The relationship between teacher and student
Teachers are committed to students and their learning. It is important as a teacher to know where a child is in order to get them to the next level. (2) Teachers know the subject they teach and how to teach to teach those subject to the student. If a teacher don't have full knowledge of what they are teaching then we can not effective, then the student will not receive the full benefit from that subject. (3) Teacher is responsible for managing and monition student learning. Assessment is an important tool for mentoring student learning. (4) Teacher thinks systematically about their practice and learns from experiences. There must set rules as a foundation and as we learn from the children we build from that. (5) Teacher are members of a learning community. This is important to stay inform and uniformed with the current information.
Teacher as a facilitator:
A teacher's roll as a facilitator should never pass judgment, but should be caring and sensitive with out interfering. We should guide and provide opportunity for development and emphasis divergent thinking. We ask open-ended questions to stimulate thinking and provide an environment in which they will learn. A facilitator is well prepared for the task they are giving. A facilitator establishes existing knowledge, build on it. We help and guide.

Working in groups
1. Some advantages of children being in a group in school help them as members if social group outside the school. They learn how to lead in groups as well as learn how to be followers. Children learn how to cooperate and share. Other advantage of children being in group is they can share ideas and have fun. They also learn to work with other.
2. (1) As teacher we must respect and accept a child's artistic and physical abilities. By doing so, they learn opinion, ideas, and feeling different from their own peers.(2) When one child make a not so positive remark to another child, the teacher's response should be of casual yet positive acceptance. Children should always be accepted at their individual level. Teachers are always given many opportunities to model an accepting attitude for children.
3. There are lots of advantages of working in a group however there can be some disadvantages. Disadvantages for a child in a group is that its not always easy to take turns. Another disadvantage is that you have to work with group rules. Working with each other can also be a disadvantage. Children in groups have to share.
