What is the role of the teacher in the behaviorist scheme?

I believe it is important for teachers to clarify their educational philosophy. To me, a great teacher loves learning, and a great teacher can spread the significance of lifelong learning attitude to their learners. Creating a healthy and sustainable learning environment is the fundamental role of teachers. In that environment, the teacher plays a role as a motivator that conducts learning activities that stimulate curiosity and active problem-solving and critical thinkers. Individuals learn in different ways and it is the teacher's role to identify, understanding and cultivate their learners' unique ways of learning. To accomplish that, the teacher is expected to acquire the ability to promote collaboration, communication, choices, critical thinking, creativity, and caring in learning environment for the learners.
