Instinctly, teachers, especially Values Educators are the epitome of Good Morals and Right Conduct of not only students, but of the entire community. Teachers are professionals and looked with full dignity.
The teachers I am observing at my school are both the epitome of GMRC in their own little ways.
Teacher 1 is very prim and proper, but knows how to give a good laugh. In all her classes, she knows and sees everything each student does in class and acknowledges him/her even in the smallest detail of sitting properly or having their phones out. Whenever she sees her female students doing their makeup or grooming in class, she reminds them that the classroom will never be a comfort room, otherwise their designated seats will be urinals.
Teacher 2 knows when to be firm in times her students need it. She never likes noise and always points out disrespectful remarks not only to her but to even their classmates. She always makes it a point that respect begets respect. Because in some of her classes, they are tremendously chaotic, and students yell at each other as well as spitting at each other, but she knows how to control the crowd even with the 5-second attention span her students give. She wishes that her patience may be lengthened because her students are having a hard time realizing these things. It is a student factor, but still she remains composure in everything she does.
As a pre-service teacher, I myself must be an epitome of GMRC in and out of the classroom. because just like in the quote from Spiderman says, "With great power comes great responsibility!" all eyes will also be on me. It's not far from being a celebrity, because when I will be in service already, I will be handling countless students that I will get to encounter for the rest of my life in every place I go. Since I am someone they look up to, I must also be able to show them how dignified this profession has sculpted me, praying that they get to follow along.

Every teacher is a values teacher that is why we need to be a role model to our students.
