The role of the teacher in today s classrooms is a great one. Teachers today find themselves being mothers, fathers, friends, and administrators in many classrooms. I think that this is a good thing, because teachers need to be able to provide leadership, comfort, understanding, and guidance. Teachers need to know that they are there to guide students along the way while they learn about themselves and about one another. Teachers should let the students find out exactly who they are and what they believe in and let the students know that while it is okay to be different, they should not let their differences hurt each other.
Teachers also have to work with each other and their administrators.
Only two groups of people know what really works in the classroom, the teachers and the students. If the students have a problem with what is being taught, they should be able to talk to their teachers about it, and if the teachers have a problem, they should be able to talk to their administrators. But, this ladder will only work if all the rungs are there. By this, I mean that everyone has to work together. The role of the student is also a complex one.
