The document discusses the changing world that today's children are growing up in and how the education system must transform to prepare students for continued rapid change. It describes the key roles of teachers, including determining learning objectives and assessment tools, facilitating group work, and signaling when activities should conclude. Additionally, it expresses the view that a role model teaches others about themselves through honest, trusting, and open-minded treatment as an equal, especially in today's society where differences are not always accepted.

Children today are growing up in a world that has changed significantly over the past
ten years. They are comfortable around technology that they have known all their lives.
The changes going on today create an opportunity and a necessity for a transformation
in the education system and in the way children are taught. Children must be prepared
for a future of continued rapid change.
The teacher, obviously, plays the most important role in the teaching-learning process.
The teacher determines the students, plans tasks with very specific outcomes in mind,
determines the value point system for completion of certain tasks, determines
assessment tools and the ways in which they will be used.
In addition, the teacher serves as a facilitator, resource, and observer during all learning
activities. It is expected that the teacher will remain actively involved by circulating
among the groups and by joining groups for brief periods of time to facilitate, not to
dominate. It is the teacher who signals closure to the learning activity by initiating
sharing.
Moreover, I believe a person has many role models in their lives. Each role model
teaches a person about themselves . A role model to me is someone who not only treats
me as an equal but is honest, trusting, and most of all open-minded especially in today’s
society. We live in a society that really doesn't allow one to be different . A role model
DARES you and themselves to be different. That is, being a teacher is a crucial
profession but must always bear in mind that we (teachers) live to teach and not to teach
to live.
