📖🤓Describing Teachers📖🤓

Hi, my dear readers this is our last blog of the registry, it has felt very long but with a lot of learning in between, Our blogs are almost over but I'll be back with more in 2 months so wait for me!! And today we have to any pictures and videos about the class...

Teaching of Teacher's Method...

* The teacher as an organizer. 

It is important to remember that teachers always plan their lessons and reflect on them before, during, and after these have been developed. 

* Teacher’s role in the classroom

A. Controller ➡ Leading from the front.

B. Prompter ➡ When students forget something, such as the instructions of a task, the teacher is there to remind them.

C. Participant ➡ Taking an active role; for example, in a class discussion.

D. Resource ➡ When students ask the teacher’s help. For example, when they don’t know what the meaning of a word is.

E. Tutor ➡ When giving feedback about a large project. 

* Teachers as performers

Upon what they are doing, teachers vary their behavior. In other words, the activity that is being developed inside the classroom shapes the way teachers act. The following image illustrates this panorama:

* Rapport.

In essence, rapport means “the relationship that students have with the teacher and vice versa” (Harmer, 2007, p. 113). It is, somehow, a magical connection. The following characteristics help achieve successful interaction:

A. Recognizing students ➡ Students love it when their teachers know their names and try to understand their character and preferences. 

B. Listening to students ➡ Students respond very well to teachers who listen to them. 

C. Respecting students ➡ Especially at the moment of being corrected. Teachers who don’t react with anger do their best to see their students “in a positive light” (Harmer, 2007, p. 115).

D. Being even-handed ➡ Even though some teachers have “some students that they warm to more than others” (Harmer, 2007, p. 115), they should try to treat all students equally because not only does it help to establish and maintain rapport, but it is also a mark of professionalism. 

The duties and responsibilities of Teachers vary depending on the age and abilities of their students. Primary School Teachers typically have a heavier focus on social and formative skills, while Secondary and Postsecondary School Teachers focus on selecting and developing skills for specific career paths. Examples of their common duties and responsibilities include:

• Preparing lessons, units and projects to complete learning objectives.
• Establishing and communicating clear objectives for lessons, units and projects.
• Adapting teaching methods and materials to meet the interests and learning styles of students.
• Encouraging students to explore learning opportunities and career paths.
• Creating, assigning and grading various assessments for students, including tests, quizzes, essays and projects.
• Working with students one-on-one when they need extra help or attention.
• Tracking and evaluating student academic progress.
• Leading parent-teacher meetings.
• Maintaining positive relationships with students, parents, coworkers and supervisors.
• Managing student behavior.
• Creating a safe, respectful and inclusive classroom environment.
• Communicating regularly with parents.
• Helping students improve study methods and habits.
• Administering tests to evaluate students’ progress.

And at the same time we also recorded an audio where we mentioned things about our teachers, teaching anecdotes and whether or not we would like to be teachers in the future.

Here I leave you the link to the audio so you can hear about my memories with the high school and kindergarten teachers: https://voca.ro/1630s76oIM2w
