Question

Explain what teacher's role about all of the different responsibilities of a preschool teacher. Include descriptions of the teacher’s role in interacting with the children, planning the curriculum, the classroom environment, interaction with parents and team work.

Answer 1

One of the most important characteristics of a preschool teacher is a pleasing personality with enough patience. When handling kids, the teacher needs to be very patient because kids are not very regulated population thus needs more time to engage in activities and understand the processes. Secondly, the teacher needs to be sensitive to cultural diversity, thus maintaining a sense of equality and encouraging. Someone who promote and project his/her own culture cannot be a good teacher. Thirdly, a preschool teacher needs to be aware of the different learning styles and different learning speeds of the learners thus designing a curriculum which is more flexible and would meet the needs of all the students. Fourthly, it’s the responsibility of the teacher to create a positive and favourable environment where all the students help each other by interacting and completing the tasks in groups without any difference. Finally, a preschool teacher needs to be in touch with the parents in order to report about the child’s overall progress, provide suggestions to the parents to understand the child well and help the child at home and finally to collect genuine feedback in order to improve oneself.
