What is the function of a teacher?

Answer 1

Teachers are simply people who teach, but its not all that easy. First you have to understand what your teaching all that lies later is explaining in simple, clear English so that the student understands. teachers need to know all the material that they are teaching or else there is no point to it.

Answer 2

The role of the teacher is to facilitate the learning of students. The antiquated ideal of teaching was that teachers filled up their students with knowledge, john Locke's Tabula Rasa. Students are, however, not empty slates or vessels which teachers fill up.

This was the spearhead of the Nature vs. Nurture argument in education. Locke erred on the side of nurture. Those who followed erred on the side of nature. The fact of the matter is that neither side of the argument is dominant; neither perspective is correct. The teacher, the effective teacher, seeks to find the balance. The tricky part is that the balance is different for ever student.

Every student must be reached by the teacher, and the teacher must go to where every individual student is. Think of it this way:

Those (teachers) who aim at the middle (seek to feed the average kids) miss both ends (special needs and gifted kids). Those who aim at either end miss the middle and the other end.

The only viable solution then is to aim at ever mark from one end to the other.

This is far easier than one would think. It would seem the teacher would become overwhelmed by this, and he would if he tried to do it alone, the Tabula Rasa way. But, teachers are not producers for a field of consumers. Teachers are facilitators.

A facilitator is a leader/guide/helper. The teacher as a facilitator pulls together all possible resources, student, family, community, internet, all of it he can find and makes it available in the classroom. The facilitator helps students guide their own learning; this is after all what true learning is. The teacher-facilitator helps other students in the class become involved and invested in the learning of their fellow students, through cooperative learning exercises. The teacher-facilitator begins, leads, and guides students in discussions, expedites progress by eliminating obstructions that prevent student growth, and encourages students to take ownership of their own education.

The teacher-facilitator does not stand at the front of a room and drag his students along in his wake.

The teacher-facilitator moves among his students, sharing, guiding, accentuating, supporting.
