The Teacher
As a teacher, I wield the power of knowledge responsibility and seek first to educate and inform. My priority is sound pedagogy and methodology so my audience can quickly learn and take action on the knowledge I impart.
The Teacher is the archetype that is here to educate the masses. Teachers thrive on consuming, organizing, and distilling information so their pupils can receive it and benefit from it.
Teachers are the most grounded, practical, and logical of the bunch. They take their education very seriously and are constantly seeking knowledge through reading, research, and experience. Teachers thrive when they have a captivated audience (even via Zoom) to share information with.
Because of their innate affinity for process and methodology, Teachers believe in and rely on frameworks to support learning. Platforms such as podcasts, events, and courses are a preferred method for Teachers to reach the most students.
Teachers are skilled at making sure their students have the information, resources, and processes to ensure they’re successful in life.
The Teacher also represents the student.
