Teacher Primary
Primary school teachers educate primary school children, by
planning and conducting an education program to develop
literacy, numeracy and the physical, emotional, intellectual
and social growth of their students.
A primary school teacher may perform the following tasks:
- teach the full range of learning areas - English
(reading, writing, speaking and listening), maths, science,
technology, society and environment, creative arts and
personal development, health and physical education
- develop children's interests, abilities and coordination
using creative activities such as art, music and sport
- use computers to assist in lesson preparation, teaching
and reporting
- develop and maintain good working habits and discipline
in classrooms
- carry out administrative duties
- supervise students during classes and at other times in
the school day, including in the playground during breaks
- attend staff meetings and other training and development
sessions
- take part in joint decision-making about educational
issues
- assess and evaluate students' progress in written and
oral work
- discuss students' progress and concerns with parents and
administrators
- assist and organise sporting activities, school concerts
and excursions
- prepare for and attend parent/teacher interviews and
other functions.
Primary school teachers are usually trained to teach the
whole curriculum. Some undertake further studies to become
specialist primary teachers who develop and teach programs for
students with special needs, rural and isolated children, and
children for whom English is a second language. In some
schools, primary school teachers teach languages other than
English if they have the appropriate qualifications, skills
and experience.
Primary school teachers need to continually update their
subject knowledge and teaching methods through private study
and professional development activities.
