Responsibilities.
The main role of a Teacher is Education. It is the teachers responsibility to impart their knowledge

Make the venue/classroom user friendly. Arrange desks/furniture, where possible, in such a way that every student can see/hear what you are saying or demonstrating, and always leave the venue in a clean and tidy order for whoever uses it after.
Put some time aside for any student who would like clarification of anything but would feel more comfortable doing this one to one.

Other teaching responsibilities include making sure attendance records are complete and kept up to date. Also keeping a record of each students progress and if needs be adapt to meet their individual needs. Attendance at staff meetings should be adhered to.
