High School Teacher

A High School Teacher teaches students at a secondary school. You’ll usually focus on particular subject areas and may teach across a range of year levels. High School Teachers prepare lessons and learning materials and mark assessments and other student work. You might organise and supervise student activities and provide feedback on student performance.

High School Teachers should have excellent interpersonal skills and enjoy working with teenagers. It’s important you can communicate well and liaise with students, parents and colleagues. High School Teachers must be organised and able to manage their time well. You’ll need to be flexible and able to understand students’ individual circumstances.
