Role of a teacher

What is the role of a teacher?

I have asked myself this question so many times, but have yet to come to a conclusion. I came upon this statement as I worked through my notes this afternoon.

"Your role as a teacher is to provide the preparation and appropriate material; in other words the correct environment for students to display their competence."

This is one whole of a mouthful. But it is meaningful if we see it from the point that a teacher should play the role of developing students. So teachers should create opportunities to allow their students to display their abilities.
