Authenticity




If you are a teacher, I think you should always be true to your students.  If you are true to them they will have more trust in you as their teacher.  If you are not being authentic to your students you aren’t being a good role model to them.  They might think it is okay to be fake to others when really that is not okay.  Always be real to your students. 
                I don’t think you need to show limits for expressing authenticity.  As a teacher it should always be shown.  Students can tell if teachers are not being authentic by the things they say.  If they are not being truthful to their class then the students will be able to tell.  If students don’t feel their teacher is being authentic then they might not believe anything they teach them.  They might feel like why even pay attention in class if the teacher isn’t being real to the class.  It could be a bad situation if the teacher is not being authentic to their students.
