Unit 7 Topic “The Profession of a Teacher” ∙ Warm-up Task: Choosing a career is the most important thing in life. Now you are students of the Teaching Training College you have to think about your future profession a lot. Think it over and answer some Teacher Interview Questions. 1. Why do you want to work at this school? 2. What personality traits do teachers need to be successful? 3. If you could only teach one subject to your students, what would it be and why? 4. Do you have good public speaking skills? 5. What would you like to be? Why? 6. What do you expect from your future job? 7. What is the main problem in choosing a profession? ∙ Read the text to find out what teaching looks like. The Profession of a Teacher Finishing school is the beginning of the independent life for millions of school leavers. Many roads are opened before them: vocational and technical schools, institutes and universities. But it is not an easy thing to choose a profession out of more than 2,000 existing in the world. Some pupils do this still at the industrial training centres, some follow the advice of their parents, others can't decide even after leaving school. As for me I made my choice long ago. I want to become a teacher of primary school. Frankly speaking I’m always interested in working with children. My choice of namely this occupation didn’t come as a sudden flash. My parents are also teachers and I know that teaching is a very specific and difficult job. It shouldn’t be taken easy. The teacher is a person who is learning as well as teaching all his life. Most jobs can be done within the usual office hours of 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., but teacher’s work is never done and evenings are mostly spent marking exercise-books and preparing for the next lesson. I know it’s very difficult to become a good teacher. You should know perfectly the subject you teach, you must be well-educated and well-informed. An ignorant teacher teaches ignorance, a fearful teacher teaches fear, and a bored teacher teaches boredom. But a good teacher develops in his pupils the burning desire to know and love for the truth and beauty. As John Steinbeck once said, a great teacher is a great artist and you know how few great artists can be found in the world. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts. It’s a great responsibility to bring up children. I think that’s the reason why teachers are deeply respected. Teachers do not only teach their subjects. They bring up the younger generation in the spirit of high moral ideals. They develop their pupils’ intellect; form their views and characters, their attitude to life and to other people. It’s not easy as it may seem at first. But I think that love for children combined with the knowledge I’ll get at the Teachers’ Training College would be quite enough to succeed in my work.

Teacher Training in Russia There are following requirements to the system of teacher training: to provide higher education for all the teachers employed in preprimary and general educational institutions; to create conditions for their further professional growth through advanced training; to attract talented specialists to the educational system; and to ensure adequate conditions for the work of specialist with advanced degrees in institutions of higher learning. A certified teacher can teach in pre-schools, primary or secondary education in schools, colleges, universities or institutions. Russian schools have two levels when it comes to training of teachers: non-university level higher education; university level higher education. Pre-school, Primary School and Lower Secondary School teachers are primarily trained at the non-university level, and teachers for lower-secondary and upper-secondary schools are trained at the university level. Non-university level educational institutions, such as Teachers’ Training Colleges prepare teachers for pre-primary and primary schools. The course lasts for two to four-and-a-half years. University level education institutions train teachers for primary and secondary schools. The duration of the course is five years. Training of Secondary School Teachers is carried out in teachers’ training university-level institutions. The duration of the program is five years. Professional teacher training at the non-university level takes place at colleges. These institutions mainly train teachers for pre-schools and primary schools and lasts for about 4 years. Students entering after year 11 follow a basic 3-year program, while students entering after year 9 follow a 4-year program. It is also possible to qualify as a lower secondary teacher, which is for years 5 to 9 classes. Teacher training institutes and universities train teachers for the lower (years 5-9) and upper secondary levels (years 10-11). A Specialist degree is needed to teach at upper secondary level. Students who have obtained a Bachelor’s degree may continue their studies on a Specialist program that lasts one year or Master’s program that lasts for 2 years. Teacher training curriculum is divided into: foundation studies/core course within the arts, social sciences and natural sciences; subject specialization; studies in biology and medicine; studies in education and psychology; introduction to the teaching profession, i.e. in-service teacher training.
