This chapter outlines four critical roles that teachers play in educational settings to enhance learning and student success. It examines the reflective practitioner who deeply considers students and curriculum, the teacher/researcher who utilizes data to refine teaching methods, the professional community member who engages with educational literature and collaborates for reform, and the assessor in a constructivist classroom who designs effective assessments. Understanding these roles helps educators improve their practice and foster a supportive learning environment.
