English teacher job description
English teachers should be well-grounded in classroom management and school procedures. In addition to teaching creative subjects like poetry and fiction writing, they should be prepared to teach grammar rules, spelling and diction, word pronunciation, sentence structure, punctuation, reading and essay writing.
Our English teachers also:
· Prepare coursework and assignments for classes
· Grade tests, essays and reports, and other writing assignments
· Meet with colleagues to coordinate lesson plans and work with specific subjects of expertise
· Hold one-on-one conferences with students to keep them on track as necessary
· Meet with parents or guardians to discuss students’ academic progress, remedial issues and behavior problems when necessary
Who makes good English teachers?
English teachers should have outstanding vocabularies, with a firm grasp of word pronunciation and spelling and the ability to effortlessly break words down phonetically. They are expected to have a strong command of grammar and sentence structure rules, with a systematic and consistent approach to enforcing them. Grammar guidelines often require a repetitious approach, with a teaching style that balances classroom participation against the needs of individual students if they fall behind.
