The Responsibility Of The Teacher

Teachers are humans like the rest of us, and can be lazy. They can’t always be blamed for having an “off day” as we all have them, but sometimes teachers take advantage of the fact that it’s tougher to get fired as a teacher than a lot of other jobs. When a teacher has been there for a long time, it can be a very difficult task to get them fired if they’re taking advantage of their tenure. A new teacher almost always starts out great, happy, and very excited to teach their class. An issue is, over time teachers can become lazy, as can people with other jobs. The issue with a lazy teacher, though, is that the student’s future is in the hands of the teacher. When teachers are lazy, sometimes they’ll give out what is called “busy work,” used to waste time, and give them something to do while the teacher sits and does what they want. There are two ways this is a huge issue: first, this doesn’t help students at all, meaning that the time they spent doing it helps get them nowhere, and is completely pointless. Second, students can carelessly complete the work, and take advantage of the teacher not caring.

If someone were to write your life history, what would we learn about the relationship between expectations and academic success? (page 52)

It is the duty of the educator to prepare students to live lives of quality and purpose. Intellectually, a life of quality involves being reasonable, adept, and thoughtful, and enables people to be good citizens of their community. Skills that will prepare students to live such a life include the ability to reason carefully, to think agilely, and to reflect deeply. These skills are attained best when students evaluate how others express their thinking and precisely what thinking is expressed. The students themselves attempt to express substantive ideas in clear and convincing ways. The teacher is foremost a model of that which is taught, which obligates the teacher to live that life of quality and purpose. As a model, the teacher is therefore able to act as a guide for others, serving occasionally as a source of knowledge but mostly as one who points the way for fellow explorers.

My first expectation is that I expect myself to keep up with my work. The amount of work I have to complete every week is overwhelming. My second expectation is I expect myself to stay motivated. My first week of college has been emotionally draining. The amount of work, the difficultly of the work, the pressure I feel to get everything done on time, it sometimes becomes hard to stay motivated when I have a hard time with my schoolwork. I stay motivated by thinking about why I started college. Keeping up with my work and staying motivated is to expectations that will help me become a successful

I think here in the United States the roles of teachers and students have not changed much over the years. Teachers lead the class and keep order and students are there to learn and grow. What’s different is the perception of how this is done. Technology is drastically changing how teachers teach and students learn.

Having expectations is the belief something will occur that you hope for or attempt to achieve, but the truth is expectations only go as far as you push yourself which is where reality comes in to play and you get a reality check. My expectations for this class was for it to be difficult, but not exactly challenging which is where I was wrong to slack off and not give it 110 percent. My experience from reading and writing in this course made me realize my expectations for college are accurate

The future of the world is in the hands of the children. Whether the future be a positive or negative one depends on the children and the education they receive. The education of a child is so valuable that one needs to consider the importance of the child's education. Also, one needs to consider how to go about nurturing those bright minds so one day they can become independent individuals. As Educators, one needs to be aware of the short-term effects as well as the long-term effects in which education may play on the child's views of the world.

This paper provides an overview of the effects of expectations on student achievement. It begins with a brief introduction covering Jacobson and Rosenthal’s Pygmalion Effect. Then, it introduces expectations from three sources – teachers, parents, and students. The paper discusses how high or low expectations from teachers affect student learning, noting the differences in outcomes for each. Next, it provides statistics based on high and low expectations from parents and the effects on student achievement. Finally, it describes the effects of students’ expectations of themselves. This paper provides evidence that expectations have a

I understand that running an entire state can be difficult, but it is critical for an important man, such as yourself, to keep in mind the education system in New York and to remember the future of the state. The Danielson Framework for teachers, although it does provide a standard to assess teachers on, is ultimately inaccurate and inefficient. The framework fails to provide an assessment on how “effective” a teacher is but rather how effective a teacher can act while getting reviewed. In the occasion that a teacher does attempt to follow the framework throughout the year, they could end up focusing too much on the minor aspects than focusing on the content they are teaching. Please understand that there are better ways to judge the effectiveness of a teacher.

Expectations are defined as something that you believe will happen to you. Before nursing school, I had several expectations. Some of these expectations have shown to be very true while adapting to this new lifestyle. Other expectations have fallen to the waist side and soon were forgotten. At the time, they seemed to be very real. I expected to study, study, and study some more. I wanted the program to be challenging and prepare me to be a nurse. I expected to struggle financially because of having to reduce my days off work. I thought this would give me extra study time and I would make all As on every assignment. I hoped to form study groups to ensure that I would excel in making those grades. But, my most important expectation of myself was to stay organized and ahead on all assignments. I expected this to get me through nursing school.

One of the primary responsibilities of an educator is to provide the foundation for intellectual and cognitive thinking and to prepare students for lifelong learning. Garcia (2009) states that “bilingual education has the potential of being a transformative school practice, able to educate all children in ways that stimulate and expand their intellect and imagination, as they gain ways of expression and access different ways of being in the world” (p.12). Implementing a two-way Spanish and English immersion program provides students with a unique educational experience in which students have access to instruction in their primary language and a second language, with the goal of becoming bilingual and biliterate. This paper will review literature and research supporting dual language programs and provide the rational for the implementation of Lenguas Nativas.

The modern education system effectively utilizes the persistently developing technologies in order to maintain firm communications with the students’ parents. Through automated messages, parents are regularly notified regarding school attendance, disciplinary action, and report card reminders, just to name a few. However, a couple generations earlier, the students maintained responsibility for notifying their parents regarding issues that could range from an out-of-school suspension to a statewide honor. The growing involvement of the school system in claiming responsibility for the students’ issues results in the decreasing responsibilities that the students have to bear. Such a turn of events can result in complications regarding the student’s overall development, both morally and socially.

The role of the teacher in the 21st century education consists of the teacher demonstrating leadership among the staff and with the administration-bringing consensus and common, shared ownership of the school’s vision and purpose. It is important for the teacher to make the instructional content engaging, relevant, and meaningful to students’ lives; teach core content that includes critical thinking, problem solving, addition to information and communications technology (ICT) literacy; and facilitate instruction encouraging all students to use 21st century skills so they discover how to learn, innovate, collaborate, and communicate their ideas. In addition, teachers are to ensure the 21st century content (global awareness, civic literacy, financial literacy, and health awareness) is included in the core content areas; make certain subjects and related projects are integrated among disciplines and involving relationships with the home and community. Teacher are also to reflect about their practice by including assessments that are authentic and structured and demonstrate student understanding and demonstrate the value of lifelong learning as well as encourage their students to learn and grow. The evaluation process for teachers includes the following components:

A teacher is charged with the responsibility of imparting knowledge and skills that allow for continued ability of students to impact positively in the world. In the history, CTE teachers bore the responsibility of teaching and preparing students to meet the demands of the labor market (Wang, 2011). My teaching philosophy is aimed at improving teaching and learning methods to allow for acquiring of skills that will give the students a competitive edge in the labor market and ensure job sustainability. My philosophy is in accordance with the concepts defined in the historical context of CTE teachers. Currently, preparing the students to meet the demands of the workforce is no longer sufficient (IWNC, 2012). This is because of the constantly changing labor market and work demands. The CTE program was initiated in the 20th century and since then, ad advancing science and technology has led to the evolution of business education.

Anytime we as humans interact with one another we present a point of view. In learning theory, constructivism describes a way of knowledge in which we generate meaning by way of experience. This view holds that each student has a unique background, with unique needs, so becomes quite complex and multidimensional. Just as students have unique perspectives, so do teachers. We also know that how teachers view the world, how they think about problem solving, and what they choose to include and exclude while teaching provides meaning and guidance for learners, particularly young learners. What teachers bring to the table from prior knowledge is also very powerful the teacher that uses clues and pays attention to the class wil not just know what to teach, but how to approach different topics. Regardless of the printed curriculum, then, there will be slant or bias towards a certain topic, a certain way of looking at that topics, or even which topics to include in the lesson.
