BE A SUCCESSFUL TEACHER
Dr.T.V.Rao MD
We the Teachers Should Becoming a successful faculty member at a Medical College or any Institution is no trivial undertaking. People are not born knowing how to prepare and deliver effective lectures, make good use of the growing power of Instructional technology,
Help the Students in Many ways Possible
Write rigorous but fair assignments and exams, help students deal with a bewildering array of academic and personal problems, build reasonably good research program, and teaching assistants
Balancing life with Academics
Balance the endless and often conflicting time demands imposed by teaching, , service, and personal life. It takes most faculty members long years of trial and error to learn how to do all that, and some never quite figure it out.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 5
Most of us are interested in improving something about ourselves: our productivity, our sanity, our organization, our happiness, our effectiveness, our impact on the environment, our minds, our dreams.
Every one is interested in improving the world but few practice it ?
Teachers are no exception
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 7
Think to make make better decisions - decisions that benefit yourself and others - this leads to more success in business and finances. You are also more productive when you're happy.
Think about making better decisions, do not worry even if you fail?
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 8
Learn something “new” each day to keep growing intellectually. Stagnation of thoughts will eventually end up giving you a cesspool of nothingness. Be curious. Become growth oriented. Always look for information that enhances your personal performance or position in life. “Lazy” is not part of this process!
Learn something new every day
Our Main Job Is Teaching[Lecture preparation]
On average, it should take two hours to prepare a new 1-hour lecture on material you know, three at most; half-an-hour to revise a 1-hour lecture; and roughly 30 hours to prepare a 1-hour interactive web lecture. If it takes you much more than that, you’re probably over preparing (a common mistake made by new faculty members).
Avoiding Overloaded Syllabus
Have several professors independently analyse the content of a course and decide which topics they would not include. Those topics may generally be considered optional. Over doing things causes confusion
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 11
Many Teachers loose interest in reading other than what they are supposed to Teach, However Choose a book that requires effort and concentration and read a little of it every day, so that you read it from cover to cover in 100 days.
Read a book on something other than you know
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 12
Use instructional technology only for tasks that are essential to the course and cannot be done as well—if at all—without it, and when the added cost of using it is reasonable. If you decide to use it and you’re not an expert, get help.
Use Instructional technology
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 13
Design tests so that 15–20% of the material is covered only in the lectures, 15–20% only in the readings, and the remaining 60–70% in both. To make sure that a test is not too long, work through it yourself and multiply your solution
Design the Tests with Caution and Practicability
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 14
When someone does or says something that upsets you, take a minute to think over your response instead of answering right away Teachers are targets for criticisms Think how much you are responsible before you React ?
Teachers are targets for criticisms
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 15
A sense of humour can help you become a successful teacher. Your sense of humor can relieve tense classroom situations before they become disruptions. A sense of humor will also make class more enjoyable for your students and possibly make students look forward to attending and paying attention
Create A Sense of Humour
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 16
Most importantly, a sense of humor will allow you to see the joy in life and make you a happier person as you progress through this sometimes stressful career.
Humour makes you Joyful
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 17
A consistent teacher is the same person from day to day. A fair teacher treats students equally in the same situation. For example, students complain of unfairness when teachers treat one gender or group of students differently.
Be a Consistent Teacher
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 18
We should be friendly but not become friends. Friendship implies give and take. This can put you in a tough situation with all the students in the class. Teaching is not a popularity contest and you are not just one of the guys or girls. Always remember that.
Becoming friends with students while they are in class.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 19
Good teachers try and try and try, and let students know they try. Just as we respect students who really try, even if they do not succeed in everything they do, so they will respect us, even if we are not as good as we want to be.
Good Teachers Really Want to Be Good Teachers
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 20
Negative talk produces negative thoughts; negative thoughts produce negative results”, Feed your mind with the thoughts, words, and images that are most consistent with who you want to be, what you want to have, and what you want to achieve.
Think positive avoid negative ideas Thinking positive is the Best Option
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 21
We teachers have something called academic freedom. Too many of us interpret that to mean the freedom from firing. I love taking risks. It keeps some excitement in what is, after all, a pretty placid profession.
Never Forget We are Gifted People
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 22
I like to try things that can fail. If there is no chance of failure, then success is meaningless.
Do not bother
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 23
Become aware of the differences between how you treat others, and how you treat yourself. Are you dismisive of yourself? Do you treat yourself with the same respect that you treat others?
Teach Others How to Treat You
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 24
Just about all of the good teachers I have known are eternally busy.
Good Teachers Never Have Enough Time
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 25
For good teachers the day is never done. While it does not follow that any teacher who keeps busy is a good teacher, the good teachers I know rarely have time to relax
Good teacher have little Time to Relax
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 26
It sounds simple and old, but it is absolutely true. Often we don't realise how sullen we are. Consciously making an effort to smile more - even when you're alone (especially when you're alone) will increase your general state of mind automatically.
Smile More – Complain less
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 27

There will be days when you hear things from students about other teachers that you just think are terrible. However, you should be noncommittal to the students and take your concerns to the teacher themselves or to administration.
Ignore the Comments on other Teachers
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 30
I have noticed that good teachers, when they get really good evaluations, don't quite believe them. They focus instead on the one or two erratic evaluations that say something bad about them. They good teachers tend to trust only the negative evaluations
Good Teachers Do Not Trust Student Evaluations
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 31
