One of the key responsibilities I feel for a teacher is to provide information, wisdom. In order to share their knowledge and understanding of a subject or topic a teacher needs to have a deep understanding of the topic that they are teaching. However alongside this a teacher should not claim to know it all, and be willing to learn from their students. ‘Knowledge may be seen as a level of awareness, consciousness or familiarity gained by experience, learning or thinking.’ (Jarvis 1987). It is important that the teacher appreciate any input from their students, whether the answer is correct or not.
In this respect, the ultimate aim is to enable learners to understand how to take responsibility for their own development. Teachers can do this by planning and preparing teaching and learning activities that take account of the needs and well-being of individual learners as well as groups of learners. Some key aspects of a role as a teacher may be: carrying out initial and/or diagnostic assessments; clear communication with your learners, other professionals and stakeholders; promoting appropriate behaviour and respect for others; identifying and meeting individual learners’ needs; being aware of the support mechanisms available; being organised; being reflective, which means learning from successes as well as mistakes. What are my responsibilities as a teacher? As a teacher, my primary responsibility is to ensure that learners are enrolled onto the correct course, in terms of meeting their needs, abilities and aspirations.
Inclusive learning should promote positive behaviour and conduct. A teacher needs to recognise that learner comes with different learning styles and needs. Maslow stated unless certain need are met the learner cannot progress. Malsow ‘s hierarchy of needs theory is: Learners needs have to to be met in order for leaners to be involved and focused on their learning. For individual learning styles to be met, within a good learning sessions a teacher will ensure he/she takes a multi-sensory approach to teaching, this way each learner can work to the best of their ability.
Support towards the leaner plays an important role in counseling skills. E) CAREER EDUCATION In career education the school offers extended support to the learner helping them realize through education is how they can prepare for their future employment and workplace. Choosing a career is a young person’s most important decision. Career educational programmes help learners to get to know themselves and their physical and intellectual abilities to help prepare them in making a good and fitting career choice one day. Learners learn their own personalities and capabilities before they are guided on which career path to follow.
Customized Learning Theory: Differentiated Instruction and Inclusion in the Classrooms Katie Wood Liberty University “Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtains guidance,” (Proverbs 1:5, ESV). This is a powerful statement from God’s Word that should guide the role teachers play in their classrooms. “Good teachers know their subject matter and have mastered pedagogical skills,” (Slavin, 2009, p 24). Teachers who are willing to base their lessons off of research, in order to learn, will understand what it truly means to guide their students in the right direction. However, teachers cannot guide if they do not understand their students and how the students interpret learning in the classroom.
I gave the families a chance to give input on the child’s development plans and how well they felt the child’s welfare could be improved. During meetings with the families I gave the child the opportunity to introduce self and the family. I also gave the child the opportunity to participate in discussing and making choices about their own learning outcomes. 1.1.B. Now think of another situation when you were able to treat children, young people, their families and their carers as equals.
If you know the learning style of the student, it is easier to convey the message you are trying to convey. Teachers adapt to their students and help them according to their style learning. Knowing the learning strategies influence teaching and learning by allowing the teacher know what is going on and giving students a chance to understand the material. These learning strategies help both: the teacher and the student. References Roell, K. (2014, January 1).
Task 1 Part A 1.3.1 – Explain own responsibilities in maintaining a safe and supporting learning environment It is important to create a safe and supportive learning environment for students, and as teachers we must be aware of our responsibilities for creating and maintaining this environment. One way we can achieve this is by using the first lesson of a new course as an opportunity for students to introduce themselves, share their goals and establish common concerns. One way of achieving this is through the use of ‘ice-breakers’. The use of pair work, small group and whole class activities can also help students to establish relationships with one another. Students should be encouraged to feel comfortable asking any questions and it should be established that anything raised on the classroom will not be shared outside of the class group.
Therefore it is essential that teachers develop their educational philosophy and their educational goals before making the big step from being a student to being a teacher. It highlights and acknowledges the importance of social interactions between students and teachers as well as the roles that each plays in ensuring a successful educational experience which concludes that their philosophy on education is based on the concept of sharing of
For ELL’s to learn properly and utilize their affective filter to the fullest, the environment in which they learn needs to feel safe. For example, an ELL usually comes into a classroom not knowing anyone. As a future teacher I believe it is important for an ELL to learn right away that you are going to be their friend. The classroom must convey a level of comfortableness. Teachers must set this in place.
