My other responsibilities include introducing new material into each session and evaluating each session individually either by tests, question and answer sessions or by setting homework. After each session I reflect on whether the lesson was appropriate to the learning and if the students digested the information put across in the session, if not, I should be prepared to make adjustments to make sure that the information is understandable in the future. It is my responsibility to be professional in my approach, encouraging, understanding and trustworthy. To put the progress, well-being and development of my students first, make sure that everyone is included and feels part of the group. I can be advisor, confidant and leader, but I acknowledge my limitations. I understand the need to maintain appropriate boundaries in my dealings with students. I must take care to make sure that my relationships with students reflect the age, gender and maturity of the students. I should not use inappropriate language and be aware those certain aspects of demeanour, language and attitudes, however conveyed, could give rise to misunderstandings.

I must always be supportive, engaged, and provide a safe and open environment. The most important role I have is making sure the classroom is safe, provides ample space, and promotes learning. Once I have an environment that is setup for success, then I can focus on my interactions with each child. I want to support each child in each area of their development so they feel safe and comfortable while they are exploring and experiencing new things. I also want to be there to support them emotionally.
Briefly describe the classroom setting in which you are assigned and any requirements or expectations that might affect your planning or delivery of instruction.
When our responsibilities are clearly defined in the job description, during induction process and in instructions and guidelines, it ensures clear understanding and co-operation, effective working relationships, positive psychological environment and smooth running of all aspects of teaching/learning process.
A driving objective for a teacher is to affect students to advance their expertise in education by finding them the correct course. The teacher should promote positive motivation and inspiration by adhering to legislation and codes of practice which will increase every student’s focus in developing and bridging gaps to display eagerness towards a healthy broad mindset, creative thinking and brighter approach. A mentor should coordinate assessments which will reinforce the ability to perceive individuals’ abilities and knowledge progressions and moreover support them further to boost their learning capacity to acquire a well-established national standards skill set.
According to Clarke (2006) the role, responsibilities and boundaries are evolving qualities within the teacher which are assessed and reflected upon using the teaching/training cycle; a cycle of assessment, planning and review. My main role as a teacher is to facilitate
Once have identified the students needs and have planned and designed the course I can then deliver or facilitate the learning. I can use different styles and activities to keep the students interested. I can invite comments and discussions to enhance their learning. This could promote inclusion of the quietest of the students and also give me time to carefully observe and assess their learning . I may need ice breakers and energisers at times and also maintain any ground rules that may have been agreed at the beginning of the course by the students. I must conform to codes of practice at all times ensuring also that I promote respect, equality and diversity. I will also try to embed language, literacy, numeracy,and ict
However, there are other roles that I need to fulfill. Some of these roles include showing professionalism, creating effective lesson plans that follow the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards, and maintaining parent-teacher communication. In my opinion, the most critical role of a teacher is to establish positive student-teacher relationships. I will show respect, compassion, and encouragement to each of my students. Students will come into my classroom feeling appreciated and welcomed. Although I will spend a school year with my students, I believe that student-teacher relationships should exceed 180 days. Therefore, my classroom door will always be open to welcome current and former
The whole point of the teaching profession is to enrich the life of every student and provide a balanced, sustained, positive and contrasting learning environment. I believe that outstanding teachers motivate students to want to learn. I take my job and responsibilities very seriously and am always working to improve myself and renew the capacity in others. I aim to improve students’ interests in the process then the product. I strictly abide to the school initiatives so students can become self- directed, critical thinking, enduring, independent learners. My goal is to ensure that natural learning happens in conjunction with gaining deeper knowledge, and understanding. Team work, project based enquiry, peer observation sharing, collaborating
After the lesson, both students provided a deeper, and more explicit definition of “responsibility”. Their examples and non-examples of the concept, as well as the concept map include some ideas from the previous assessment, but generally these pieces of the assessment show a great variety of mature ideas. Both students also confidently pointed to almost the end part of their concept lines, indicating that they have gained more understanding of the concept of “responsibility”, which was clearly observable in students’ responses during discussions and the post interviews.
What are the roles of a teacher? A teacher must be a facilitator, have content expertise, and develop moral obligation in the classroom. To be an authority or facilitator, one needs to be able to handle behavior and disciplinary issues as well as be able to handle allowing student learning, and to guide students development. To have content expertise, one needs to have content knowledge in the subject being taught and to be able to share this knowledge with the students. To teach or allow moral obligation, one needs to teach students beyond their content knowledge subject and to allow them to grow into being a successful member of society (Cooper and He, p. 97). I will carry out these roles of a teacher by being in charge of the classroom. I will directly take care of any behavior and disciplinary issues by confronting this
A students’ main responsibilities in a classroom are to learn, but they have to go about that in many ways, so students ultimately take on many roles. The most difficult role for a student to take is that of the listener. Students must be active listeners and do their best to pay attention when the teacher is talking. Another role that a student takes is that of a collaborator. It is been proven that students learn better when they collaborate with their peers. In this role, students must follow classroom rules and respects their peers. Yet another role that a student can have is that of a team number. Many times teachers like to pay your students into groups or teams to accomplish a certain task. Students working as group members must ensure that every group member has an equal opportunity to be heard and that the work is also split up equally. Students in this role need to work together and put their differences aside to get the most out of whatever task they are to do. One more roll that a student my take is out of the teacher. Students retain information much better if they are able to teach it to someone else. Students in a teacher role must make sure that the
The best teachers engage the class in active learning. Give and take exchanges with the teacher invoke higher level critical thinking. My responsibility is to meet each lesson objective and make sure the students learn the material. My overall responsibility is to meet the course standard so students pass an end of class assessment or standardized test.
