Role of the Teacher

The role of teachers is considered to be one of continual research and learning process, taking place with the children and embedded in team cooperation.  Doing research, reflecting, and listening to children together with other colleagues, contributed to a situation of continuous individual and group professional growth.

​

They facilitate children’s ability to represent what they know and imagine.

​

Teachers mediate between children’s current understanding and what they are on the threshold of understanding by:

​

• reviewing and helping children tell the story of their own learning

• arranging new experiences

• challenges and problems

• connecting children with resources

• facilitating group discussions and social interactions

• reflecting children’s ideas and children’s learning

• Teachers use the understanding they gain in this way to act as a resource for them.
