HELLO,TEACHERS!!!
I �m interested today in your teaching norm. My annual teaching norm
is 648 school hours for English language or 720 school hours for Geography. What about in your country ? |

Annual I �ve no idea ;)... but every week I teach 30 hours, here "teaching hours" are 45 minutes.
I could do more, except for usually my first class is at 7 or 8 in the morning and the last class is at 8 at night, then there is this annoying break in the middle, if they were all together I could teach much more, but working in a Language School that �s just what you have to put up with.

The hours would be nice, but I wouldn �t work in a state school for all the money in the world!
I teach classes of 10 or less students, usually around 6. All different ages and levels (but not at the same time) and they are all there because they like English and want to learn it and they enjoy it. If you put me in a class of 30 teenagers.. usually at different levels.. usually not happy to be there... I �ve no idea what I �d do! I �ve so much respect for anyone who teaches in a state school!

Hi,
I work for a state school - for a low salary. My norm would be 18 hours per week, but this year I have to teach 23 hours per week (the 5 hours are paid extra). One �hour � is 50 minutes. I teach English to 10 classes, always mixed ability classes. My youngest Ss are 6 (level 1- primary garde 1), my oldest are 15 (8th grade). We have 10 minutes break after each class. There are over 20 Ss in my classes. I am also a classteacher for 28 Ss in the 5th form. A day at work can get pretty exhausting, for the above mentioned reasons! And I don �t have MY English cabinet / laboratory - That �s one reason I envy those who have such a treasure!
Hugs,
Gabitza |

Gabiiii....don �t envy all the teachers who have a laboratory...I have one and it �s awful!!! I have to watch the students all the time....they tend to damage things and they tend to "take" things home (keys from the keyboards, earphones and so on) It is a good thing if you teach in a good school!!! ( I guess- never been there!!) My classes are about 20-25 students, but the real number of students attending the classes are about 10. In the 13th grade I have 5 students who attend school. The rest of them are working.But they will come in May to have the exam. So.....low salary + hard work = state school !! |
