SEVEN ROLES THAT MRS THOMPSON DISPLAYED WITH THEIR EXAMPLES
Learning mediator
Explanation: The educator will mediate learning in a manner which is sensitive to
the diverse needs of learners, including those with barriers to learning; construct
learning environments that are appropriately contextualised and inspirational;
communicate effectively showing recognition of and respect for the differences of
others. In addition an educator will demonstrate sound knowledge of subject content
and various principles, strategies and resources appropriate to teaching in a
country's context.
Examples: Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents.
Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone bracelet with
some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume. But
she stifled the children’s laughter when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was,
putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume on her wrist. Teddy Stoddard stayed
after school that day just long enough to say, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled
just like my Mom used to.”
Interpreter and designer of learning programmes and materials
Explanation: the educator will understand and interpret provided learning
programmed, design original learning programmed, identify the requirements for a
specific context of learning and select and prepare suitable textual and visual
resources for learning. The educator will also select, sequence and pace the learning
in a manner sensitive to the differing needs of the subject learning area and learners.
Examples:
Leader, administrator and manager
Explanation: the educator will make decisions appropriate to the level, manage
learning in the classroom, carry out classroom administrative duties efficiently and
participate in school decision making structures. These competences will be
performed in ways which are democratic, which support learners and colleagues,
and which demonstrate responsiveness to changing circumstances and needs.
Examples: After the children left, she cried for at least an hour. On that very day,
she quit teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. Instead, she began to teach
children. Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him,
his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he
responded.
