...The Roles and Responsibilities of the Teacher There are many roles and responsibilities of the teacher, these have somewhat changed from my experiences at school. Teachers would stand at the front of the classroom and deliver a lesson using only the blackboard and chalk. The teacher was considered the knowledge fountain. As I explore the various roles and responsibilities of the teacher I will show the importance of ensuring the student is given varied tools and opportunities in order to learn and progress through education and life. A teacher is not just someone who delivers curriculum content to learner's. The responsibilities stretch as far as safeguarding children. For example if I thought a student was suffering abuse at home or was homeless it is my duty to report this to the safeguarding representative in college. I as a trainee teacher have a duty of care over my students and understand the duty of care expected of me as a teacher. Teaching needs to be a varied environment upon which learner's can experience different 1 learning strategies. This could be through group work or discussion based, whichever way the teacher deliver's the lesson the end outcome is generally more positive from the learner's point of view. The teacher has a very important moral responsibility, one that in the end is all that matters and that is to give students the knowledge and opportunities...

...Unit 10: Caring for Children and Young People | 10D - Strategies used to safeguard children and young people from abusive and exploitative behavior | Abbie Williams | 02/01/2015 | P4: Explain appropriate responses when child maltreatment or abuse is suspected – There are a variety of different responses of which would be considered appropriate when you believe that a child or young person is being abused or facing maltreatment.

You can also observe the child’s relationship with their parents, carers or guardians and look out for any poor interaction between them. Things that may be said by the child: Mummy hit me Daddy touched me Daddy did this to me last night, but he told me not to tell anyone or he will hurt me again My aunt pulled my hair If you suspect that the child is receiving abuse or is being maltreated, (depending on whether the child is of developmental stage), speak to the child along with their parents/guardians in order to seek out some form of explanation. If you are going to speak to the child, make sure that he/she is comfortable. By feeling uncomfortable this may stop the child from disclosing any further information.
