Roles & Responsiblities of Teaching - Pgce
Roles and Responsibilities Report
As a teacher there are wide range of roles and responsibilities that we must fulfil in order to ensure we are successful. There are many different audiences which we have to adhere to, not just students, but parents/carers, social workers, case managers, schools, examination boards and our managers. Wilson (2009, Pg 6) describes a vast list of roles and responsibilities of a teacher. In this list she highlights a variety of areas from duties surrounding planning schemes of work and lessons, assessing, verifying and reviewing students learning, marking work and entering students for qualifications and examinations, having a duty of care, creating a safe environment for all and many more.
I feel that within these roles and responsibilities I have some strengths and some areas for improvement. Throughout this report I will discuss many of the roles and responsibilities which I feel are important in my role as a teacher, and evaluate them in terms of my strengths and my personal areas for improvement. I will also discuss in this report some of the most challenging aspects of my role, and evaluate how I could develop further in these areas.
Wilson (2009, Pg 4) states that as teachers “We are charged with ensuring our learners gain their qualifications in a manner which is favourable to their own learning needs and those of the awarding bodies”. Through this she highlights our main aim as teachers to ensure that all students achieve their qualifications. However, she also describes how it is imperative that all students learning needs are met. These learning needs could include a variety of different aspects varying from Learning Difficulties and Disabilities, Emotional Behavioural Difficulties, Social Issues, family circumstances and many more. Through having a good understanding of our students learning needs we can ultimately provide an inclusive and conducive learning environment (Wilson, 2009 & Tadeo, 2010).
