Melissa Kelly wrote an article called, “What Students, Parents and Administrators Expect of Teachers.” This article list some the responsibilities that teachers have that they may not realize that they have. For example, teachers must explain their subject matter to the students in a way that every student’s understand. The need and abilities of every child is different, so creating a lesson plan that gives every child an equal opportunity to learn can be difficult. Teachers must also be able to inspire every student no matter where that student comes from, or what their backstory may be.
Another skill that teachers must have is organization. When teachers are organized they are able to do their job better and maintain their classes better. They also need to have a good sense about common sense. Teachers do not want to put their students in danger because they did not use common sense and did something not safe. An important skill that teachers need is discretion. Teachers get a lot of personal information about their students. It is important that they know when to share information and when not to. This is for the teacher’s job safety and the child’s safety. The biggest job that teachers have is to be a good role model both within the walls of the classroom and out. The private life of a teacher has a large impact on the teacher’s professional success. If teachers do something unmoral outside of class, it affects how they teach. I thought that this article made some really good points. I liked how it talked about being a good role model. Just because we are not in the school, does not mean that our students stop seeing us as their teacher. Think back to when you were in high school and you saw your math teacher at the grocery store. Even though you are old enough to know that your teacher also needs food to eat and there are only two places to get food in your town, it is still strange to see you teacher outside of school. They are still your teacher. The same goes for teacher. We are still a teacher even outside of our classroom walls, and no matter where we go, we will be role models for the students that we teach.
