Teachers Roles and Responsibilities
It's a good idea to be clear about roles and responsibilities of your partnership.
The teacher is responsible for student behaviour and classroom management. Theastronomer should not be left alone to deal with students. He or she should beable to count on the teacher to help with classroom logistics or inattentivestudents. Be sure to let the astronomer know about classroom rules and routines.
Both the teacher and astronomer are responsible for getting in touch with theirpartner. Often partnerships end from lack of communication. Avoid this pitfall byinitiating contact with your partner (even if you think it's the other person's turn)and returning any calls within two days.
The teacher should stay engaged and involved in the classroom. Takes notes, dothe activities, and ask questions. This models curiosity and learning to studentsand it helps the astronomer. If it seems that the students do not understand the
astronomer's explanation for something, you can help the astronomer to clarify byasking the question in another way.
8/4/2019 Roles & Responsibilities of an Educational Supervisor
65/158
Keep interruptions to a minimum during the astronomer's visits andif possible arrange for a longer class lesson for the visit.
Keep track of time during the visit (because astronomers can getexcited and lose track of time!).
Coordinate logistics and equipment before the astronomer's visit
(making copies, getting a slide projector, setting up the computer,etc.)
Arrange the details of any field trips or activities away from school;get help from the astronomer if necessary.
Express appreciation and thanks to the visiting astronomer andmake your astronomer feel welcome (with the help of thestudents).
Make plans for the future visits.

Tips for Teachers
Here are some additional tips for teachers to help make your partnershipgo smoothly.
Prepare a welcome.
Select several students to greet the visiting astronomer.
Give your astronomer a chance to learn. Let the astronomer have time todevelop his or her teaching skills and do what is interesting to theastronomer. However, do not leave him or her floundering.
Let your astronomer use his or her interests. Your astronomer will be morecommitted to you and your students if they can do something that is ofparticular interest to them.
Provide and request feedback. After the visit provide feedback to theastronomer and have them respond to your positive reinforcement as wellas constructive criticism. At the same time, ask your partner for feedbackand input (new ideas, constructive suggestions, or areas where your helpis needed).
8/4/2019 Roles & Responsibilities of an Educational Supervisor
67/158
Discuss the visit with your students. Build on their experience with follow-upactivities.
Share your experience. Parents, colleagues, and school administrators benefit fromhearing about the astronomers visits. Publicity in the community will gain supportfor your efforts, and for the school.
Keep a portfolio. Keep a record of the work done including photographs, students'
work, curriculum outlines etc. You never know which students will like astronomy. Don't make assumptions about
which students will be interested, or which students will or won't connect with theastronomer.
Address the issue of women and minorities in astronomy. It's important to showstudents that there are female and minority astronomers. If your partner is awoman or a member of a minority group, ask them to talk about their own
experiences. Otherwise the astronomer can talk directly about women andminorities in the field, or help find additional resources.
Think interdisciplinary. Incorporate interdisciplinary activities in writing, spelling,art, social studies, reading and mathematics

Essential Qualities of a Teacher
1) Teacher as a Role Model :
Role Models are people who set good examples by the words they speak and by
the actions they take. Role Models can be the people you know personally orpeople you have learned about in the news at school or on television.
Students tend to copy the behaviour and mannerism of the teachers. Theteachers entire personality is a reflection on the minds of the students. If theteacher is honest, leads a balanced and disciplined life, the children adopt thesevirtues as a ideal conduct unconsciously. The ideal teacher s one who through his
thoughts, words and deeds, gives and an impression of an honest upright lifewhich can serve as a model for the students to copy, follow and emulate.

achieve this objective, if the teachers have good mental health.Students develop interest in those subjects, which are taught bypleasing and genial teachers. The teacher makes the emotionalatmosphere in the classroom. A neurotic teacher may spread fear,nervousness and worry in the classroom. A fanatic-teacher mayspread hatred, prejudice and hostile feelings among the students.I
f he has a good mental health, he can create love, interest andenthusiasm for learning and a taste in the subject he teaches.

10) Teachers Professional Training
The teacher must have the required professional training; withoutwhich he will commit serious pedagogical blunders. Prof.
Monteque in his book, Education and Human Relations. Assertsthat, No one should ever be permitted to become a teacher of theyoung unless by temperament, attitudes and training, he is fitted todo so.
8/4/2019 Roles & Responsibilities of an Educational Supervisor
93/158
TeachersAccountability
Lessinger advocates that each child has a right to be educated in order to becomea productive citizen of a country. The parents and the citizen have a right to knowthe progress of education of their children. Teachers, being the educational orhuman engineers are accountable for the progress of the children they teach.Because of this, the National Policy on Education 1986, in India, has made thisconcept very popular.
Mass education in India appears to be in a degrading condition. Educationimparted by some teachers is far from satisfactory. Majority of the students lackfundamental knowledge in different areas of education. Such teachers do not feelit to be their responsibility. They are involved in private tuition and coachingcentres to get some remuneration. Many parents cannot educate their children incostly public schools. Commitment on the part of the teachers have beenreduced to a great extent. Therefore, there is a need to make the teachers awareof their accountability to their profession.
8/4/2019 Roles & Responsibilities of an Educational Supervisor
94/158
Since a teachers accountability is very important inmodern teaching-learning process, the accountabilityof the teachers should be evaluated at frequentintervals. There must be proper supervision of theirwork. The supervisor should see how far the teachersare accountable in respect of teaching, research, co-curricular activities, use of aids and equipments in theclassroom, utilization of local resources for the benefitof the students and development of students moraland ethical values. Thus, the degrading condition ofeducation in our country can be checked.

Professional Ethics of Teachers
Teachers who consider their job as a profession, work only for paycheque. Their work is considered useful for their own sake. Sinceperchance they have occupied a professional chair they try for their
own good, at the cost of others. But our cultural heritage provesthat true teachers are those who consider their job as honourable. Such teachers work with a sense of self-fulfilment and self-realization. Prof. George Herbet Palmer once rightly said, IfHarvard does not pay me to teach, I would gladly pay Harvard forthe privilege of teaching. This should be the professional value of
anI
ndian teacher. An ideal teacher should not work withpecuniary motives, but with a sense of education and for the causeof education

Towards Students
It shall be our primary duty to understand them, to be just, courteous, to promotea spirit of enquiry, fellowship and joy in them, not to do or say anything that wouldundermine their personality, not to exploit them for personal interests and to setbefore them a high standard of character, discipline and personality.
Towards Profession
It shall be our primary duty to be sincere and honest to our work and to gothoroughly prepared to the class, to endeavour to maintain our efficiency by studyand other means; not to do or say anything which may lower our prestige in theeyes of our students; not to write or encourage the use of help books; not to exert
any pressure upon our students or their parents to engage private tuition, not toact as an agent or accept commission and other compensation for recommendingbooks.

Towards Society
It shall be our primary duty to set an example in citizenship, to endeavour topromote the public good, to uphold the dignity of our calling on all occasions, tosize up the demands and aspirations of the society, to be dynamic leaders whenrequired and to be ideal followers when desired.
TeachersUnion
Teachers union can also play a very significant role in creating an atmosphere inwhich shirkers and other people with doubtful intentions may not find a congenialenvironment. Unions should create a public opinion which should serve as anadequate sanction against such unsocial acts. Now, teachers unions are merely
used as a forum for ventilating their grievances and otherwise trying to promoteservice conditions. In addition, these unions should also take steps which mayhelp the teachers in projecting their proper image among the people.

The teachers diary is his helpful guide. It will enable him to keep a personal contact with hiswork, maintaining an active interest in his activities and remind him of his shortcomings, draw-backs, etc. The worth of a diary lies in the regularity with which it is filled and the use to which itis put and also the inspiration which it may give to the teacher to be on his track and to miss his aimand scheduled targets.
The headmaster should occasionally check the diaries and give useful comments orally, if he feelsthe need. His matured experience will go a long way in making the Teachers Diary really
worthwhile documents. Printed blank diaries are available but it matters little if the teacher isserious in his work
