Managerial and Administrative Roles of the Pre-school Classroom Teacher
A pre-school teacher is supposed to ensure maximum care and safety of the children, the class and
play environment as well as the learning and play resources
...
Children
need to be assured that he/she is a friend whom they can depend upon and to love them the way
they are
...
Children depend on him/her to
learn both formally, informally and non-formally
...
He/she is similarly a peace maker and one who settles disputes among children
when they arise
...
The pre-school teacher is a motivator of children
...
The pre-school teacher is a supervisor of children
...
Vigilant supervision is very necessary in pre-school because preschoolers are
very active and mobile beings
...
Eye
contact is important in telling children he/she can see them
...
Proper discipline coupled with vigilant supervision
of children also ensures that the teacher is able to ensure that children do as expected
...
These roles must be played well since children mostly learn by imitation
...
They will also learn to be responsible and self-controlled
...
A disciplined
teacher similarly begets disciplined children
...
Most importantly, the pre-school teacher ensures that the classroom is a happy and
comfortable place for children to work or to be in
...
KIE (1995) asserts that the classroom size/space, ventilation, lighting, size of furniture and also
their arrangement can foster or hinder effective learning

4 to 35
...
Despite the fact that straight rows facing the front of the class help to discourage pupil-pupil talk,
making classroom control easier, they are not recommended for pre-schools
...
It is also easier for the teacher to attend to a small group
...
Children should be grouped according
to a specific criteria and should not remain in the same group the whole day, e
...
according to
ability in a certain activity, interest, age or friendship at some point
...
They should also
be clearly labelled by name so that children learn to associate the name and object e
...
door, chair,
window, floor, ceiling, blackboard, table etc
...
This ensures that they do not strain
their necks or eyes when they are reading or simply admiring them
...
Materials not in use should be stored neatly in tins/jars and labelled with pictures or words
depending on the children’s age
...
The children must be trained to ensure proper use and care of the learning and play materials
