QUESTION 1
Identify the seven roles of a teacher that Ms Pamela Troye played out in her
teaching.
The “seven roles of a teacher” here likely refer to the framework from the Norms
and Standards for Educators (South Africa), which lists them as:
1. Learning Mediator
2. Interpreter and Designer of Learning Programmes and Materials
3. Leader, Administrator, and Manager
4. Scholar, Researcher, and Lifelong Learner
5. Community, Citizenship, and Pastoral Role
6. Assessor
7. Learning Area / Subject Specialist
Based on the story, here’s how Ms Pamela Troye demonstrated each role:
1. Learning Mediator
She created a disciplined yet engaging learning environment where homework and
classwork were always completed, learners stayed focused, and academic results
were excellent. She mediated learning by ensuring her students stayed on track and
understood the content.
2. Interpreter and Designer of Learning Programmes and Materials
She managed the entire Social Studies syllabus for Grade 10 alone, designing
lesson plans, structuring the curriculum, and adapting teaching to meet board exam
requirements.
