In
order to bring about desired changes in any person teaching and learning is
required. The act of an educator is to impart knowledge or skill to the
learner. The students are a product of the system where teaching is a task and
learning an objective. But for a successful teaching a teacher cannot
anticipate the task of learning.  In fact
teaching cannot be reduced to a set of general rules, or prescribed pattern of
behavior. Teaching requires certain activities of ethical condition as well.
Thus, we can say that teaching is a process of preparing a student for
independent action, informing them about conditioned behavior, uniformed beliefs,
and rules etcetera. It is a transformation process which trains and informs the
individual with explanations or evidence. The ability of a good teacher is
generally judged on the basis of students’ ability to grasp or learn quickly
and properly. A teacher is in most case held accountable for student’s progress
and learning despite of poor parenting, negative attitudes and other ills of
society. A teacher’s focus should be based on her role to bring out student
outcomes. Many evaluation methods are used to analyze students’ progress. To
assess the performance of student Mid Term Examinations, Assignments, Projects,
and Unit Tests, while a teacher’s performance is monitored through
Self-Appraisal Reports, Students’ Feedback, and Academic Results.
