Role of the Teacher

Teacher working with a small group


In a constructivist classroom the teacher:
-decides what concepts he/she would like the students to learn
-starts with the whole picture and lets the student construct the parts
-spends most of his/her time thinking of questions that will cause his/her students to think
-works on finding activities that allow students to wonder and question what they know
-brings in activities that are relevant to the students and spark their curiosity
-builds a bridge between previous knowledge and the concepts students are learning
-allows student questions to guide the learning process
