I believe there are many important roles a teacher plays in regards to being a teacher. One of the first important roles that comes to my mind is being there for them. Many children do not have a steady parental role model in their lives. As a teacher, you may be the only person in their lives who is continually there for them and wants them to succeed. I believe it is extremely important that as a teacher you stress to your students that you are there at all times for them no matter the issue. Let them know you are their friend, and you want them to be the best that they can be. That in itself is extremely important.
Another important role a teacher plays is that of preparing their students for what lies ahead; preparing them for the future. Of course it is much more than that, but one of the most important things we can do for our students is give them the knowledge they need for the future. It is our job as educators to relay information to our students in a variety of ways so that the students not only obtain the information, but are able to understand and apply it as well.
Being a teacher is most definitely not easy. I could go on and on about important roles that a teacher performs. In fact, I believe that every role a teacher performs is important. Without those roles, they could not and would not be a teacher. It is those important roles put together that makes a teacher who they as educators. I know it will be the hardest thing I may do in my life, but I look forward to the opportunity of holding the position of a teacher, and helping educate the minds of the future.
