In education, a teacher is a person who provides schooling for others. A teacher who facilitates education for an individual student may also be described as a personal tutor. Many teachers carried out these roles for children in Voices for Children. The role of teacher is often formal and ongoing, carried out by way of occupation or profession at a school or other place of formal education. A teacher's role may vary between cultures. Teachers teach literacy and numeracy, or some of the other school subjects. Other teachers may provide instruction in craftsmanship or vocational training, the Arts, religion or spirituality, civics, community roles, or life skills. Voices for Children provide many news letters which I found very insightful. http://www.voicesforchildren.org/

Excellence and Equity of Care and Education for Children and Families
I continue to view the organzation Voices for Children. This organzation takes pride in the things to they for children. They also have many promises for and education as well as teachers. They believe that education in its broadest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another through institutions.

Tameka,
ReplyDeleteI really like the Voices for children's beliefs on education and societies role of passing down all the knowledge, skills and values from one generation to the next. The role of a teacher has many sides and a facilitator of education is just the main one. A teachers job is never done. Each culture has a different take on the role of a teacher and some do not view the teacher interfering with the family unit as proper. Thanks for sharing your site. I will add it to all the others I have saved for the future.
