Job Myth
Teachers just walk in, deliver the lesson and walk out. Easy Peasy.The Myth
While having a good knowledge base and understanding of the subject makes teaching a class easier, one can never get enough preparation. Teachers are required to attend classes early, be prepared for their classes, both mentally and with the adequate amount of material preparation. They are required to mark homework outside of class time as class time is short and supposed to engage the class with learning. Teachers are required to have a good assessment of their students and cater for each students specific needs in order for the class to move together as a team. The primary focus of our institute is Islamic education to the best of ones abilities, over four all teachers are required to fulfil those objectives.
