What is a Primary School Teacher?
As a teacher, you'll have many different responsibilities. You will act as a peacemaker, a facilitator, and a coach. You'll employ various methods for conveying information, such as interactive discussions and hands-on exercises that enable students to learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, or English. You might use visual aides; props and various media to help your students understand abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes. More and more, teachers work with their pupils in a team environment creating projects that require group responsibility.
