#4 Beyond Imparting Knowledge: Redefining the Educator's Role

Make It Mindful: An Education Podcast

Is the role of the educator to impart knowledge or something more?

In this episode, hosts Seth Fleischauer, Lauren Pinto, and Komal Shah deconstruct the role of the educator, and how to define it for the future within our school system. We take a closer look at the Encyclopedia definition of an educator, and how this outdated definition is still evident in K-12 schools. In our conversation, we find ourselves debating what is "truly" the role of the educator, whether as a guide, a facilitator, a knowledge expert, or something more. The key questions we raise include: Is the role of the educator to teach, or to dismantle the power dynamic between students and teacher? We are so excited about this one!
In this episode, we will cover:

- The "official" definition of the role of the educator

- How school context defines the role of the educator

- The future of the role of the educator
