THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER

            From my personal opinion, this part of the book is essential to know as future teachers because a teacher's role involves more than simply standing in front of a classroom. In fact, even though a teacher spends the majority of the day in the classroom, the actual teaching component is only part of the job. An effective teacher should understand that teaching involves everything in a classroom. Therefore, those tree important areas are significant when talking about this topic, critical and feminist pedagogy, cognitive and educational psychology, and constructivist theory. Those have large implications for the role of the teacher because teachers should develop each of those aspects inside the classroom. However, I consider there are many traditional teachers, who don't take care about their learners but I think the goal of being teaching  is to involve students in their learning process and also helping them to acquire the correct knowledge and retaining information. Women’s Ways of Knowing (Belenky, Clinchy, Goldberger, and Tarule, 1986). "Challenging the nature of knowledge and raising questions about the role of expertise require that faculty revisit and reassess long-held traditional views of the teacher as the exclusive content and classroom authority". It is because the power in the classroom often benefits teachers more than it promotes student learning. To sum up, when teaching I will take into account what are my roles as teacher and I will create a good environment in order to avoid tiredness on students and I must keep in mind that an effective teacher makes everything to be succeed and to achieve specific objectives with the class.  

I found important information about this topic and I would like to share it with you
