Most teachers get into education thinking it can be a really secure job, right? Depends. Teachers have to follow rules, too. And these ten actions can get you fired faster than you think.
These actions are:
1. Lie on Your Application or Resume- most states have teacher credentials/qualifications.
2. Job Hunt at Work- while at work, focus on your students.
3. Gossip- Don't gossip about a student's abilities or another teacher's skills.
4. Taking Too Many Personal Calls- return calls before or after school hours, unless an emergency.
5. Surf the Web Excessively- use computers for lesson plans,recording grades,searching learning web sites
6. Alienate Your Coworkers- Teaching is a team sport. Don't be difficult with faculty members.
7. Forget to Double Check Grades- grades are serious business, they are recorded evidence of graded work
8. Mixing Personal and Professional Life- be friendly with parents,but not too extremely social.
9. Unbecoming Behavior- States have Professional Code of Ethics for Teachers; find out what they are.
10. Too Many Missed Days of Work- if you are sick, make sure you get a Drs. note.
