Educators are project managers. Some educators become good project managers. They are often assigned duties beyond the classroom, presiding over a broad range of faculty and student activities. It is up to them to provide the organizational structure, the goals, the milestones for progress, and the final authority on matters in dispute. At the same time, they have to understand group dynamics, and feedback, so that they get the most out of the enthusiasm that their students will bring to any activity.
Educators are public relations people.
Public relations and community affairs represent still another hat worn by educators. Group and individual sessions with parents are just one part of that. Very often some aspect of the community will be touched by an educator's activities, and tactful, carefully thought-out communications are a must. This has become especially critical in recent years, as secondary schools and colleges have been asked to take over roles which were formerly filled by families. Educators are counselors.
