Ptlls Roles and Responsibilities
Roles & Responsibilities

Hello Deborah and fellow PTLLS students... Just thought I'd introduce myself to you all prior taking part in the discussion forums. My name is Britt. I'm looking forward to this journey of self development and discovery and meeting you all albeit electronically. And hopefully in person next weekend. I'd like to wish you all luck and success.

Now to the question,
What do you believe your role to be as a teacher?

I see the role of a teacher as someone who wears many hats. Health & Safety Officer, Administrator, Assessor, Mentor, Facilitator and much more.... A teacher has a duty of care for his/her students whether it is on a one to one basis or a group. Follow codes of good practice and organisational policies. To deliver adequate teaching methods/materials and mark given tasks appropriately. To be able to review teaching methods and continue to self review aswel as the needs of students. To be able to conduct a lesson in a safe, respectful environment whilst making the lesson as interesting and interactive to all participants. With the desired result being that everyone will leave the lesson with more knowledge and a better understanding of the subject.

What responsibilities do you feel you should be asked to take on in adult education?

The above answer also applies here. But I'd like to add by saying some responsibilities may be handed over to the adult. It may be necessary to modify the delivery to adults. It would be a good idea to gain as much information about the adult group to ascertain their depth of knowledge and any other barriers which may have to be overcome or taken into consideration. Communication is key to teaching, making the learning experience a positive rewarding one.
The following qualities could go a long way to helping:
Honesty - Positive - Encouraging - Communicate - Involve - Listen - Constructive Feedback - Support - Assess - Set clear aims and objectives - Make it fun - Resources -

    Also, knowing about adult development and learning is extremely important because adults will be your target of improvement. It is important to understand about thinking processes and different types of learners, in order to present effective training to the teachers. Just as students, not everyone learns in the same way, and then add the stress factor of any given situation that such adult might be undergoing, and you have wasted valuable time and effort. Knowledge about multiple methods to deliver any training will be needed.…

    What children learn in school should be useful to them — but later in life. Child learning is subject-centered. Adult learning is learner-centered. Adults focus on direct application. Given their daily obligations in job, profession, family and community they learn to cope with the pressures and problems of life they are facing. In consequence the adult educator’s concern is not only and not even primarily the logical development of a subject matter but the needs and interests of the learners. "Andragogy (adult education) calls for program builders and teachers who are person-centered, who don’t teach subject matter but rather help persons learn" (Knowles). However, the interests of adults are their real needs. Or the solutions learners have in mind do not solve their problems. The adult educator often has to enter into a "needs negotiation" (Bhola) with learners when teaching new needs about boiled water or a balanced diet, about clean surroundings, preventive health practices or small families. In the dialectical process of needs negotiation the needs as felt by the learners and the needs as seen by the adult educators must be brought together to reach a consensus on the "real" needs. These real needs must correspond to the experience of adult learners. If an adult gets the impression that his experience is not being valued he feels rejected as a person. New learnings take on meaning as adults are able to relate them to their life experience. Experienced adult educators, therefore, build into the design of their learning experiences provision for the…

    Treat them like the adults they are. Adult learners are generally more sophisticated and experienced than their younger counterparts and they benefit from realistic examples of skills they can use in “real life.” “Adult learners will be empowered as they discover they have a great deal to teach their younger classmates, and the dynamic is mutually beneficial,” said Thomas Lisack, an instructor at Rasmussen College in Wausau, WI. Lisack recommends incorporating intergenerational discussions on issues that otherwise have a generational divide as appropriate for the subject matter to engage learners of all ages.…
