How Teacher should relate to

the State
Chapter 3 / Application
  We demand a lot from our teachers. We expect them to have a
deep and broad understanding of what they teach and whom
1ST they teach, because what teachers know and care about makes
such a difference to student learning.
  And there are aspects that make the job of teachers much more
challenging and different from that of other professionals.

2nd Teachers need to be experts at multitasking and they do their

job in a classroom dynamic that leaves them no second to think
about how to react.
  And whatever a teacher does, even with just a single student,
will be witnessed by many and can frame the way in which
3rd both the student and the teacher are perceived in the school
from that day forward.
  But we expect much more from teachers than what appears in
their job description. We also expect them to be passionate,
compassionate and thoughtful; to encourage students’

4th engagement and responsibility; to respond to students from

different backgrounds with different needs; to provide continual
assessment and feedback to students; and to ensure that
students feel valued and included.
  Not least, most people remember at least one of their teachers
who took a real interest in their life and aspirations, who helped
5th them understand who they are and discover their passions, and
who taught them how to love learning.
