1.1. Explain the teaching role and responsibilities in education and training.
The main role of the teacher is to be able to engage all of their students in such a way as to inspire them to want to learn. Being able to teach effectively is not about knowing the subject matter, but by being able to deliver that subject matter in such a way that students will learn and retain what is being taught.
The delivery of the information needs to be pitched at the correct level for the student audience that is being taught. To be able to evaluate how well this is being achieved, accurate records need to be kept from the when your students commence to when they complete by assessing their progress and ensuring that you give relevant feedback throughout the learning process.
Inspiring students to learn, comes from your enthusiasm, passion for the subject, and disciplined approach to each and every teaching session. You need to be the example that your students will be inspired to emulate. Being punctual, prepared, well presented and organised, shows your students that you really care about what you are doing and how you do it. Lead by example.
The teaching and learning cycle has been developed to ensure that all stages of the learning cycle are addressed so that both teaching and learning are effective. This teaching and learning cycle can start at any stage and is a cycle so that it continues throughout the teaching and learning process as outlined in Figure 1.1 below
