Secondary Teacher Duties and Responsibilities
Teaching involves many duties and responsibilities. We researched many secondary teacher job descriptions to come up with the following list of duties and responsibilities most relevant to this position:
Plan Lessons Based on State Curriculum Each state has its own curriculum guidelines for each subject. Secondary teachers plan lessons based on the core competencies outlined in these guidelines. It takes some creativity to create engaging lessons that also fall within curriculum guidelines.
Deliver Lessons and Monitor Feedback Being a secondary teacher is partly a public speaking gig. They deliver their lessons day in and day out, monitoring student behavior and engagement along the way. They then use this feedback to refine their lessons.
Create and Administer Tests to Monitor Student Progress Secondary teachers use a grading system to grade assignments, tests, and quizzes designed to monitor student progress. Most secondary teachers create their own tests and quizzes based on their specific lessons. Secondary teachers may also administer state exams depending on the state they work in.
Maintain Classroom Harmony With raging adolescent hormones, things can sometimes get out of hand in a secondary classroom. Secondary teachers have to have command of their classroom and conflict resolution skills to maintain classroom harmony.
Participate in Regular Staff Meetings Most secondary schools have regular meetings for secondary teachers of the same subject. These meetings are for sharing teaching strategies and staying abreast of any policy changes. It can also involve team meetings for a group of teachers assigned to a certain "house" of students.
