    Lesson 1: Various Roles of Teacher in the Society

    “Teacher are also unique individuals, practicing professionals, community leaders, parents, experts, and
    models who are looked upon by students’ parent, the community, and other sectors of the society. Hence
    they should be recognized by their own identity.”

    Beyond and above the role of teachers in the teaching-learning process in which they are considered as
    expert and authority, they played other roles in the society.

    The teacher is an essential component of the teaching and learning process. The quantity of learning
    achieved by the pupils has been established a highly correlated to the quality of teaching done by the
    teacher.

    1.1 The Teacher as an Expert

    What makes a teacher an expert? According to Professor John Loughran, teaching is such a complex
    activity because it revolves around decision making involving various concerns and issues. Teachers are
    constantly making decisions about a range of ideas, issues and events: content, student behavior,
    homework, catering for different learning styles, assessment and so on, not to mention the paper works,
    reports and data needed to be complied and submitted to authorities.
    Expert teachers know what they are doing and why because they carefully consider how to structure their
    teaching in ways that will have a positive influence on their students’ learning.

    In conclusion, what differentiates expert teachers from others is that the former understands their subject
    matter and they also understand their students. This understanding allows teachers to provide rich
    problems, to adapt these problems so that they can be used at many levels of difficulty, to use good
    questioning techniques that help students reflect on their own reasoning processes and to adapt lessons to
    maximize the learning for all students. (Findell, 2011).

    1.2 The Teacher as an Individual Person

    Teacher like no other human being is an individual perceived as role models and ideal person. As a
    person, he or she grows up as individual with his or her own set of values, beliefs, and perceptions about
    the smallest or the biggest things and issues around. She/he has developed certain feelings or emotions,
    and just like any other persons, acts with a keen awareness of different situations either rationally or
    impulsively.

    Teacher’s identifies are shaped by personal, environmental and cultural factors, teacher’s life experiences,
    the level of education, skills, vocation or occupation which are all contributory to the teacher’s identity
    and personality. Teachers are likewise into problems, confusion, conflicts, and stressful conditions.

    Teachers like the learners are also diverse.

    The talents, skills, strategies, performance levels, intelligence levels, social behavior, and abilities in
    dealing with tasks vary from person to person or from teacher to teacher. There teachers who are great in
    music and art, others are good in math, and some are creative in making their classroom aesthetically
    pleasing and good to look at.

    Teachers have needs.

    Teaching is a difficult but challenging source of livelihood. It entails patience and strong heart to face the
    challenges confronting the day to day duties of a teacher. The teacher usually ignores the overwhelming
    nature of the job and chooses to serve instead.

    Greg T. Pavilion identified and listed the following needs which have to be met in order to have
    productive and globally characterized teachers:

    1. Security and Justice – feeling secured with your environment and with your life is basic among
    human needs
    2. Emotional Needs - the need to feel safe regarding how you feel about yourself and your
    emotional needs must also be fulfilled. There is a need to boost the morale of the teacher, so
    he/she will feel enthusiastic and energetic to carry his/her work. Her/his outstanding works and
    accomplishments should be recognized and appreciated.
    3. Economic Need – money may not be the most important in one’s life though it makes life
    comfortable and easier to survive and sustain man’s everyday needs. Time and again, teachers
    fought hard for salary increase to cope with the rising cost of living.
    4. Spiritual Needs – the enormous tasks of a teacher are sometimes heavy to bear. They put many
    stresses on teacher’s shoulder which sometimes affect her moods and attitudes. Teaching
    instruction will be also likely to be affected if this situation is not immediately addressed to.
    5. Social Needs – teachers link together students, other teachers, school administrators, families and
    community members to foster the learning success and healthy development of their students. By
    nurturing positive relationships with stakeholders, particularly the students, the teacher brings
    downright strong impact on the learning process of the students.
    6. Role Clarity – the clearness of the description and responsibilities of a job eliminated possible
    conflict in the workplace. Lack of role clarity can lead to tension and conflict between and
    among workers and leaders as well. Poorly defined or conflicted roles in a worker can be a
    stressor which may result in job inefficiency.
    7. Coping Skills - teachers just like any human beings, experience stresses brought about by the
    various tasks they need to perform every working day. Stressors can come from the people they
    mingle with in and outside of the school.
