Being A Teacher Is Not Easy As A Lot Of Children And Teens

As a teacher there are wide range of roles and responsibilities that we must fulfil in order to ensure we are successful. There are many different audiences which we have to adhere to, not just students, but parents/carers, social workers, case managers, schools, examination boards and our managers. Wilson (2009, Pg 6) describes a vast list of roles and responsibilities of a teacher. In this list she highlights a variety of areas from duties surrounding planning schemes of work and lessons, assessing, verifying and reviewing students learning, marking work and entering students for qualifications and examinations, having a duty of care, creating a safe environment for all and many more.

This is especially true for early childhood students who thrive on routines and procedures. Early childhood students do not always possess the problem solving skills required to adjust to an inconsistent classroom environment, often times resulting in over-stimulated children and misbehaviors. Children who have a negative world or self-view will likely carry those views into a classroom. Through transference students may push their experiences onto the teacher or peers creating obstacles that could interfere with normal routines, procedures, and time management. Teachers must try to interpret student behaviors in order to understand student needs. Consistent classroom rules should be implemented to ensure the safety of students at all times. Teachers should understand the varied levels of students and know that some rules may need to be applied differently in different situations. It must also be known to students beforehand that sometimes different situations require different approaches. Once a teacher learns student behaviors and has a better understanding of those behaviors, the better a teacher can approach the matter on hand. By learning about individual student needs a teacher may begin to be viewed as trustworthy from a student who may have a negative world view of adults, teachers, or

While growing up and observing my teachers at school, I have learned that it isn’t always an easy job. Teachers do everything they can to teach their students’ academic, social and other formative skills. Plenty of my teachers have to deal with complications, most of them being minor, but it isn’t always an easy job helping children, teens and young adults. As a student myself, I know they can be stubborn, unwilling to learn, aggressive, and irresponsible. Sometimes, they simply don’t care. However, that is a teacher's purpose: to help and shape their students to become better learners, so that they have a clearer understanding regarding a variety of subject matters. Someday, I actually want to become an elementary art teacher, which is

All teachers want that perfect classroom were the students feel safe and feel like they actually can learn in there, but first you need classroom managements. You cannot teach students if they do not cooperate with you. You need to be on the same level. Love your students. Understand them. Get to know them. Teaching is not only getting them to know the material but you need to always learn from them. Ask them questions . Make sure their opinion matters. I notice that mrs priester was very involved with her students and actually wanted to be there and that's what makes a classroom so mantane because if you and the kids are on the same page and understand each other, everyday will go smooth and you will see improvements from the students. I think being apart of the kids life is very

As a future middle school teacher, I know I have much to learn. I have to learn how to effectively make engaging lesson plans that meet the academic standards of my content, I have to educate myself on how to efficiently and promptly determine all of my student’s different learning styles and motivation, and I have to learn how to professionally build classroom management and a safe classroom environment, while still developing a sincere relationship with my students. However, of all the things I still need to learn, there is just as much that I have already learned which has helped build and strengthen my beliefs on what I believe a middle school teacher is and my responsibility as such.

A respectful is needed both with co-workers and parents/guardians of the children. Parents and any other adult that comes into the school is more likely to support the teacher or school if there is a strong and effective relationship in place. This positive relationship with the parents/guardians then benefits the pupils. If there is a strong connection, then anything that needs to be carried out at home can be relayed to the parent or guardian and the continuity can carry on. This then benefits the children or young person as they are aware of what is expected of them both in school and at home. A parent/guardian know more about their children so therefor it is important to listen to what the parents have to say.

The class teacher has many roles and responsibilities. These include planning and preparation of the learning activity, taking into account different styles of learning for the children and to teach the curriculum to the children in a way they can all understand. The class teacher also has a responsibility to make sure each child is safe, and that any disruption from other children is dealt with appropriately. Another responsibility is to feedback on each child’s progress, and if there have been any major problems or continuous behaviour difficulties, to report back to the head teacher. If there has been any injury or other major problem e.g. behaviour with a child in the class or lack of attendance, the class teacher has to communicate this with the parents or carer. The class teacher also has to socialise well with the children and act as an effective role model to them.

Teachers strive to create a warm environment for the kids and will work with children individually to help them learn at their own pace. There are also many ways parents can customize their children's education around their student's learning style so that they can be more successful throughout their studies.

There are many problems that new teachers face in the classroom and many were unexpected to me and I was unprepared. Class sizes were large, classes were diverse and funding was scarce. The largest problem I encountered was finding solutions for dealing with misbehaved students. The Tough Kid was written to address these problems and guide new teachers in the classroom. The authors state the many problems of discipline and classroom management for new teachers and provide a guide or as they say “cookbook” for all teachers to follow. Most of the discipline issues are from the unpreparedness of the teacher. This was definitely a skill I did not have when I started the job as I wasn’t prepared for the forty-eight students that would be arrested over the course of the year. The chapters of this book show tactics, lessons, and practical information that gives you an opportunity to keep your students disciplined and engaged.

Teacher’s roles as instructors are similar to those of a facilitator in the sense that both cater to their students. I speak from experience as instructor for at and alternative school for troubled youth I run my class like a teacher in a public or private school setting. Instructors are in charge of making up lesson plans, assigning homework, giving students test and quizzes, and also teaching students new materials. Another significant role for teachers as an instructor is to be a disciplinarian. “Teachers must be leaders in the classroom and in the school, earning the respect of students and setting a positive example” (Zeiger, 2016).

Ms. Murphy’s paid work consists of teaching young children at a local junior high school. Her daily routine involved planning lessons and teaching the lessons. “I do the best I can to have students meet essential outcomes” (Murphy). Ms. Murphy is a very dedicated educator, and is always willing to help children before and after school, assisting them in understanding the course material. Ms. Murphy strives to promote a welcoming classroom and a safe learning environment so that children are comfortable in asking questions, enabling them to expand their minds. Ms. Murphy also attends meetings with her peers in-regards to learning new strategies, knowing children have different learning styles. After Ms. Murphy’s long day of teaching, she also donates her time to chaperone daily school actives, and special monthly actives. Ms. Murphy’s paid work is from 8:30am-3:30pm, followed by unpaid work, for school which is 3:30pm-5:00pm. When this part of her day is complete, she continues to work at home correcting school work and she maintains her house work

I learned that a teacher needs to advocate for children’s needs, giving information about services available for the family and child. A teacher needs to be alert for any cue that give suspicion of abuse or neglect, following the Code of Ethical Conduct, and taking the

Classroom management gives teachers a responsibility in establishing and maintain a classroom environment that students will engage and remain focused on their learning. The topic chosen to analyze the perspectives of both teachers and educational psychologists is class discipline. Discipline focuses on teaching student’s to understand that their negative behaviors and actions have consequences. The interview took place with a pre- kindergarten teacher Martha Melchor from Dalton Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. There are various suggestions educational psychologists provide teachers techniques in areas in which to handle misbehavior. While gathering information from the interview and textbook, the perspective on discipline between teachers and

Elementary teachers play an important part in the intellectual development as well as the social development of their students. The education of young children can affect the way they view themselves, other people, and the world, and their success throughout life. Usually, one elementary teacher will teach several subjects to one class, of about 20 students. However, some will work in teams with other teachers, depending on the type of school (“Career Information: Elementary School Teachers.”). Teachers are faced with the responsibility of nurturing their students as well as their education. In the early years of elementary school, teachers introduce their students to the concepts of reading, writing, and counting. In the later years of elementary, teachers have the task of introducing the concepts of mathematics, language, science, and social studies. Teachers also have multiple behind-the-scenes duties. Teachers have the duty of creating daily

Being a teacher is not an easy task as many people could think. To be a teacher does not only imply to know the subject to be taught, it also includes being willing to constantly improve oneself integrally, as much as updating the resources and materials one uses in teaching. Reflecting and analyzing over and over again the best way to teach to learn and how to make students to extend what has been learned. The many hours spend in the classroom will never be enough to plan lessons, prepare materials, review pupils tasks and exams, as well, all the administrative requirements one has to cover for whatever institution we work. Besides all this a good teacher, a professional one, will have to find the time to keep preparing to improve
