I was responsible for creating and implementing lesson plans that focused on English and social studies. As a teacher I assessed the learning abilities of all my students. I organized and maintained progress records on each of my students. My classes ranged from 20-25 students. I collected and prepared resource materials to help my students learn new concepts. After we completed a unit I created exams to assess learning; reports were also given to parents. I monitored safety of my students at all times.
