As above. Anyone has any prior exp as a relief teacher? Not those ad hoc ones where u juz stroll into a class and tok cock sing song. I mean as a proper relief teacher with no prior exp, how does one actually fulfil his role/obligation? Juz give out worksheets and relac one corner? Any tips, anyone?

Then, you go to the school and teach.

Thx for your info and help. But wad i actually meant is what does a relief teacher actually do during lessons? Does he/she just disemminate worksheets and qiao jiao 1 corner or does he/she need to fulfil the responsibility of a full-time teacher, just like a direct replacement of the original teacher.

Adrenaline

This mostly depends on what subject you are replacing and if there are any notes left from the absent subject teacher forwarded to the relieve teacher. The notes usually contain what the absent teacher aims to cover at the end of the lesson.

Some relieve teachers just go in and give students free periods? Or others just chit-chat with students. Depends on the level of commitment.

When everything suggested by the ppl above have failed, just sit down at the teacher's table and ignore the class. Also promise early recess if the class finishes their work.

pri sch students nowadays really can make me vomit blood sometimes, taught twice as a relief teacher. all i can say is that i wont want to go back again.. abit scary

agreed to what Adrenaline said.

actually, it really depends on if the teacher you are going to cover his/her lesson for a class, has left any notes to teach the students, or worksheets to do...mostly, a relief teacher is requried to teach, as relief teachers is acutally a teacher, and the purpose of having one is to allow students to carry on with their lesson (without delay) even though their original teacher is not available to teach them.

most time, depending on the duration that the relief teacher need to cover the lessons from textbooks or additional notes (cover lesson for a period of time)...to just giving and collecting worksheets (cover lesson for a day or two).

some time, if materials or instructions is not given by the teacher, relief teacher mostly go into the class and babysit the students only...that's all..but in this case, to what i had learnt from other relief teachers, is really kind of rare.

commitment...the basic commitment is at least you must know how to teach (provided you are required to teach for that lesson), or at least, learnt that subject (you are covering) before...as for preparing materials..some time, for covering short lessons, relief teachers are called only in the morning to come school to relief classes (due to the school will only knows that their teachers are unable to attend school in the morning). in that case, it is almost, or not possible to prepare your own materials to teach the subject you are covering...so just cover those materials is given, or just babysit the class.

although "babysitting" a class is considered the most relax job as being relief teacher, but in actual, is considered the hardest...as during babysitting, the main thing is to keep the noise level as low as possible (which is quite impossible), and trying to keep students going out of the classroom. most important, keep students from attracting attention from people passing-by the classroom...cos is the D.M passing-by...god bless

all are my 1cent view...btw, never been a relief teacher before, all the info are through talking to friends (who had experiences in relief teaching), as well as being a teacher aide

shakakuzougeiro

guess if ur talking about secondary school students...u have to be quite interactive and don't crack cold jokes with them
