Middle School Teacher Jobs in Franklin, TN

A Middle School Teacher is an integral part of the elementary education industry, contributing to the academic and social development of students in grades 6-8. They design and deliver lesson plans, assess student performance, maintain classroom discipline, and communicate with parents about student progress. Besides teaching core subjects like English, Math, Science, and Social Studies, middle school teachers often help students navigate the challenges of adolescence. They are responsible for creating a positive learning environment and implementing various teaching methods to cater to different learning styles and abilities.

Important skills for a Middle School Teacher include strong communication and organizational skills, patience, creativity, and a passion for teaching. They should also have a strong understanding of child psychology and development. In terms of certification, all states require public middle school teachers to have at least a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education or a related field, and to have completed a student-teaching program. Additionally, they must pass a teacher certification test. Prior to becoming a Middle School Teacher, a person may have roles such as a Teaching Assistant, Tutor, or even an Elementary School Teacher. These positions provide valuable experience in managing a classroom and developing effective teaching strategies.
