    Middle School Teachers

    Middle school teachers typically specialize in teaching a specific subject such as biology, mathematics or history. Middle school falls between elementary and high school. Middle school teachers provide a more in-depth education in subjects introduced in elementary school.

    Some teachers participate in making decisions regarding textbooks, the budget, teaching methods and curriculum design. They typically teach rotating classes and thus spend less time with each student than elementary school teachers.

    Responsibilities

    Create lesson plans
    Prepare students for national and state tests and assessments
    Choose instructional materials and resources
    Motivate students to learn
    Grade homework
    Design tests
    Monitor student behavior
    Provide exposure to potential careers
    Provide assistance to individuals and groups
    Adapt lessons to different levels of learning ability within a group

    I am a middle school teacher and much of what you say is true. You do spend less time with each student than elementary teachers do, but I think the student's get a higher level of quality education when someone has specialized in the subject matter.

    But Middle school Teacher Responsibilities are able to assess students on the basis of performance, not on the students' personal qualities.

    I agree with that statement Johnathon. For instance, I would feel pretty unqualified teaching middle school Math, but I don't have any problems when it comes to teaching the younger set. There is less individualized attention, but it sets the tone for how their high school and college educations will be presented.

    How was it? What can I expect? I've been asked to come and do a demonstration lesson at a school where I applied to become a middle school math teacher. Anything I can do in order to be prepared and win their favor?
