Understanding roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training

Understand the teaching role and responsibilities in education and training

      * Explain the teaching role and responsibilities in education and training
As a teacher, one of my main roles is to motivate all learners to develop their ability and aspiration to learn. You can do this by planning and preparing teaching and learning activities that take account of the needs and well-being of individual learners as well as groups of learners.
Some key aspects of your role as a teacher may be:
  *   carrying out initial and/or diagnostic assessments;
  * clear communication with your learners, other professionals and stakeholders;
  * promoting appropriate behaviour and respect for others;
  * identifying and meeting individual learners’ needs;
  * being aware of the support mechanisms available;
  * being organised;
  * being reflective, which means learning from successes as well as mistakes.
