Teacher

Teachers help children and young people learn different subjects such as maths, English, science, and history. They work in primary schools, secondary schools, and sometimes in special schools. A teacher plans lessons, explains new ideas, helps pupils with their work, and marks their homework or tests. They also look after the children in their class, making sure everyone is safe and happy. Teachers can be very important in helping children grow, learn new things, and become confident. To become a teacher in the UK, you usually need a degree and special training called a PGCE.
