NLP : Prepare for the winners!

Teachers and education are two things in one, which teachers are the important part in the educational system and educational process. Every teacher in whole part of the world is hoping to make their students to be success and be better people in the world. Not many teachers know that to be a Perfect teacher is really difficult. being a teacher, for most of the teachers is only being the one who will deliver the material to students and or try to make sure that their students will get good score in the test or examination. It is the term of Teacher. But, nowadays with a huge and huger challenge from the world, a teacher is forced much and more to be more than a teacher, but be an Educator. An educator is a teacher who gives both material and education beyond of the material to improve the students' quality in knowledge, in intelligence  and become the winner for their life. To create a great generation with those characters, the teachers are forced to have a great qualification in conducting the teaching and learning process in the classroom,especially. A teacher must fulfill all "competences" and apply them in the real learning, and more a teacher must have a great technique and method plus learning strategies in the teaching process. Strategies? those are the biggest problem for teachers in recent years. Started with those problem, Social Responsibility Department (LPM) of University of Muria Kudus makes a cooperation with MI Islamiyah Gamong, Kudus to conduct a One Day Seminar and Training Program in the School in objective to prepare the students to have better way in learning through NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming. The NLP is a new concept in Learning process, especially related to the strategy that used by teachers in conducting teaching and learning process in the classroom. Since it was foud and developed by educators and experts in United States several years ago, The NLP now is becoming an alternative way in creating a good strategy for teaching and learning process. The NLP focuses on the mental and character building which brings the believe that every student is unique and has their specific competence. Teachers should not force the students to follow their way in teaching and learning process, but then teachers should adapt and control their teaching learning ways and technique based on the student needs. Moreover, teachers should be always positive thinking to the pupils, because students are only following what their teacher say or are saying. The Power of words also be one important focus in the NLP, every teacher is forced to be always positive thinking and give motivation for their students because the word they say (teachers) to students will be the reality they see. The last part, Ahdi Riyono, the trainer of the Program said that "This program is aimed to improve the teachers' quality in teaching learning process, refresh their minds about the new view in teaching learning process and prepare for the winners in the end of the process". As a teacher, of course we must try to improve and develop our quality every time, and always try to update then upgrade our ability in facing the new challenges in education, and more the challenges for the world.
