You belong working for Machabeng College!
As a drama teacher, you will be responsible for guiding school students through some of the most important stages of their education, including their IGCSEs and A-levels.
The majority of your time will be spent preparing lesson plans and teaching pupils in accordance with the IGCSE and IBDP curriculum. However, teaching drama will give you license to use creative, interactive and engaging teaching methods, such as games, role-play, storytelling, hot seating and tableaux.
A drama teacher’s role, however, isn’t just about playing games and directing end-of-term plays. Drama courses do also involve written work to build literacy and English proficiency. Indeed, you’ll also be responsible for marking students’ work and providing them with the necessary feedback, criticism, encouragement and support.
You’ll also be responsible for helping students prepare for crucial examinations and directing final performances, which will be watched and assessed by an external moderator. You may also get the opportunity to take part in events and projects outside of the classroom, such as taking pupils on theatre trips.
Teaching, however, is not all about working with young students. Frequently, you will have to attend meetings with other teaching staff, undertake in-service training and meet with pupils’ parents to discuss their progress at parents’ evenings.
On a pastoral support level, you may be required to provide counselling and guidance to students who are facing learning difficulties. This may involve referring students to other relevant authorities and professionals who may be able to help them.
Drama teachers also need to keep their skills fresh. Consequently, you’ll be required to keep up-to-date on new teaching methods and developments in the curriculum.
