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.
Introduction In this assignment I am going to cover the role of the teacher, the responsibilities that they have in the education and training environment. I will also discuss how to maintain a safe and supportive learning environment for your learners. To end the essay I will discuss the relationship teachers have with other professionals who work in the education and training arena. The teaching role and responsibilities in education and training 1.1 Explain the teaching role and responsibilities in education A teacher adopts many roles within the learning environment and has many responsibilities. One of the key responsibilities I feel for a teacher is to provide information, wisdom.
In this write-up, I will seek to explain the ways in which I could establish ground rules with learners, which strengthens behaviour and respect for others. In doing this, I will be explaining what ground rules are and why they are necessary. How best they can be established and also ensure that students take ownership of rules by putting responsibility on them. Ground rules can be defined as terms which govern the working relationship between the school/teacher and its learners. According to Jo Budden “good classroom management depends a lot on how you establish ground rules at the beginning of the course”.
The responsibility to deliver the proper and unbiased learning curriculum lies in the hands of the educator. Although, generally the curriculum is approved and handed down by the state; the educator must possess the capacity to lecture the students in a proper manner. Students must not be treated or educated differently on the basis of religion, gender, or nationality. Every effort must be made by the educator in order to provide an environment which is conducive to the learning process. An educator should constantly be revising lesson plans and expanding their own knowledge in order to deliver an optimal learning experience for the students.
2.1 Analyse the boundaries between the teaching role and other professional roles (Francis and Gould, 2009:10) “Professionalism requires us to maintain appropriate standards and fulfil our responsibilities to learners, institutions and colleagues. This is achieved by setting professional and personal boundaries which will enable us to be clear about what our limits are and what our professional role involves.” Professional boundaries The teacher/trainers do not have the knowledge, skills or admin to solve some problems. Especially those outside of that the teacher/train can deal with Professional boundaries could include: Resources Professional External Broken Equipment Teacher from another profession Administration
Explain expectations about own work role as expressed in relevant standards As a teaching assistant I can refer to various standards which explain the expectations in regard to my job role. First of all I could refer to my job contract and job description for clear guidelines about my role. My job description outlines 4 main areas as expected as my main duties. There is support for the pupils, which would include duties such as establishing and maintaining positive relationships with our pupils. I should provide specific support to the pupils while supporting learning activities.
3.1 Explain how the teaching role involves working with other professionals. 3.2 Explain the boundaries between the teaching role and other professional roles. As a training officer at webs training I am required to heavily communicate with other professionals within my job role. Firstly I work with other training officers at work to produce an equal and fair education to the pupils a good example of this is if a training offices is absent one day there will be a structured lesson plans to follow so the officer that is covering can pick up the lesson plan adjust it to meet there needs and be able to provide a good lesson even if it’s not the trade area there back ground is from. Other professionals I work with are supervisors/mentors

A teacher’s conventional role was primarily as an educator/disciplinarian, however over time teaching has transformed into multiple roles, particularly in the lifelong learning sector, Reece and Walker (2003:3) state “A teacher is now a facilitator: a person who assists students to learn by themselves.” This encapsulates the true purpose of teaching; a facilitator must be organiser, analyst, administrator, media designer, tutor, team player, communicator, assessor, group leader and presenter. Whilst it appears that we need to be all things for all people, acknowledgment of boundaries and limitations is essential, e.g. if a learner asks for advise on a personal issue we should refer to specialist advisors not offer opinions. As a trainer within the Health and Social Care Sector I find the teaching/training cycle a useful tool, it establishes good practice and ensures courses and their delivery are fit for purpose and continually improve and develop. City & Guilds (2007) describes the cycle as a system approach which includes five inter-linked stages: identify needs, plan and design learning, deliver, assess and evaluate.
Victoria Alcock Preparing to teach in the lifelong learning sector level 3 Assignment 1 Describe what your role, responsibilities and boundaries Would be in terms of the teacher training cycle. The role of a teacher/trainer can be a challenging one, not just for the teacher/trainer for the learner as well. As a teacher/trainer it is my responsibility to ensure that the learner/s are achieving to the best of their ability at a pace they are able to cope with.in my role as a tutor I have to: Identify needs when a new learner arrives to my sessions for the first time I will introduce myself and any other staff/learner that may be in the room. Once introductions have been done I will explain the course to the learner find out
