Responsibility in Education: Whose Job is it? by Marian Jeanette Laxa, MA (September, 2006)

The teacher is the prime mover inside the classroom from whom the students expect to learn. In the classroom setting, the responsibility in education rests heavily on the part of the teacher. It's the duty of the teacher to share his knowledge in the best possible way to the student, in the most agreeable strategy-possible to reach out to the learning style of the student.

It is not about his knowledge, skill and expertise but how he converts this knowledge, skill and expertise to suit the interest of the student so that he will inculcate in them the values that could mold the students into people who will move our country into a better place to live in.

In this goal-the teacher should be student-centered. She could do better in teaching if he gives an example and let his students do the learning and decide on themselves the knowledge they are most capable of absorbing. In the process, the students also discover their learning style and thus will be a basis to the teacher to find schemes and strategies, which could better transmit the knowledge she wants to share.
