ROLES OF
TEACHERS AS A

SCHOOL
Unit 2 - F

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

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.

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.

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.

TEACHERS AS

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

the best in themselves.
