Commitment is a very important characteristic; therefore, it is a paramount need for the profession of teaching. A committed teacher is never satisfied with what she or he already has; rather always seeks for the new ideas and ways to contribute to the students. A committed educator will have the passion and enthusiasm for teaching and learning, as well. As she or he develops himself or herself, this fact will have a direct result on the learners’ academic success and personal development. Such a teacher will be successfully able to create authentic and effective learning and teaching and consequently, the learning process as well as the teaching will be facilitated automatically and this will promote both the potential of the students and learners. This study puts a light on the committed teachers and effects of commitment on the process of learning and teaching.
