Teachers are an extremely important asset for any society as they are the ones who educate youth of the society. They create leaders for the next generation and play important role in developing the nation. In present there are lot of flaws in our educational system; it promotes rat race only, children are not competent enough to do critical analysis of tasks, they are not innovative and teachers themselves are not trained and efficient enough to develop the persona of child. To reconstruct our education system, their needs to be a paradigm shift in education system to move from creating Teachers to creating Humane Reflective Teachers. In our society there is difference in ideas, believes, languages, cultures and religions which is visible in our classrooms too. To perfectly deal with these challenges in classroom a teacher must be of Humane in nature and have Reflective thinking. A good humane teacher is one, who understands the problems and needs of diverse group of students and a reflective teacher is one who encompasses both the capacity for critical inquiry and self-reflection. To be a Humane reflective Teacher involves the conscious consideration of the moral and ethical implications and consequences of classroom practices on students. The present problem with our education system is that it is not able to produce such Teachers. While it is not possible to prescribe a linear process or define a step-by-step procedure to develop a Humane Reflective Teacher, there are still actions and practices that are fundamental to developing one as a reflective practitioner. The role of Teacher Education institutions can’t be ignored in following and implementing these fundamentals for producing a Humane Reflective Teacher. The Humane Reflective Teacher will be an asset to our education system as a Humane Reflective Teacher can eradicate most of the present challenges in our Education System. This paper will discuss about the characteristics of Humane Reflective Teacher, how the Teacher Education Institutes can inculcate these characteristics in a prospective as well as In-Service Teacher, and how they can be a valuable asset for our Education system.
