A poem -one of teacher Ari's
teaching excellence, great teacher qualities...
"His concern -so sincere!..
Greatly respected everywhere!
Years spent to illuminate… More: hearts, his
sultanate!"
(Metiner, Birlik
1993)
The poem stresses the great
teacher's (in teaching excellence, too) honesty:
"As built his honesty a throne, in every heart, that
rules!"
A great teacher cares. Teacher
Orhan Ari's great teachers' approach and educational leadership
considered a student generally in teacher student relations:
students' personal circumstances affected their learning, teaching,
education. In this great teacher's school leadership that was not
just a teaching, learning theory; it was a practical concern in
teaching to educators, good teachers -it enhanced this great
teacher's teaching skills...
"...his concern for, and help
to, his pupils, extended beyond their educational activities and
lives…"
(Fedai, Halkin Sesi 1992)
One the qualities of great
teachers is that in approaching student behavior management in
class (or in head teachers' school discipline) they use student
discipline as behaviour education not punishment, with knowledge of
a pupil's likes and dislikes and familiarity with students'
circumstances. This great teacher applied student discipline with a
sincere private discussion and care about students' feelings,
without humiliating in school discipline, acknowledging their
abilities and potential, with interested appreciation of pupils'
nature -teacher Orhan Ari's poetry reflects
this:
'Sometimes such fools we were,
sometimes smart kids
Sometimes Satan's tools, sometimes with saintly
deeds'
A great teacher motivates. In
parent teacher meetings this great teacher's educational and
teaching skills, enhanced by people skills in human relations,
included appreciating intrinsic parent-student aspirations. Teacher
Orhan Ari, with great teachers' teaching excellence, informed
parents of students' good behaviour, educational progress,
achievements, making both proud; he explained students' abilities,
potential, as incentive for parental educational encouragement of
pupils. Orhan Ari's people and motivational teaching skills,
education leadership, involved parents less interested in pupils'
education, enhancing his staff and colleague teachers', this great
educator's student motivation. Great teachers respect social values
-it aids teaching excellence, great teachers' parent-pupil
motivation:
'In secondary school our
teacher Orhan Seyfi Ari took us to weekly
prayers'
(Ersoy -Huryildiz
2008)
A great teacher is dedicated.
This great teacher's motivation, help to parents and students
extended beyond the requirements in teaching and education from
teachers, in educational leadership from head teachers. Teacher
Ari's people skills and dedication earned him not only his pupils',
students', parents' trust, confidence, but usefully to trade-craft
trainees in vocational study, also the respect of the business
community...
"We'd fallen out, going to
lawyers; we came across this teacher Ari…
He said, 'Don't (etc)' -and,
so, I was able to complete my apprenticeship"
(Tezel, Golden Frame Interviews -Halkin Sesi Sunday
Supplement 2004)
Great teachers are
aproachable. Teacher Orhan Ari's teacher excellence in educational
human relations, people and teaching skills, not only with
motivational teaching kept secondary school pupils
interested, encouraged also the quiet and shy pupils, enjoyed
teaching and teacher popularity with his sharp wit, appropriate
jokes and approachability; also, with his adult college students
this great teacher's popularity was enormous,
lasting...
"...I met Orhan Seyfi Ari at
college -our friendship continued for years…"
(Kitromilides 'Images from My
Life' -Nicholas, London 2002)
Truly great teachers' globally
popular educational leadership qualities and motivational teaching
skills can make educational history. This great teacher's human
relations in educational leadership enabled education reforms -his
people skills in education made him popular within and without his
community. In retirement from teaching Orhan Ari was invited to
visit, inspect schools overseas; at this great teacher's funeral,
retired from teaching years before, former students, school pupils
carried flowers.
"If a teacher is dedicated
people respect him, former students ask after
him."
('Our Forever Shining Suns on
Education' -Ministry of Education & Culture KKTC, Ates 1984
-Quote: teacher Ari)
Great teachers love people,
are loved back, remembered. Great teachers' popularity lasts. With
teacher and teaching awards, in an unfinished monograph, this great
teacher, Orhan Seyfi Ari, saw as his greatest
reward...
'My spiritual reward.. my
beloved 'children', my pupils, have achieved
success...
The feeling of having been
loved by them as I have loved them.'
