Teaching & Learning in the Primary School
In our reflective tutorial today we discussed the role of the teacher in the classroom. What struck me was the diversity of the role and the closeness in nature of the relationship between that of the student and teacher. Roles such as educator, authoritative figure etc. were some of the more obvious roles mentioned, however, it surprised how quickly the more ‘personal’ teacher roles were highlighted; and more significantly the weight that these roles carried or were regarded by us e.g. reliable, trustworthy, a friend, and sometimes in the case of junior classes a ‘mother’ role is adapted by the teacher.
