The role of a teacher is extremely diverse. Personally, my role includes: programming lessons to meet the academic needs of my students, teaching the lessons, assessing what my students already know and what they've learned, communicating with parents, encouraging their involvement with their child's education, maintaining a positive learning environment within my classroom, administering discipline when necessary, modifying classwork for those who need the modifications, attending team meetings, staff meetings, and special education meetings on a weekly basis, being on the look out for issues my students may be facing (i.e. problems with eye sight, ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities, etc.), conferencing with parents, applying band-aids, giving hugs, watching out for the nutritional needs, social needs, and physical needs of my students, and keeping a great attitude through it all.
Gosh, I love my job.

I've been a teacher in Chicago for 20+ years. I've broken down the roles I play into a poem.
If It Weren't for Teachers----by: Jazz
If it weren't for teachers, where would we be?
Without a different point of view to see,
we wouldn't know of our world, nor all that is in it. Our learning would be limited, our lives a boring minute.
There wouldn't be doctor's, lawyer's, president's and such.
Can you believe that to some this doesn't mean much?
The money's not equal to the jobs they do.
They're acting parents and counselors too.
They are professionals!
Yes, that's what they say, but have you thanked a teacher today?
We thank our doctors for saving our lives,
but did you ever think who made that doctor so wise?
We thank our lawyers when our case is a success, but who taught that lawyer to always do his best?
The hours are long, the pay is in pride.
The job is most important, and least recognized.
So on this topic, and I'm sure you'll agree,
We'd be NOWHERE without teachers to set our minds free!
There are many roles of the teacher, and they all center around making sure the child learns.
Basically, by any means necessary. But now days, you'll find a longer list of things that teachers can't do than what they can.

Very good question.
Now a days if you can't do anything you can become a teacher.
Then you will spoil the entire life a children.
There are very few teachers who are really teacher, they know their duties very well but rest OH GOSH!
The best thing for a teacher is not to teach properly but to open a center for tuition. If teachers are so good then there should not be PLENTY OF TUITION CENTERS.
Role of a teacher in short. Go to school. college or University.
Show their knowledge to student by asking difficult questions or giving them difficult tasks.
Without knowing anything about human being teach long hours with the same pattern to all student however, we all are different in nature then how could we learn by the same pattern? but teacher don't give a Da-------.
In the class they will teach which is not useful in practical life.
If you don't believe me then look around you how many teachers do you like? there will be very few and rest are just nothing.
I should stop otherwise Teacher will go on strike.

My daughter is a first year teacher and boy have I a new respect for the teaching profession! She worked for a month before school started getting her classroom set up. Teachers have to spend so much money purchasing things that are needed in the classroom but not necessarily provided by the school system. Aside from the obvious tasks of teaching 20 students all day, she is also a shoulder to cry on when someone gets their feelings hurt, takes care of scrapes from accidents on the playground, bloody noses, putting bandaids on when new school shoes rub a sore spot, making sure parents are aware of what is going on in the class weekly and organizing a snack schedule. She also has the task of monitering snack foods brought in because of a serious food allergy that one of the students has. Once she is home for the night..she has papers to grade, report cards to complete, lesson plans to make and has to be up at 5:30 the next morning to do it all again. And she LOVES it....

Well for a start we educate children and most of the children in my class know what a question is and how to ask one!!!
If by your clumsily written message what jobs do teachers do? then the list is endless.
educate - in many subjects
socialise - a job that should be done by parents but is left to us
teach manners and etiquette
administer first aid
talk to parents
plan
mark
evaluate their own performance
be a role model
be a friend
jump through hoops!!!
What else do you want to know?
Oh I forgot put up with complete idiots who still think we work 9 till 3 and have extra long holidays. (how many of you gave up 50% of your last holiday or weekend to work without being payed overtime?)

Well, apart from the teaching of 'spelling' (you get 2/3 for yours and 2/10 for the composition of your question), arithmetic, geography and so on, there is the planning, the marking of student / pupils work, and the meetings they have to attend, and administration they have to undertake - along with being up-to-date with any and all
- the recent changes in rules and regulations
- teaching standards
- health and safety
which they have to be fully understanding of, intergrating it within their given sphere and any of the other possible roles they might have to undertake.
Ok?
Sash.

Check the 'burgundy book' for details of teachers' terms and conditions. Basically their contract says that they are required to do whatever they are required to do to fulfil their ROLE.

I'm assuming you mean ROLE? Aside from the obvious (teaching, planning lessons, and the like), they spend a lot of their time dealing with administrivia and trying to get parents involved in their children's education.

One of the most important things that they do in my opinion is influence those that they teach, not all by what they teach but how they live.
