From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A
teacher
is a person who helps people to
learn
. A teacher often works in a classroom.
There are many different kinds of teachers. Some teachers teach young
children
in
kindergarten
or
primary schools
. Others teach older children in
middle
, junior high and
high schools
. Some teachers teach adults in colleges and universities. Some teachers are called
professors
.
Teachers are usually professionals. They have been to college and got qualifications. They use various methods to teach. Teachers explain new
knowledge
, write on a
blackboard
or
whiteboard
, sit behind their
desks
on
chairs
, help students with their work and mark students' work. They may also use a
computer
to write tests, assignments or
report cards
for the class.
Teachers are not always professionals. Parents usually do a lot of teaching before children ever get to school.
