At Educating UK we are often asked by our learners undertaking the Level 3 Award in Education and Training (QCF) how to put into words the role and responsibilities of a teacher.
This blog will hopefully support anyone undertaking the qualification to do this. It is also a useful information guide for anyone interested in the teaching role.
There are many roles, responsibilities and boundaries related to the role of a teacher, tutor or trainer. They can include the following:
Role of a Teacher:
- Deliver lessons effectively
- Plan engaging and relevant lessons
