2.2 The teacher would need to promote appropriate behaviour and respect for others in the ground rules. Although this is not always adhered to by learners the teacher would make clear to the individual that inappropriate behaviour would not be tolerated and ask them to remain quiet or leave the session depending on the severity of the behaviour. Distractions from learners has the potential to distract others, therefore wasting time and potentially leading to the early commencement of the session. 3.1 The teaching profession will rely on the support or knowledge of other professions. The teacher may require a practical element to the session which would require a competent practitioner in that particular field.

As a teacher I am responsible for the evaluation of course work and all aspect of the learning process to gauge whether improvements can be made. Throughout the process I must make sure that the course is delivered with quality and professionalism and continually assess my own teaching style and course delivery. As a teacher I will need to evaluate the course and delivery throughout the course duration to enable continuous improvement of my teaching and the impact that it is having on my learner.
Supporting the curriculum is also one of my roles. Under the guidance of a classroom teacher I will understand the theories of learning. I will be aware of the development process in learning and any difficulties, the factors that affect pupils and how each national strategy works, including national numeracy and national literacy.
It is important to promote appropriate behaviour and respect for others to achieve a safe learning environment, that is orderly, co-operative and purposeful.

As a teacher, one of my main roles is to motivate my learners, to develop their ability to learn also to develop my learner’s aspiration to learn. When you train to teach you read about delivering training and how to facilitating learning, but in reality you do much more than that, your role as a teacher is not just about teaching your subject or preparing learners for assessment. The focus of your role as a teacher I feel relates very much to inspiring your learners to change and develop their personal, social and professional skills to the best of their

1.1 One of the class teachers main roles is to monitor and assess pupil achievement. They need to know how their class are progressing and be able to report on this. The teacher plans the lessons and schemes of work to enable the children to reach their learning objectives. It is important that the teacher, children and support staff know the objectives so they can understand the learning that is taking place.
A teacher’s role is to arrange for suitable assessment for the students to ascertain their current skills and knowledge, to identify any barriers or challenges to learning to assess learning styles and to know the boundaries to work within.
Knowledge of their subject, pedagogical theory, ability to organise and create learning environment, assess and engage students, and continual learning are all vital to teaching. Without exception, outstanding teachers know their subjects extremely well (Bain, 2004, pp 15). In order to navigate the complexity of teaching a teacher needs to know the underlying science and have the skills to affect the strategies. Skills pertaining to motivation for student engagement and teaching for understanding, communication skills for simplifying or scaffolding instruction, organisational skills to manage the physical environment, resources and teaching for learner differences, collaboration skills to facilitate group activities and conflict resolution to manage difference in goals, all play a part. Additionally, they require skills within the present technological context such as in creating media and using ICT in order to deliver instruction in a diverse and authentic manner.

Students often find difficulty giving his or her attention to the teacher as others are talking or being disruptive. This instance can be avoided if the teacher will assert his self or herself and quieten the disruptive students. For example, I was in a class and the teacher was relating our studies to various movies and as we were watching one of the movies three students were making immature comments and the teacher never once told them to be quiet. Thus, I became very distracted and annoyed leading to a lapse in my attention causing me not to retain important details from the movie. In contrast, I have found it much easier to retain information or focus on the assigned work in a controlled classroom such as Mrs. Flemings’. Leading a student to an answer or understanding of the given work is just as vital as creating a controlled
Teaching is an exciting and challenging career, it is full of personal rewards and a chance to encourage and support others to achieve maximum potential in their life.
