Teachers can have a range of degrees, it really does not matter. They may have a degree in Drama, journalism, English, Music, Web Design or even sports therapy, but that doesn’t not necessarily mean any individual can become a teacher.

There is still a significant amount of work to be done after gaining a degree, and not everyone will have the willpower or drive to complete additional courses to become a teacher. Like any job, you have to work hard to get to the top; however, there is a range of teaching jobs abroad. For example, China employ many individuals, many do not even have degrees, and they gain English teaching jobs. So even without degrees there are opportunities out there, but it just depends on how much you want a teaching job.

 

Each and every teacher will have their own teaching strategy, they may not be fully aware of it, but it involves their own personal style, and their beliefs. The way teachers present themselves and the way they speak is part of their own teaching strategy.

But more importantly, while they follow the curriculum, they do have the freedom to set the work they want, make activities based around the subjects, they can have their own classroom rules and this all forms part of their teaching strategy.

One of the most important aspects of teaching is controlling the classroom, because if you are able to do this, you can begin to teach with a passion. Students will then be engaged and involved, and if you haven’t done so already, make sure you consider your own teaching strategy, and use it as a guideline for everything you do. You can then be a consistent and fair teacher, ultimately gaining the students respect.

A teaching is not just an individual who teaches, that’s certainly the main aspect of their job, but they also have to act as a guardian of the pupils, especially younger children. This can involve playground duty, and perhaps helping children who are sick and arranging their parents to pick them up.

Another aspect is watching out for the children even after the working day. If an unreliable parent forgets to pick their child up (and trust us it happens) then the teacher should make sure he or she is not abandoned. And as an employee of the school, it is their duty to make sure the situation is handles correctly.

Either way it is important to consider extra responsibilities for teachers and while many are aware of responsibilities such as meetings and parents evenings, it is important to know some of the extra responsibilities that are required when working in a school.

Many people will argue that if you do not enjoy subjects at school, you will not learn in them. This can be true because a child may switch off in their lessons, and by losing interest they may come away having taken nothing in.

Then again if children are having too much fun, they may not be focusing on the subject itself. Some activities in primary education can be fun, and they should be to try and get the pupils involved, but it is possible to have too much fun, and this can ultimately distract a child’s attention from the subject in mind.

That’s why it is important to find the right balance, and if you are able to create engaging and interesting lessons that will get students involved without diverting their attention from the topic in mind, then you will be a successful teacher in primary education.

Handling the classroom is not always easy and some groups of children may be more challenging than others. It is, however, important to remain fair and consistent in every subject you teach, and to make help you control ‘naughty’ classes, we’re providing you with a few handling the classroom tips.

1. Set you own classroom roles on your first encounter with students, and stand by the rules.
2. Remove distractions from he classroom if they continue after discipline. And punish individuals who are urging the naughty behaviour.
3. Praise students who have worked well, and it could inspire others to do so.
4. Ensure a lesson has various activities, and not just one long un-engaging activity. Because if there is no interest in the subject, then it will become difficult to handle.
5. Finally, answer any questions with enthusiasm, and it can prompt more questions and curiousness in the classroom.
6. Handling the classroom can be extremely difficult, and occasionally it can be extremely easy, but stay consistent in all of your lesson and follow these golden tips.
