To accomplish their primary goal of instructing students and measuring their academic progress, Primary Teachers perform several tasks. We reviewed several job listings and found the following among the core Primary Teacher duties and responsibilities.
Instruct Students The main responsibility of a Primary Teacher is to provide instruction in math, English, social studies and other subjects in the classroom. Following federal and state standards for specific subject areas, Primary Teachers create lesson plans for classroom and homework assignments. Primary Teachers must take various learning styles and abilities into account when developing these plans and modify as needed. Primary Teachers must review and grade assignments and tests and log these grades for each students. This responsibility would include integrating educational technology as needed.
Assess Student Performance It is up to the Primary Teacher to evaluate each student’s performance and academic growth. They must track quality of work, class participation, completion of assignments and understanding of the material being covered in each subject. They must ensure that students are meeting the grade requirements as set by their state board of education.
Manage Discipline in the Classroom Primary Teachers must ensure a safe and effective learning environment for all students. They must address any unruly or disruptive behaviors from students and take disciplinary action when needed.
