 * TEACHER**

To plan, organize and implement an appropriate instructional program in a learning environment that guides and encourages students to develop and fulfill their academic potential. A day in the life... In the classroom, my day typically begins with the final preparations for the students' arrival. I will be making sure I have all the equipment necessary for the day's lessons, handouts, pencils, markers, etc. for all of the subjects. Once the students arrive the time is devoted to them and all necessary tasks required for the day must be completed before their arrival. The day includes the instruction of the various subjects and meetings. Once the students leave, my prepartations for the next day begin. I need to make sure I have thorough lesson plans created for each subject and all of the necessary materials for the activities of those lesson plans gathered. Then I go back to any student submitted assignments and complete the grading of those. As often as possible, I use in class activities to determine the level of understanding of my students so I am not needing to wait until later to make sure all of the students are progressing. Teachers usually arrive at school 30 minutes before the students and can stay several hours after school. Their work often is brought home with them to complete additional lesson planning and grading.
