Types of Teachers
Introduction
According to Jeannette Walls, “Teaching is a calling and that teachers in their way are holy-angles leading their flocks out of the darkness.” It is a common saying elaborating on the marvelous work done by teachers. A teacher, regardless of their categories such as Elementary School Teachers, Secondary School Teachers or rather Special Education Teachers among others, is unique and deserves their respect( Dobber, Marjolein, et al., 220). They thoroughly help others acquire competencies, values, or knowledge, and therefore, despite them having different virtues such as being an explainer, involver, or an enabler are essential in the roles they play. The goal of this essay is to identify and explain the three different types of teachers, namely Elementary, Secondary, and Special Education School Teachers.
Elementary School Teachers
In most cases, elementary school teachers have one class teaching students different subjects. The school curriculum initiated by primary school teachers is structured based on the fundamental disciplines, namely language arts, social sciences, mathematics, sciences, reading, crafts, and music. And, in as much as the structure might change depending on the type of school, elementary school teachers have highly hands-on who are expected to incorporate an enthusiastic environment for the pupils (Baysal, Zeliha Nurdan, 180). They generally educate young children on ordinary academics to develop soft social skills; thus, work with them individually.
Secondary School Teachers
Unlike Elementary School Teachers who deal with young children, Secondary School Teachers deal with students and therefore enforce stringent rules for behavior for excellence performance in daily activities. The teachers are expected to instruct students via lectures, demonstrations as well as discussions in one or more subjects, which would be Biology, English, Geography, Physics, and many more (García-Moya, Irene, Carmen Moreno, and Fiona M. Brooks, 880). Indeed, they try as much as they can using compassionate and hard-working virtues, among others, to help teenagers. The teenagers are henceforth expected to develop academically. That is highly shown in assignments and examinations, preparing them for academic careers.
Special Education School Teachers
Special Education School Teachers work with a variety of students with specific disabilities. Disabilities can be of a wide range, such as physical, mental, learning, or emotional disability. The core aim of special education school teachers to help students living with a disability understands and adapts different disciplines while reading and writing. They are henceforth expected to instruct as well as providing physical and psychological support in addition to facilitating their participation in regular classrooms (Smeets, Ed, and Jaap Roeleveld, 431). Also, in most cases, they serve as case managers. They are responsible for the IEPs evaluation and development of the students connected working for more than eight hours as they work beyond the required standards.
In conclusion, teachers play a very crucial role in the life of a student, which should be appreciated at any given time. Other than extraordinary things about being a teacher like watching students learns and growing, it is a good routine that requires a lot of dedication to planning prep-work and hassles. Teachers not only influence the lives of the students but also benefit society as they are prepared for their future careers. It is, therefore, mandatory for every citizen to respect teachers regardless of their type as they inspire and educate people. The impression since time-immemorial teachers create to the students has prepared them for future dynamics connected to development in their ability to learn, understand, and practice various activities they have been taught.
