The Teacher as a Challenge to Himself: Focus On Hendrinks Laws

The teachers job is influenced by two main categories of forces- the internal forces, which he has control over and the external forces which are not within the domain of his control. The paper took a critical look at the internal forces from the point of view of the seven laws of the teacher as postulated by H G Hendrinks. The ability of the teacher to comply with these laws poses great challenge to him. The paper is an exposition with ample illustrations on what the teacher must do, why he must do it and how he is to do it in order to overcome or minimize the challenge. Furthermore, the paper recognizes the influence of the external forces which, if not controlled, can inhibit the manifestation of his professionalism. Two of such inhibitors are identified as infrastructure/facilities and teachers’ welfare. Recommendations were made on the popularization of Hendrinks laws among teachers and control of external inhibitors through provision of adequate school infrastructure and welfare for teachers.
