What are the differences between a teacher, an educator and an academic?
353625
As a teacher, an educator, and academic, let me phrase this answer as simply as possible.  A teacher is someone who is taught how to teach something (say English) and in turn, teaches others.  An educator is someone who specializes in teaching others how to teach, and sometimes may even dabble in the act of teaching themselves.  An academic is a person who has studied a great deal about a specific topic, and therefore may qualify as an expert in that area.  Many retired academics make great teachers.  And some make horrible teachers, as  they have never been educators, let alone teachers.  Teachers are bad academics; they know a little about a lot and not a lot about a a little.  Educators are mostly ignored by academics who think they can teach (some can) and by teachers who can teach (because they do it, and not train others about it.)  Hope this helps!

I have to laugh.. You would not believe it if I told you.. There is NO NO NO comparison... In the U.S., the Students control and in other countries.. evesn in Africa, the teachers control the classroom. There is GOOD discipline in the classrooms in other countries and the students are EAGER.. really EAGER to learn whereas in the U.S., they are not really motivated to the learning process... I am an educator and I could go on and on but time does not permit.

EVERYTHING in education is established, defined, and implemented by law.\n\nSchools are funded by taxpayers through legislation.\n\nSchool operations and administrative issues are set by law (class sizes, use of funds, teacher licensure, etc.).\n\nStates define academic standards through legislation.\n\nEven the AMOUNT of classroom decoration is limited and defined through state/federal fire codes (no, not researched educational benefit... fire safety).\n\nThere isn't a move teachers and administrators make, that isn't controlled in some way by laws and regulations.

Teachers are a great asset and play a major role in shaping a students career and thinking.\n\nA student, spends over 20,000 hours in school till he completes the 12th class and during this long period he absorbs the qualities of his teachers by observing their conduct.\n\nTeachers have the responsibilities, to not only spread knowledge but also impart spirituality and scientific outlook which are essential for a nation to grow.

Teaching is the responsibility of the teacher or professor. Learning is the responsibility of the student. A good professor will present material in a way that facilitates learning, but it is up to the student to learn it. After all, the professor can't just open up your head and pour the material in. Some work on the part of the student is always required.\n\nThere's also the issue of memorization. Studies have shown repeatedly that information is retained longer and more accurately when it is revised frequently in small doses. This works much better than cramming at the last minute, at least for long term memory. For example, to retain knowledge of verb conjugations your French professor covered in class, it helps to review them every couple of days initially, then after a few weeks slow it down to one revision a week, and eventually to once a month or so. With frequent revisions initially, it is much easier to convert short-term knowledge into long-term knowledge.

Unlike the US system, not every university teacher in Britain is a professor. The academic hierarchy goes Junior Lecturer, Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Reader and then Professor when you get a chair. A Reader is an academic with high standing and is just below Full Professor level. Only a small number of British academics are called Professor.

This question does not belong in this category.  Teaching refers to the education profession and related questions, not "teaching" you the answer to your question.

Teaching means actually providing instruction.  Facilitating means helping someone discover things for themselves.  Faciitating might be a strategy you would use as part of your teaching repertoire.  There is a very interesting article, Teaching or Facilitating: A FAlse Dichotomy.  I've included the link.

Geez, it depends on the teacher. Some teachers heavily incorporate technology while others teach in the same way as instructors did fifty years ago.
