Reclaiming teaching

November 27, 2007

In the world of education it has become an accepted practice to avoid the word “teacher” and “teaching”.

We who walk into a classroom every day to face a group of students are called upon to play many roles. We are facilitators, we are entertainers, we are curriculum developers, we are counselors, we are friends, we are decision makers, we are helpers, we are guides, we are mentors, we are editors, we are evaluators, we are planners, we are communicators, we are learners ourselves.

I may be all of those things, but most of all I am a teacher.
