My belief is that teachers have many different roles. The main role of a teacher is to be a source of knowledge for students. Teachers must be able to get the correct information to students in a way that they may be able to understand it and comprehend it.
Teachers are also helpers.
They must be able to help students in the process of learning and wanting to succeed. Another role teachers must fulfill is that of an encourager. Teachers must encourage students in positive ways, which help students feel good about themselves. I believe teaching and learning should be fun and enjoyable for both the student and the teacher. If the learning children are receiving is dull or boring, they may get very tired of it and not be very motivated to learn anything further.
