From 26 to 22 points. You are doing a good job, and yet something is not right with you. Maybe your professional opportunities more than what you do, and you need a small but noticeable success in order to improve your well-being. Perhaps your dissatisfaction is a consequence of personal problems or it is simply the inability to communicate with colleagues. Think about it, maybe it’s worth adjusting principles that are small at first glance, but important to you, in order to enjoy your work.

Less than 22 points. You are a martyr at work without interest and the opportunity to realize yourself. The reasons may be different, but if you have not lost faith in yourself, it is better to leave.

Well, we want you to enjoy your work just like this guy with a tambourine-)

Do you often talk with students during the lesson on abstract topics?

Answer the question

Imagine the situation: you woke up, on the nose public lesson. What motivates you to get up on this day?

“You are very collected and disciplined, you know whom to ask, what to ask, with whom to have a conversation, with whom to sympathize. At the same time, you are strict and fair. Everything new is always outlined. You have long earned authority and maintain it at the proper level. Children receive from you only accurate knowledge, parents are delighted with your strict and even relationship with them. You pay as much attention to preparing for meetings as you do to lessons. Your motto is objectivity, accuracy, responsibility.”

Answer the question

How similar are you to the teacher description below?

“Daily preparation for lessons seems like a real punishment to you, and the realization that tomorrow there are 5 lessons terrifies you. You are afraid to seem boring and uninteresting to children. Difficulties arise with who to ask, you are at a loss what to ask. In the morning, you are overcome by the feeling that someone can come to the lesson with a check, and your lesson will turn out to be damp and mundane.”

Answer the question

What do you feel at the end working week?

“Each class for you - separate country. For its prosperity, you make all the necessary efforts: compose the author's educational program, tests, terminological dictations, as well as invent educational games and introduce new visual aids. Often demonstrate presentations for lessons, make every effort to properly motivate students to their subject. Even those who do not want to learn appreciate and respect you.”

Answer the question

If the teachers’ council is looking for a teacher who could organize some kind of event, then I ...

Answer the question

Is your style of working with students similar to the one described below?

“Pupils constantly complain about the large volume homework. You constantly prove the hackneyed truth that God knows on "5", you know on "4", and students should rejoice at "3". At the same time, all parents strive to send their children to your class, since the knowledge of the children is good, the discipline is at the level, and the children in general become more purposeful.”

Answer the question

Do you resemble the teacher described below?

“During the lessons there is a certain obsession with the staging of one's speech, its intonation, as well as the refinement of gestures and postures. You know how to support the guys, but only with a word. The methodical support of the subject does not really bother you, grading is sometimes missed, and the explanation of the material is just an excuse to talk and not stand still.”

You are looking for your place in the sun. Pedagogy is one of the steps, move on!

You seem to be tired, or else you dream of "getting off the ship." A lot of things are hard for you. Try to relax and calmly perform daily tasks in a way that does not burden you. Preparing for the lessons can be interesting and not burdensome, you just need to find your own way. Also, perhaps you should pay attention to another type of activity, it's not too late to change everything. The main thing is to find something that would be to your liking and would not cause significant emotional stress, and subsequently health problems on a nervous basis.

And what will be the result of your friends and colleagues?

You are a teacher-creator, “Michelangelo of Pedagogy”!

Being a teacher is your destiny! You take into account the characteristics of all students, you know how to rearrange the course of the lesson in time, if you see that children do not perceive educational material. Respect the opinion and wishes of the child. In your work, you are like an artist creating great canvases or a talented conductor leading a well-coordinated orchestra. Your only problem is that the student quickly gets used to your tolerant attitude. However, the students love you very much. You are dedicated to work, responsible, purposeful. But sometimes you are afraid of difficulties. Do not be afraid to try something new, because the smiles and bright future of your pupils are in your hands. You are moving in the right direction. Just a little more and you will become a real maestro in your business!
