In education, teachers are those who help students or pupils learn, often in a school. The

objective is typically a course of study, lesson plan, or a practical skill, including learning

and thinking skills. The different ways to teach are often referred to as the teacher's

pedagogy. When deciding what teaching method to use, a teacher will need to consider

students' background knowledge, environment, and their learning goals as well as

standardized curricula as determined by the relevant authority.

Related positions

A teacher who registers a student, or who is positioned to help the student in a particular

subject, is in some cultures called a "tutor".

A teacher or trainer from whom a student learns a great deal may be called a "mentor".

(this term is used, in this context, in the UK.)

An "educationalist" is an educational theorist, writer or researcher.

In traditional China, the model teacher, Confucius, is greatly revered. A Chinese term for

teacher is shifu , (sifu) (teacher-father) or laoshi (old teacher).

Other terms are rabbi, guru, etc.

Primary and Secondary School Teachers

Perhaps the most significant difference between primary and secondary teaching in the

UK is the relationship between teachers and children. In primary schools each class has a

teacher who stays with them for most of the week and will teach them the whole

curriculum. In secondary schools they will be taught by different subject specialists each

session during the week and may have 10 or more different teachers. The relationship

between children and their teachers tends to be closer in the primary school where they

act as form tutor, specialist teacher and surrogate parent during the course of the day.

This is true throughout most of the United States as well. However, alternative

approaches for primary education do exist. One of these, sometimes referred to as a

"platoon" system, involves placing a group of students together in one class that moves

from one specialist to another for every subject. The advantage here is that students learn

from teachers who specialize in one subject and who tend to be more knowledgeable in

that one area than a teacher who teaches many subjects. Students still derive a strong

sense of security by staying with the same group of peers for all classes.

University teachers

Teachers in college are called instructors or lecturers. In the United States, the term

"professor" is usually applied to college or University teachers who have received their

Ph.D., while instructors or lecturers have received their Masters degree, and usually are

pursuing their Ph.D. Professorial rankings from Assistant Professor through Full

Professor that may be defined differently at various institutions. The rank of American

university instructors depends in part on the amount of relevant and publishable research

completed over time.

An "assistant professor" is typically required to have completed extensive research

seminars at the post-graduate level and have written and defended the dissertation. The

Ph.D. is almost always required. Assistant professors are similar to lecturers or readers in
