Role and responsibilities

• Many people find the role of volunteer teachers
  in China to be a rewarding experience. They are
  not accountable to any employer of organization.
  Let us discuss some of the responsibilities of
  volunteer teachers.

3
Teach them to think critically

• If you join as volunteer teachers in China even
  for a temporary period, you can use this
  opportunity to help students start thinking
  critically. You can devise ways to make them put
  on their thinking caps instead of spoon feeding
  every concept. The pupils should be encouraged to
  solve problems independently instead of looking
  on the display board for answers.

4
Quality of teaching

• Since they take care of routine tasks which would
  otherwise have to be performed by the teachers,
  they can now focus entirely on the academic needs
  of children. The faculty get more time to carry
  out their teaching assignments uninterruptedly.
  So there is an improvement in the quality of
  instruction.

5
Can concentrate on individual needs

• Sometimes the average class size is to too big
  for a teacher to handle individual students
  appropriately. If you have a volunteer, it helps
  to cater to the individual requirements of
  students.
• Field trips- The volunteers help in the
  extra-curricular activities of students. They
  sometimes accompany the students to the field
  trips too.
• Provide extra help- They provide additional
  support to students with special needs and also
  to students whose native language is not English.

6
Outlining the value of education

• Education is probably the most useful tool to
  combat poverty. In all underdeveloped countries,
  the importance of teaching cannot be over
  emphasized. So becoming a volunteer teacher in
  one of the schools in any of the economically
  challenged countries is no doubt challenging but
  can be an eye-opener. You can motivate the needy
  students and help them understand the value of
  education.
