CHAPTER 4 THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER



                                                 THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER

The role of a teacher is to create in the classroom an environment that could integrate different kinds of learning styles. A teacher would take different roles from one activity to another and must teach with methods and assessment consistently. What I mean with that is that teacher must go in a systematically order from the most simple until reach certain level of difficulty. A teacher must be clever and use multiple teaching techniques appropriate for students learning goals by design activities in which students interact with the material, the teacher and each other.  It also would motivate intrinsically students to learn. There are seven principles to help the teacher to create a pupil adjusted class.


1.  Teachers do learning tasks less.
Assign to students some of the tasks organizing the content, giving examples, summarizing, etc.
 2.  Teachers do less telling; students do more discovering.

Let students discover information in assigned readings without presenting it first or summarizing it later.
3.  Teachers do more design work.

To motivate engagement in the course content by doing the work of practitioners in the discipline.

4.   Faculty do more modeling.

Revealing and modeling your thinking process to your students could follow. Show them drafts of your articles, notes, etc.
5.  Faculty do more to get students learning from and with each other.

Create tasks activities for small groups to do in class.

6.  Faculty work to create climates for learning.

The teacher should promote interaction, autonomy, and responsibility
7.  Faculty do more with feedback.

 The teacher should give frequent feedback.


          In this chapter is explain clearly the role of a teacher. We as teacher must take in to account that we develop our pupil’s skills. To reach that improvement we as teachers must use supplementary materials as well as methodology.  Cooperative learning is also useful because it said that pupils may learn by each other.
