The Multiple Roles of Teaching By: Jaysie Campbell, Taylor Freer, Amanda Burns, and Kendall Moore
Caring Professional • Importance of caring for students as a central dimension of • Caring: teachers ability to empathize with and invest in the protection and development of young people • Available teachers have learners who behave better and are more emotionally and intellectually involved. • If teachers do not care about you, it affects your mind. • Success and failure
Caring Professional (con’t) • Communication caring: devoting time and showing respect. • One of the most important ways would be by maintaining high standards. • Respect is a two way street. • “Treat others with respect.” Enforce this! • Chronic disrespect will not be tolerated. • Guard students safety • One way to guard students safety is by learning signs of abuse or neglect. • Teachers are required to report.
Creator of Productive Learning Environments • Productive learning environment- an environment that is orderly and focuses on learning. • Students feel physically and emotionally safe & day to day routines are designed to help students learn as much as possible- including values, expectations, learning experiences, spoken/unspoken rules, and conversations. • Classroom order and effective instruction are interdependent which means dependent on each other or mutually dependent. • Actions often speak louder than words when working with students.
Creator of Productive Learning Environments (con’t) • Teachers need both withitness and overlapping skills to maintain lesson momentum and make the constant transitions required both within and between lessons. • By actively involving students in realistic problem solving, it helps prepare them for the real world. • As we better understand learning and how important concrete examples and student involvement are in maximizing it, resourcefulness becomes ever more important.
Ambassador to the Public • Teachers are the most visible representatives of the schools in which they teach. • To parents and the public at large, teachers are the school; they represent the primary link to their children’s education. • Teachers are under constant public scrutiny, and their perceived competence is continually discussed. • Learning is a cooperative venture, and teachers, students, and parents are in it together.
Ambassador to the Public (con’t) • Communication with the parents is and integral part of the teacher’s job. • Home-school cooperation results in at least four benefits for students: • Higher academic achievement, more positive attitudes and behaviors, better attendance rates, and greater willingness to do homework. • Economic, cultural, and language barriers are often difficult to overcome. • Help get parents involved by helping them create a better learning environment in the home, create effective communication lines, recruit parent volunteers, involve parents in decision making, integrate community resources.
Collaborative Colleague • Effective teachers are parts of teams that work for the benefit of school districts, individual schools, and students. • Collaboration is important for educators in all levels of education. • Administrators begin to assess the applicant’s collaboration abilities even during their job interview. • To be productive in today’s schools, as in many other workplaces, teachers need collaboration and negotiation skills and the ability to communicate dissenting views in inoffensive ways.
Learner and Reflective Practitioner • Teachers refine and expand the specialized body of knowledge needed for professional status. • A reflective practitioner is a professional continually involved in the process of examining and evaluating his or her own practice. • Thoughtful, analytical, even self-critical about their work • They plan lessons carefully and take the time to analyze and critique them afterward. • Did I have a clear lesson? Was the goal important? • Reflection may be the most significant thing you can do to go professionally.
