How a Teacher’s Role Changes

The role of a teacher changes depending upon the grade in which they teach.

A Teacher’s Role in Today's World

According to the George Lucas Educational Foundation,the role of a teacher today is much different than it used to be.

Teacher's used to be told what to teach, and how to teach it. They were expected to use the same methods for all students. In today's world of education, a teacher's role is quite multifaceted. Their job is to counsel students, help them learn how to use their knowledge and integrate it into their lives so they will be valuable member of society. Teachers are encouraged to really tune into how each individual student learns, and try to really challenge and inspire them to learn.
