become good teachers but are unsure of where and how to begin, and for teachers who are worried these days because their original intentions have wavered.
Additionally, the author's self-improvement process and teaching know-how will provide specific help to teachers who aspire to become unique teachers.

Conclusion
Into the book
"Becoming a Teacher Every Day" is a book written with the intention of keeping in mind that a teacher is not someone who teaches, but someone who learns.
A teacher must always live in the present, in the here and now, from the beginning to the end.
So, I hope to become a teacher who knows how to show off his or her style, a teacher who knows how to bring out his or her own flavor.
---From the "Preface"
When you feel like your work is your work, and you empathize, share, and considerate, you become a truly growing teacher.
A school where many teachers ask for help from each other becomes a place of shade for each other in the heat and a place of shelter for each other in the cold, and they grow together.
--- p.91
Learning is not something you do with your head or heart, but with your hands and feet.
It is not something you just see with your eyes, but something you experience with your body.
It's not 'I' doing it alone, it's 'we' doing it together.
--- p.117
Reflection means not stopping but continuing with the flow.
It is a matter of the 'height' and 'width' of the eyes.
It means that I will ask questions without stopping at the answer.
--- p.162
Innovation is not an external teaching, but an internal self-reliance.
That's why it's not about 'being innovated', it's about 'innovating'.
It is not ‘newness’ but ‘deepening’.
At some point in your journey as an educator, you will see something new and take on the challenge of pursuing it.

Publisher's Review
“I am a current teacher.”
The story of a 37-year veteran teacher who confesses he's still learning.
Every teacher dreams of becoming a good teacher who can make flowers bloom in the hearts of children.
But I don't know where or how to start, and I get tired of looking for answers.
At times like this, I wish teachers had teachers too.
From classrooms where students take classes to training centers where teachers gain wisdom, author Lim Gwang-chan shares his experiences and know-how for better education regardless of location. He is a senior teacher who is known as the "Teachers' Teacher" and travels extensively across educational settings.
People around him call him a 'veteran teacher' and a 'perfect teacher', but surprisingly, the author says that he is still 'in the process of becoming a teacher'.
"Becoming a Teacher Every Day" is an educational essay that fully captures the author's mindset.
The author says that the job of a teacher is like that of a traveler.
Because teachers have to meet different students and colleagues every year, they have to be fearless in going to unfamiliar places, and they have to constantly research new lessons.
Therefore, the author does not consider himself a perfect teacher.
Here, it goes further and declares that 'a teacher is a learner.'
And based on this commitment, I have put all my thoughts and efforts over a long period of time into a book.
“A teacher is not someone who teaches, but someone who learns.”
The Life Attitude a Teacher Should Have, Summarized in Eight Keywords
The author has summarized the life of a teacher into eight keywords so that all teachers, from new teachers just starting out in their careers to experienced teachers who can flip through the pages of their textbooks with their eyes closed, can understand and empathize with the teaching profession.
The keywords for parts 1 through 4 are ‘education’, ‘preparation’, ‘reconstruction’, and ‘empathy’, respectively.
Here are the author's thoughts on teaching, the first task of a teacher.
Starting with a review of the meaning of true education, it explains step-by-step lesson preparation methods, the A to Z of restructuring, and how to communicate smoothly with students, all in a friendly and detailed manner, as if you were a fellow teacher sitting next to you.
Parts 5 through 8 deal with activities outside the classroom to strengthen teachers' abilities under the keywords of 'learning,' 'evaluation,' 'reflection,' and 'innovation.'
The author emphasizes that we must constantly refine ourselves outside of the classroom to grow every day.
In doing so, we discuss the importance of training, research on new evaluation methods, and ways to reflect for a better tomorrow.
The message the author wants to convey through these eight keywords is clear.
The point is that, in the distant future, when students remember their teacher, they should be able to hear, "That teacher was a real teacher."
"Becoming a Teacher Every Day" is a book that sympathizes with and comforts teachers who sometimes find life as a teacher burdensome.
Furthermore, this book is also a record of the life of a teacher who struggled throughout his life to survive as a teacher and to remain a teacher forever.
The author's practices to become an educator with his own unique style will serve as a guide to recapture the lost original intentions of teachers, and the author's consistent and diligent attitude toward life, reflected throughout the book, will resonate gently with all teachers.
