Teachers teach children to read, write, do math, and much
more. They use games, videos, computers, and other tools to teach
children different subjects.Teachers show students skills. They also explain information.
Teachers plan their lessons before they teach, which can take a lot of
time.
Teachers try to make their lessons easy to understand. They teach
things in different ways so that different students can learn in the way
that is easiest for them. Teachers might use a chalkboard, a projector,
or a computer. They make posters or worksheets before class starts.
Teachers plan the schedule for the day. Most teachers have to teach what
the principal tells them.Teachers also assign homework and class projects. They often have
students work together to do projects. When students are not doing as
well as they should, teachers help them.
After class, teachers grade papers and projects. They also create
tests. They write students' report cards. And they meet with parents to
try to help their children do better in school. Teachers sometimes go to
workshops to learn how to teach better. Some teachers also help with
sports or other after-school activities.
Most kindergarten and elementary school teachers teach several
subjects to one class. In some schools, two or more teachers work as a
team. Other teachers teach one special subject, such as art, music,
reading, or gym. Most middle school and high school teachers focus on one subject.
They might teach English, science, or history, for example. Some teach
students how to do a job. High school teachers spend more time
explaining a subject and less time with activities like games.
Teachers work with students of many different cultures. Some students
were born in the Malaysia, and some were not. Teachers learn about
different cultures so that they can be more helpful to students.
Teachers like to see children learn. But sometimes teaching lots of
students can be stressful. Teachers also have to deal with children who
misbehave.Many teachers work more than 40 hours a week. While most go on
vacation during the summer, some choose to teach in summer school. Some
take another job. Some go to college to learn more about teaching.
