Teaching is quite easy, school will provide you Thier format, how long you will teach the subject will depend how long the scheme stipulates it be taught ...
Again how often you give assignment will be predetermined by the school calender

Hello guys, I graduated earlier this year but couldn't serve as I wasn't eligible for NYSC as I was above 30 years of age when I graduated.

Coming back to Port Harcourt, I applied as a Subject Teacher in several schools, went through several interviews and made it, after going through their salary rates, I had to go for the highest bidder which is 40k and I'll be Teaching two subjects..
You lied to get a job? You sure you're a graduate?

Now the thing is, I lied heavily that I'm a experienced Teacher during the interview and added imaginary and non existent schools to my CV, what made me scaled through the interview here was that I researched and also went through several threads and noted down all what could possibly be asked and I also obtained lesson notes and lesson plan samples from one lessonnotes moniker, researched, practiced, found a topic and revised and scaled through the micro teaching, the next day I was offered the job.

Now schools would be resuming two weeks from now and I don't need to fumble, guys please any insight on what is expected of me as teacher?

How often should I give assignments?
Where do I get the syllabus and textbooks?
How often should I teach a topic, should it be one week per topic?
Any other thing I need to know?
Your inputs would be so highly welcomed.

Try not to discourage anyone.
It's a start....
He may get better offers from this, gain experience for better offers or even meet someone who will put him on a better path.
Diligence is key

Go to the websites of havard university, Princeton, MIT, etc. They offer free tech courses on data science, machine learning, project management, Python web development etc. Learn a tech skill and apply for tech jobs. Teaching in Nigeria is the fastest way to poverty.

In every term, there is a scheme of work, revealing topics to be taught per week through the term. This guides your lesson plan.

Not your fault bro. Hunger no sweet for belle. When you resume scout around the school, look for a humble and experienced teacher , make her your friend, but do not expose the fact that you are inexperience. Once in a while ask her some questions stylishly to get some info and act on them. Make sure she is not the type that gossips. get notes from students, learn online also how to prepare lesson notes. Speak less but listen more and learn quickly. Goodluck.

Trustnone thank God for nysc I don Get small experience as a school teacher

1st when school resume. U will b provided with the scheme of work for that term. It will contain all the topic to teach. Each week a new topic
10 teaching weeks
1 revision week
2 exam week.

The school should provide u with text book if they have library much better

As for the assignment after 2 weeks or 3 weeks (on Friday)u can give them assignments to submit on Monday. That’s if u have strength to mark their script


Don’t forget u have to give them test every school has their test week. I think test is 2 or 3 times a term.

Ur main problem is lesson plan

Don’t b afraid to ask questions. (I’m new here please tell me how u people do this or that)

Teaching is very easy. Don't be dogmatic, choose your style and make sure your students enjoy the class.

Assessment and assignments depends on the kind of feedback you get in class, time and the length of the syllabus .

Prepare for every class, teach yourself and answer every likely questions before meeting your students. Make your class interactive and support your lesson note with teaching aids.

Oga, why do you think you will suddenly be like the teacher that has been teaching for 40 years in a few days?

Just go in there and do your best. SIMPLE. You will learn and grow as time goes on.

Teaching is a useless job, yet someone taught you to read and write and to get the stuff you needed for your degrees.

Someone also taught the people that made the stuff you use everyday.

Unless you are an autodidact (and even then, most of the material you rely on was written by teachers).

Let me make it clearer, teaching is the most useless professional job in Nigeria, not because it's bad but because it's not rewarding.

Teaching in the private sector is even worse.

I don't hate teachers, I come from the lineage of teachers but their lives could have been better if they chose a better profession.

Write to your senator then, so that they imporve their service.

If there was no one to teach, there would be no one to treat you in the hospital, no one to fix your car, no one to sell you stuff, and so on.

Teaching is not USELESS.
