'His students made the state and the nation proud'
(On a great educator's, the late, Orhan Seyfi Ari's passing away -Atun, Leader of Parliament TRNC 1992) 

How do great teachers do that? What made Orhan Ari a great teacher? This educator's exceptional teaching skills and educational leadership qualities made him one of the great teachers. Orhan Ari's teaching skills and educational leadership qualities were so great, writers and poets hailed him; people named streets after him. What were these major globally popular teaching skills and educational leadership qualities that made him a great teacher?


Orhan Ari's teaching skills and educational leadership qualities in education related dealings kept parents, colleague teachers, students properly happy. This great teacher's teaching skills and educational leadership were enhanced by his wit and honesty. His sincere concern and help enabled educational reforms -made him a truly great teacher who continues to socio-culturally inspire.


A poet rhymed one of teacher Orhan Seyfi Ari's personal qualities...

 

"His concern -so sincere!.. Greatly respected everywhere!
Years spent to illuminate… More: hearts, his sultanate!"

(Metiner, Birlik 1993)


 

He emphasised this great teacher's, Orhan Ari's, honesty:

 

"As built his honesty a throne, in every heart, that rules!"

 

Teacher Orhan Ari's educational leadership considered the student generally in relevant teacher student relations: students' personal circumstances affected their learning and education. To this great teacher that was not merely a teaching and learning theory but a practical concern in teaching to many educators; a writer wrote...

 

"His concern for, and help to, his pupils, extended beyond their educational activities and lives"
(Fedai, Halkin Sesi 1992)


 

One the leadership qualities of great teachers is that in approaching student behavior management and school discipline they prefer preventive measures to corrective, based on a pupil's likes and dislikes and familiarity with students' circumstances. This great teacher applied school discipline with a sincere discussion and particular care about the students' feelings, without humiliating them, acknowledging their abilities and potential, with interested appreciation of pupils' nature -teacher Ari's poetry reflects this…

 

'Sometimes such fools we were, sometimes smart kids
Sometimes Satan's tools, sometimes with saintly deeds'


 

In parent teacher meetings, this great teacher's educational leadership qualities included appreciating intrinsic aspirations. Teacher Orhan Ari kept pupils' parents informed of students' good behaviour and accomplishments making both proud; he explained students' abilities and potential, as incentive for parental educational encouragement of pupils. Orhan Ari's teaching skills and educational leadership qualities involved also parents with less interest in his pupils' education, enhancing his staff and colleague teachers' and this great educator's own student motivation.


This great teacher's motivation and help to parents and students extended beyond educational leadership requirements in teaching and education from teachers and head teachers. Teacher Ari earned not only his pupils', students', their parents' trust and confidence, but usefully to them and trade and craft trainees, also the business community's...

 

"We'd fallen out, going to lawyers; we came across this teacher Arı… He said, 'Don't (etc)' -and, so, I was able to complete my apprenticeship"
(Tezel, Golden Frame Interviews -Halkın Sesi Sunday Supplement 2004)


 

Teacher Orhan Seyfi Arı, his educational leadership and teaching skills coupled with inherent and exceptional leadership qualities, not only in teaching kept secondary school pupils interested by emphatically encouraging also the quiet and shy pupils and enjoyed teaching and teacher popularity with his sharp wit, appropriate jokes and approachability; also with his adult college students this great Teacher of Teacher's popularity was enormous and lasting...

 

"...I met Orhan Seyfi Ari at college -our friendship continued for years…"
(Kitromilides 'Images from My Life' -Nicholas press, London 2002)


 

Truly great teachers' globally popular educational leadership qualities and teaching skills can make educational history. This great teacher's educational leadership qualities enabled education reforms -made him popular within and without his community. In retirement from teaching he was invited to visit and inspect schools overseas; when this great teacher passed away, retired from teaching years before, at his funeral with his former students and pupils school children carried flowers.


Great teachers are remembered. Great teachers' popularity lasts. With teacher and teaching awards, in an unfinished monograph, this great teacher, Orhan Seyfi Ari, saw as greatest reward...

 

'My spiritual reward.. my beloved 'children', my pupils, have achieved success... The feeling of having been loved by them as I have loved them.'
