A
year ago I wrote an article on different roles a teacher plays. The roles
mentioned were: didactic, pedagogic, custodial, mentorial and leading. It was
my own opinion an a teaching profession. Today, I’d like to focus on a synthesis
of those roles into one cathegory.
Multitasker
As
far as my opinion is concerned, a teacher is a multitasker. S/he has to do
several things at the same time and need to be really focused on her/his work.
A teacher is supposed to lead her/his students, help them to acquire knowledge
and skills, inspire them to think by themselves, to be creative and able to
live in a society, to take up initiatives and to be willing to get on well with
others.
How to cope with
multitasking?
There
are several things, wothout which I can’t imagine my life as a teacher:
1) A calendar – as a teacher you
need to be well-organised. There are thousands of dates and deadlines about
which you have to remember: dates of conferences, teacher-parent meetings,
tests and homeworks, as well as deadlines for documentation and papers.
2) A notebook – it should be divided
into several sections: student lists with their names and the space for notes,
information about contests, additional activities, and school events.
3) A calculator – to help you with
assessing students’ tests.
4) A multifunctional device for
printing, scanning and coping various tests and exercises for students.
5) A laptop - for various presentations and interactive
activities.
6) A cup of coffee – to make your
day at work pleasant, especially during longer breaks;)
