The teacher does serve as a bridge between students and the community. The knowledge she provides to her students enables them to interact with their community. I think a good teacher keeps her students informed of important occurrences in the community so that they will be aware of what is happening around them. Many of these students in time will go on to become productive and influential members of their communities. The community can also provide education to students as teachers bring them into the classrooms to share real-life experiences to students.
Teachers play a big role in educational renewal and reform.
Since only teachers can truly know what it is like in the classroom, it is their job to seek reform when they feel that it is necessary. It is also important for teachers to communicate with one another as a group, in order to stay informed on the latest advances in teaching methods and to make sure if appropriate, they are implemented into her own school system. The world we live in is constantly changing and it is important for education to grow with it and to keep up with our changing technology.
