520			_aA teacher fondly called as a ‘Preceptor’ who dispels the dullness of intellect and leads one to the path of enlightenment has been looked upon with awe and inspiration from times immemorial. As the needs of the learner has become more and more expansive and demanding now the teacher has multiple roles to play and is needed to have multi-faceted skills to live up to the expectation of the learner. Formerly teaching was chosen as a career with interest and teacher was revered as a respectable citizen of the society. There was a stop gap when teaching became a forced vocation if one did not get a better opportunity. Now with education becoming more and more holistic there is need for teachers who are facilitators, mentors and multi-talented. The paper examines the changing role of a teacher who has a multi-dimensional approach to his/her profession. The paper looks at how teaching in the current scenario is gaining momentum as a sought after career with better scope for expanding the ‘Knowledge Horizon’. Great teachers are made because of their expertise w.r.t knowledge, domain, attitude, dedication, sincerity, accountability and transparency. Their roles are not limited to class room teaching but go much beyond that as men and women of grit who shape the youth to become globally competent to face the real challenges of the world and extend their helping hands in ‘Nation Building’. Real life examples of great teachers would be included in the paper as case studies to show how ‘Teaching Profession was given a new and exciting dimension by these icons.’
