The profession of an economics teacher is interesting and exciting if you are able to correctly understand the basics of this discipline. To become a real professional in your field and receive impressive sums for this, you need to know your lesson for five plus and completely surrender to such work. Today we will tell you about the pitfalls that a teacher of economics encounters.
The specifics of the profession
Conducting a conversation with many professional teachers of economics, we first of all asked them about the specifics of their work.
Almost everyone, without exception, noted that a teacher of economic disciplines should always be aware of the events taking place in the world. He is obliged to convey to students only reliable and timely information that will definitely be useful to him. For example, a teacher always gets up in the morning and looks at what is happening with the foreign exchange market, reviews all the news, and so on.
It is also important to be able to find the right approach that suits a particular person. The ability to influence masses of people will also not be superfluous, because you will have to work with many students all the time.
Job responsibilities
The duties of an economics teacher are as follows:
teaching students taking into account their psychological, physical and other characteristics;
link theoretical activity with practical;
maintain feedback with the parents of students;
carry out self-educational activities (courses, trainings), transfer their teaching experience;
prepare students for the unified state exam;
implement all work programs and training plans;
ensure the safety of life and health during the learning process;
store their didactic materials and student materials (notebooks, finished works in any other form) in an appropriate manner;
develop the correct work program for each lesson;
monitor the activities and progress of students.
Personal qualities
An economics teacher must certainly have the following qualities:
ability to work with the audience, since this is the basis of pedagogy;
stress resistance and high moral stress that will surely come your way;
a responsibility also plays a key role in admission to any working profession;
optimism, which you will have to share with your students, so that your subject is easy for them, - then they will be grateful to you;
sociability, that is, the ability to establish correct communication with any person, regardless of his age and other qualities.
Education
If we start talking about training as a teacher of economic disciplines, then the first thing that can be singled out is in any case, do not postpone your desire to study in a distant box... For example, you may find the moment inappropriate, there is not enough money for training, and so on, but these are all just excuses. Having a desire, you need to realize your ambitions.
Also, during training, you should constantly practice. Everyone knows that theory without practice will do nothing.
The science of teaching economics can be compared to sports: if you have never done push-ups, but only heard about it, then it is unlikely that you will push more than ten times.
In general, if you have a desire to learn, learn. As long as there is ambition, motivation, desire, then you should go straight to the goal, thereby you will become a real professional in your field.
