Now which one is more important, discuss the latest gossip artist or novice to analyze the mindset of voters in the recent elections that the postscript is our students? Not only that many of the topics that if we contemplate, not worthy of discussion by the teacher as an educator. If you still find it hard to do the above, how easy, simply find useful reading, read then you will avoid a futile discussion in the staffroom.
1. If you have a new companion, guide and provide support and support to move forward in a way always commented positively to the things he does. Put yourself in her, then you will be supportive and co-workers who want to understand.
2. At the meeting, try to give the best idea is, the problem is not acceptable or not, but have you learn to convince others that you are the best idea. The best thing when convincing co-workers is to use the data in the form of research results.
3. Be open-minded teacher of ideas or opinions of others, aware of weaknesses and strengths of ourselves, guaranteed more days of insight and quality of ourselves as teachers will increase.
4. Create a network for yourself that makes you more days to turn towards a better teacher. Use sites such as facebook to create a network on the persons that make you excited to move forward. Do not use friendship site for an escape when you have problems with colleagues at school. Trying to solve a little thing that might be a wedge, prove that if you do not get good support at school you can get it with the help of technology.
5. All teachers are different, as well as to students, as colleagues we should make the difference as a gift. Becoming aware of differences, our minds will open faster when receiving criticism, feedback and ideas from colleagues. At the same time we become more honest about the advantages and shortcomings are not ashamed to say as a person.
6. Do not be afraid to talk about other people 'behind'. Sometimes as a teacher, just because of fear of talking about others behind, teachers become lazy to innovate and do something creative and different ways.

Let's purify the intention that all the best things we do is to prepare future students, not for his career, was praised by colleagues, superiors and parents.



More than that, a teacher not just excel in the practice of knowledge but also capable of writing (literary skills) all things related to the field of science (the subjects of substance) and the related fields of education and learning, such as the ability to make research reports, papers, writing books and other literacy activities.

Proficiency and teaching experience gained not only in lecture halls, but the involvement of a comprehensive and cohesive labor movement through various activities. Teacher profession requires teachers equip themselves with various knowledge and skills. Not only that, between the roles and responsibilities, the teacher also serves as caretaker education organization.

BUILD QUALITY TEACHERS TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION QUALITY

Introduction: The mission of the New Teacher 
The development community needs for qualified human resources are slowly but surely increasing from year to year. This is in line with the development of the world demands of work not only requires human resources oriented to the needs of industry. HR is needed now is human resources that have superior competence, especially in terms of thinking ability. Thus HR needs right now is human resources oriented to the mind works. 

In line with these needs pergerseran, restructuring of education should be conducted.Education is not directed only in the printing industry labor for labor but also optimize the ability to think in carrying out his job. This means that education should be directed at efforts to create a situation so that students can learn and have the ability to think high phases. In order to achieve the above functions, the current educational efforts should emphasize the establishment of competence to students who at once means that must also be accompanied by radical changes in teaching culture at this time. 

The above conditions indicate that the teachers in carrying out the mission of creating a graduate education changed only for the industrial world into graduates who are ready to face a job that promotes higher-order thinking skills. This means that teachers are required to be able to prepare all students to have the thinking skills that include the ability to find problems, discover, integrate, and synthesize information, create new solutions, and develop skills of students in independent study and work in groups. 
Thus, teachers must actually be able to find ways to encourage and develop the fulfillment of all the needs of students based on their potential. Without this effort will be difficult to create graduates who are armed with high-level thinking skills. 

To be able to run his new mission, the teacher must truly understand the cognition and a variety of different ways of learning. Teachers must also understand the development of students and pedagogical concepts as they master the learning material and the use of alternative assessments to measure student learning outcomes. Thus the teacher should be able to place the various substances different experiences of learning, language and cultural differences, learning styles, talents, and intelligence as a basis for implementing various teaching strategies chosen. 
Based on the above conditions, the learning must be implemented on the basis of what students know and can do as well as how students think and learn and to align learning with the required performance in line with the needs of individual students. Given this reality, it is clear teachers should really have superior characteristics so that he will be able to implement its new mission in the educational process. The creation of this pre-eminent teacher characteristics must be done either at the time of teachers and teacher training to take the education process at the time he was carrying out his job as educators. 

Build Quality Teacher Education Program 

The need for qualified teachers of the higher current must be positively addressed by the management of teacher education. This positive response should be indicated by constantly improving the quality of educational programs it offers. Improvement of education quality in higher education will clearly bring a positive impact on the creation of qualified teachers later in life. 

To be able to create a quality teacher education, based on several studies of Darling-Hammond. and Bransford (Ed.) (2005: 394) states that at least there are three important elements in the design of teacher education programs should be improved (made different from current conditions). These three elements are as follows. 
The content of teacher education, with regard to the material that must be given to the students, how to give it, how to combine various materials so that meaningful, as well as how the expansion so that students have a cognitive map that will help them see the relationship between teacher knowledge domains to its use in a practical way in field to encourage students to learn. 
Learning process, with regard to the preparation of curricula in line with the readiness of students and fundamental to the practical learning materials and processes that can lead to student understanding through active creativity in the classroom. 
Learning context, with regard to the creation of contextual learning process in order to develop practical skills of students. Learning context should be applied in both domains as well as teaching materials through professional learning communities (schools). 

Sekait with the opinion above, Lang and Evans (2006: 3) more clearly states that the creation of quality educational programs can be based on the essentials of teacher education programs as follows. 
Keberartian theory with practical experience. 
Cooperation between universities and other education communities. 
Theory and practical in generic skills and reflection and discussion about the effectiveness of these skills. 
Giving emphasis on the process students learn how to enhance creativity and critical thinking skills. 
Ability to organize learning. 
Application of constructivist approach to learning. 
The application of alternative assessment and the theory of motivation. 
Building a research-based professionalism. 
Under both views, the quality education programs in teacher education programs dasarnnya are constantly considering what questions to learn what teachers and teachers can do. What questions should be studied teacher education programs will encourage teachers always teach the contextual material to the students. Contextual material is of course not only presented but presented in a practical theory that the prospective teachers are able to get two at once experience the concepts and practical.In other words, it can be said teacher education programs should be able to educate prospective teachers in learning the basic assumptions about the practical concept in practice. 
The second question about what teachers can do to encourage the implementation of teacher education programs lead to the excavation of the potential and needs of the students adapted to real conditions the performance of teachers in the field. Thus, teacher education programs will continue to focus on the creation of hard skills and soft skills that teachers should possess. This means that teacher education programs should be able to provide professional skills to graduates while creating graduates who have higher thinking skills that will be very useful to develop professionalism when they have to be a teacher someday. Therefore, the implementation of the education process in teacher education programs should be directed at efforts to introduce and play the students as a teacher while he took his studies. 
Quality teacher education programs is not the teacher education program that provides knowledge of various models and learning strategies to students but are able to apply various models and strategies to students so that students acquire theoretical concepts and application images at once. Through actual experience, the complaints of teachers' ignorance of the various models and learning strategies as well as the inability of teachers to implement various models and strategies will be able ditepiskan. In addition, by applying various models and strategies directly to students, students will increase creativity and prospective teachers will understand that the teacher is basically an attempt to always be a professional learner. 
Professional development of teacher education which can also be formed through improved research-based learning process. This means that from the beginning the students should have been invited to conduct a simple research on each course.Through this kind of learning style, prospective teachers are expected to be able to find an actual teacher esesi simultaneously build their competence to carry out skilled future research when they become teachers. In addition, research-based learning can also be interpreted to mean that the learning process is conducted in universities is always based on the latest research results in line with the scientific vision and market signals so that graduates will have a number of skills that is really needed in the field. 

In the end, the creation of a quality educational program will rely heavily on the quality awareness of the managers. Sekait with this, the managers of institutions of higher education teacher training is based on the educational process should run clear quality assurance. The teacher education program managers are required to afford providing excellent service to students so that the entire program is performing students to be able to deliver quality human resources. In addition, the impact of this will bother the quality of leads also to the public trust in the teacher education institutions so that keberlangsung teacher education programs will be assured in the future.
