A Teachers Job - Is This For You?A teacher’s job requires a lot of work, a lot of patience, a lot of creativity and also a lot of thinking. A teacher must always upgrade his work in way to make each lesson to be an interesting, new and exciting one. He has to fit in certain standards and he has to capture students’ interest. Of course, many other jobs include stress, creativity, patience, responsibilities and many other things that the job of teacher requires too but a teacher knows that if he wants satisfaction in his work, he has to do a great effort and work hard with his students. Experienced teachers should help each other and help new teachers. They should share their work in way to keep a good quality work and in way to give a good example so new teachers can see what means to be a teacher and how hard you have to work. Collectives-teacher communities exists and if a teacher needs lesson plans he can easily find them on forums, in these communities, for all required levels. If they want to share their work, they are welcomed. If you are looking for sites for teachers you must know that there are many of them and thousands of teachers are members and share their work there. One of them is Carla Beard’s Web English Teacher site. You can find there lesson plans with various subcategories like Shakespeare, Poetry, unique ideas and recent literature lesson plans. Erica Cassel’s “Helpful Handouts for Students and Teachers” is an extremely good site for students and teachers. The best thing is that on this site, you can download writing, reading about poetry and other literary terms.There is also S.C.O.R.E., a site that really impressed me. It includes lesson plans of all kind, for units k-12 and much more. There are lots of sites for teachers and students, for example, Teachers.net but with what I said above, you will have enough to keep you busy for weeks and even months. |
