15. ROLES OF TEACHERS AS A CHANGE AGENT IN SCHOOL Unit 2 - F

16. ROLES OF TEACHERS AS A CHANGE AGENT IN SCHOOL ●Social Changes ● Constructive Changes

17. Agent of Change Change agents in education  are those who are doing new things in the  education  system and trying to spread those ideas outwards.  An  agent of change  is someone who sees a problem in their community, large or small, and does something to take action for substantial  change .

18. Social Change Social change is a concept in sociology which talks about a change in the established patterns of social relations, or change in social values or change in structures and subsystems operating in the society. The term social change is used to indicate the changes that take place in human interactions and interrelations.

19. ROLES OF TEACHERS AS AGENT OF CHANGE -SOCIAL CHANGES 1. Encourage active participation and experimentation Teachers should construct active learning opportunities, where students can be fully engaged with the material and play with ideas without being reprimanded for going too far afield. A few ways teachers might facilitate such a learning environment include letting students teach each other, setting up a system for occasionally letting students ask anonymous questions, and assigning open-ended projects in which students aren’t given the impression that they’re expected to take prescribed steps until they get to the “right” answer.

20. ROLES OF TEACHERS AS AGENT OF CHANGE -SOCIAL CHANGES 2. Teach students how to think Starting to make strides in this area may be as simple as rethinking common assumptions about which subjects are suitable for which students and when. Students are being taught how to think (and that their thoughts have weight and value and should be pursued) rather than what to think.

21. ROLES OF TEACHERS AS AGENT OF CHANGE -SOCIAL CHANGES One step teachers can take to encourage students to play a part in larger societal improvement is to create a classroom where they’re given the responsibility and authority to make some significant decisions. 3. Prepare students for change for the benefit of society.

22. ROLES OF TEACHERS AS AGENT OF CHANGE -SOCIAL CHANGES 4. Make democratic classroom processes Dewey noted that if we want our education systems to benefit the larger cause of a healthy democratic society, then it’s important that we keep democracy as a central “frame of reference” in our classrooms. Too often, he adds, we forget that participating in a democracy is a skill that needs to be honed in our daily lives. The classroom is a good place to learn to do just that: Consider making classrooms more democratic than authoritarian, starting at a young age.

23. ROLES OF TEACHERS AS AGENT OF CHANGE -SOCIAL CHANGES 5. Facilitate discussions among teachers to drive social change. Dewey made it clear that he believed teachers and schools had great influence over society, whether they were aware of that fact or not. If you think Dewey was on to something with this point, then it most likely follows that you’d agree teachers ought to be intentional about how they’re influencing our society. The best way to do that is to come together as a group to share ideas, experiences, reading, and successes. As these group discussions get bigger and broader, teachers can start to take on questions of policy—questions that should be decided with an eye on the influence that teachers have.

24. Constructive Change ●It is improvement/development of something. ●Seeking out opportunities

25. ROLES OF TEACHERS AS AGENT OF CHANGE -CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGES 1. Adapt to the learner’s needs and give them the freedom to construct knowledge for themselves. Each learner is considered as a unique individual, with cultural background, individual disposition, and prior knowledge influencing their learning. The teacher must consider all these factors, and then assist the learner in pursuing new knowledge and placing what they have learned into the context of their own lives.

26. ROLES OF TEACHERS AS AGENT OF CHANGE -CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGES 2. Give assistance so that students are able to consolidate their established understanding with their new learning. Students individual knowledge bases are the core of this type of learning environment. The teacher takes a back seat and allows the student to input which information is relevant to his learning.

27. ROLES OF TEACHERS AS AGENT OF CHANGE -CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGES 3.Acts as a role model. A role model is a person who inspires and encourages students to strive for greatness, live to fullest potential and see the best in themselves.
