Teaching and its principles
2
Teacher -

• A teacher (also called a school teacher or, in
  some contexts, an educator) is a person who helps
  others to acquire knowledge, competences or
  values.
• Informally the role of teacher may be taken on by
  anyone (e.g. when showing a colleague how to
  perform a specific task). In some countries,
  teaching young people of school age may be
  carried out in an informal setting, such as
  within the family, rather than in a formal
  setting such as a school or college. Some other
  professions may involve a significant amount of
  teaching (e.g. youth worker, pastor).
• In most countries, formal teaching is usually
  carried out by paid professional teachers. This
  article focuses on those who are employed, as
  their main role, to teach others in
  a formal education context, such as at
  a school or other place of initial formal
  education or training.

Duties and functions

• A teacher's role may vary among cultures.
• Teachers may provide instruction
  in literacy and numeracy, craftsmanship or vocatio
  nal training, the arts, religion, civics,
  community roles, or life skills.
• Formal teaching tasks include preparing lessons
  according to agreed curricula, giving lessons,
  and assessing pupil progress.
• A teacher's professional duties may extend beyond
  formal teaching. Outside of the classroom
  teachers may accompany students on field trips,
  supervise study halls, help with the organization
  of school functions, and serve as supervisors
  for extracurricular activities. In some education
  systems, teachers may have responsibility for
  student discipline.

Teaching Principles

• Teaching is a complex, multifaceted activity,
  often requiring us as instructors to juggle
  multiple tasks and goals simultaneously and
  flexibly. The following small but powerful set of
  principles can make teaching both more effective
  and more efficient, by helping us create the
  conditions that support student learning and
  minimize the need for revising materials,
  content, and policies. While implementing these
  principles requires a commitment in time and
  effort, it often saves time and energy later on.

5

• Effective teaching involves acquiring relevant
  knowledge about students and using that knowledge
  to inform our course design and classroom
  teaching.
• Effective teaching involves aligning the three
  major components of instruction learning
  objectives, assessments, and instructional
  activities.
• Effective teaching involves articulating explicit
  expectations regarding learning objectives and
  policies.
• Effective teaching involves prioritizing the
  knowledge and skills we choose to focus on.

6

• Effective teaching involves recognizing and
  overcoming our expert blind spots.
• Effective teaching involves adopting appropriate
  teaching roles to support our learning goals.
• Effective teaching involves progressively
  refining our courses based on reflection and
  feedback
