Education in Singapore pays more attention to cultivate the student's comprehensive quality such as confidence and independence. More and more parents want to have a training of school knowledge for their children when they are at the age of 3. Not over that, education is not just from the parents but also from schools. Schools in Singapore are famous all over the world but a good school need to have the appropriate teachers. Teacher is a role for the students so when you are a new teacher, you need to know things you should do for the first day.
Although schools in Singapore are multitudinous, the most basic work is to know the regulation and policies of the school you work for. Each school and school district will have their own regulations and policies that you need to know. Especially, you are able to highlight the point of things like attendance policies and discipline. Furthermore, all of us will get sick so you need to make sure to understand how to go about requesting a day off in case if illness.
If you want to get close to your students in the future, you are required to familiarize yourself with the school. And how can you do that? The answer is to learn the layout of the school. Go around the school and find where the closest student dormitory is to your room. Locate the student canteen and the media center so it will help you feel more comfortable on campus and it is convenient for new students have questions to ask you for help.
Moreover, schools in Singapore attach importance to teachers' education and as the teacher can not leave the team because you can consult other teachers when something you do not know. So, it is vital to meet and begin to make friends with your coworkers as well as build relationships with key people around school, for example, the person in charge of teacher absences,the activity of equipment management and your janitor.
You come to realize your own ability after handling some external problems so make sure you have all materials ready for the first day. A good teacher should not only have a lot of knowledge but should be more careful. In order to have well prepared, you should have a plan in detail. Make detailed lesson plans including directions for yourself on what to do throughout each class period. When you step into the classroom, make sure you bring all items, such as books, students register.
Last but not least, it is essential to have a good first impression so you need to have a smile on your face and the warmly greet students as they enter your class for the first time. What's more, try to learn the names of a few students and don't be nervous as far as possible.
Schools in Singapore maybe not only require the new teacher to obey the above points and also ask them to get the classroom early and organize the teacher room and so on. In my opinion, the vital and most essential thing for a new teacher is having confidence and self-discipline.
