Your First Time In Teaching Job by fubbyy(m): 2:23pm On Dec 08, 2014
this is 3 years of graduation with no job, ran up and down but couldn't find any, now I'm about to take a teaching job in one of the secondary schools around,I've discussed with the proprietor,
Now the problem is this, I've never taught in any school before,what is it like? Where and how do I begin to teach these students? do I start from scratch? which is "definition of a subject"

what about their register where I'll record their scores,how do they prepare it?is it just writing all their names and specify a box where to put marks, I never knew I would ever become a teacher,now the wind of life has blown me to it,I have no choice

So how was your first time in teaching job,how did you start?did you have any guide? Please is their any book like "teachers guide for beginners" that can give me a clue on
where to start


Thanks

The first and only time I taught was during my NYSC and it was like mini hell! Teachers are really trying , you will have to mark assignments, test , exams and still record the marks, make lesson notes bla bla bla..... suffer no be small plus the talking too. The kids are very lazy, they don't want stress and the parents aren't helping.


All you need to do is just make friends with any nice male teacher on ground if you are a lady and if you are guy look for any nice female teacher to put you through.

The key component of a lesson
note are Behavioral
objective,content,presentation,conclusion

A brief description of a lesson
note..it is a plan design by a
teacher to achieve stated edu
obj.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
It important cos it as a guide and
other teacher can use it to teach
when u are not available

NOW LET GO TO EACH
COMPONENT OF A LESSON NOTE
*******behavioral objective is
very vital..it a statement of
intended action/what you ought
to achieve at the end of the lesson..

********CONTENT
it has to do with the lesson
itself....evrything you ought to
teach the student

*******INSTRUCTIONAL/
REFERENCE MATERIAL
Your reference material are
mainly ur textbook whch u will
use in teachng...
Instructional material are tools/ materials that aid
teaching.Instructional materials
support learning
content..examples are
charts,textbooks,radio,tv,projector
etc
*Instructional materials varies
and depend on the content,learners age,class,size,subject itself etc...
For a large class,it adviceabl to
use instructional materials that appeals to both sight and
sound...A projector is suitable in
this case..
For a small class,chart place in
front of the class is suitable etc Now let assume u are teaching
transportation/money to j.s
class..it preferable u get a chart
displaying the diffrent mode of
transportation/denomination of
d naira currency for them to understand the class better.
If you are teaching accounting ,let say Final accounts,it important to get
copies of p n l acct/balance sheet
of any plc so that the student will know how a pnl or balance
sheet looks like..
Finally.instructionl materials
make lessons more interesting

****PRESENTATION
This are step u will take during
the course of the lesson to
achieve ur stated objective.it
should be in line with ur
behavioral objective Let assume you are teachng database and in the previous class you taught the class
Computer
Your presentation will go thus,
***STEP1: The teacher ask the following question from the
previous class
a.what is a computer
b.state 2 use of computer
c.list ten users of computer

***STEP2:the teacher introduce
the lesson by defining what a
database is

***STEP3: The teacher gives
advantage and disadvantage of
database

***STEP4: The teacher state the
importance of database

***STEP 5:The teacher
summarises the whole lesson
and welcome questions from
student

********EVALUATION
Your evaluation must be in line
with ur behavioral objective..if
you intend to achieve four
objective in the course of ur
lesson,ur evaluation must have four questions.
Let assume our behavioral
objectives are..
At the end of d lesson,student
should be able to
1.Define database
2.State the importance of
database
3. State advantage and
disadvantages of database..
Your evaluation question to the
student will be
1.define database
2.state importance of database
3.state advantage and
disadvantage of database

NOTE: Manner in which student
respond to ur evaluation question will tell you how far you have been able to achieve ur stated objective
Re: Your First Time In Teaching Job by Odunharry(m): 2:08pm On Dec 29, 2014
Fubby..
What subject(s) can you teach very well?
Once u identify it,you are good to go..

I gave that description of a lesson note cause you will definitely need it before u teach...

Pls,when u get to class,dnt be to harsh or too friendly to the student i am talking 4m little experience...

Classroom management and control is another thing to consider in class..u as a teacher is the boss/manager in the class u are teaching and anything u say is final...Make sure u adopt the best management technique u think is best..
Beating/punishing a student isnt the best way to effective manage ur class

Co-operate with fellow teachers,prepare ur lesson notes ahead of the next class..

Teaching too has it code and conduct
dnt go into relatnship with female student,no compulsory sale of textbk or other materials,leaving the school without permission isnt allowed etc.

I believe when you get to the school,you will know more
