The Role of the Teacher
http://thelearningexchange.ca/videos/the-role-of-the-teacher/
There are many roles educators play in schools and each role is unique. Each student is a unique person. Social economic backgrounds, cultures, languages, strengths, needs, interests are all different. Each student needs to feel reflected and included in the classroom, and an educator needs to care about and account for each construct that makes that student an individual in a variety of ways. By individualizing the education for each student, by taking into account who each student is and their abilities, it is only then educators are dedicating to the learning process.
Post:
State how teachers impact students? What are specific attributes are teachers? What skills are needed to support student success in the classroom?
Review and comment on two other postings by your colleagues.
As per discussion,
"Students are impacted by teachers on many levels (in regards to intelligence) specifically but generally, two main ones that bring it back to that idea of the simplicity of Sir Ken's rhetoric, which are emotional and physical. If you critically breakdown the impacts of a teacher on a student into class time alone, there is the way that students are received by their teacher, their teacher's initial greeting and basic interactions/response to various remarks/actions taken in class. In a general umbrella statement, teachers can have an impact on the mood of students day and begin to shape the social cue/response that define that student's social interactions/aura.
Teachers are generally people with attributes of those who would be expected to be great or good (at the very least) parents. If not, they should be as by matter of fact in specific situations teachers are near guardian status for students. Students need to be patient, and expectant of success (even through failure, because failure isn't the end, its a pathway to success). A couple good adjectives to get these ideas would be patient and determined.
In the classroom, student success is fostered through a teacher's patience and determination to be understood by their peers and students (among other things). "If your peers understand you, it doesn't mean your students will and if your students understand you, your peers need to sit in on your class". One can learn a lot being invited into a classroom. Its rather quite a sacred place, not as sacred as say the bathroom, but I'd put up there with a confessional booth in some cases for some students and possibly teachers. if you're raising an eyebrow, you probably never taught anything like Sex Ed., The Diary of Anne Frank, a course on the theme of Immigration or maybe even a course on the theme of Gender and Identity? Teachers need students to be persistent, teachers yet have to be more persistent as they are the ones who can see the general outline of the student's pathway through the thicket of a course-even when the student doesn't. Teachers struggle sometimes to be understood by their students maybe even as in ass many ways that students are not understood by their teachers. This lack of communication/miscommunication (if remedied) can be the beginning of a strong route for student success, but teachers need to find that way that the particular group of students are responding to the teacher in an effective way. An example is again, my rubrics, students can easily take one of my rubrics and no exactly what I'm looking for when there are a lot of instructions, they can trust that although they may struggle with my methods of stepping or ordering up the procedures of different tasks, they can start with the rubric and work backwards from their through questions/conferencing with the teacher (me).
