What are your current roles on the server?:
As of the 4th of July, I have two main characters. One being my college student character on my main account (DimiIA), bachelor's degree. And the other (Ecogenical) being an adult.
Why are Teachers so important to SchoolRP?:
SchoolRP, regardless of the many factions and possibilities available on the server, remains a school-focused server. Even if activity dies down for a while, the school factions always find a way to become the most prominent and relevant faction yet again. With that being said, the first role assigned to any player when first joining the server is "7th grade," a student. Most of any player's first few months of learning their way around the server are spent as a student; most of their first interactions and newly made friends are within the school building. A teacher, in SchoolRP, acts as a guidance figure to most of the students that are still learning the ropes and extending their roleplay experience, slowly becoming a full-fledged SchoolRP player fit to take on other roles, ones that require responsibility and a much better handle on roleplay than most of the new players walk in with. A teacher shows the students what it's like to roleplay properly, providing a good figure to learn from and see how roleplay works, how DetailRP is important and fun, how to properly get into character, and knowing how to think like your character to make it more realistic. New players watching a teacher in their element, staying in character the whole time and giving the role their all, is something inspiring. It's a tough journey, seeing as how most new players still aren't in the mindset of properly roleplaying for fun and even end up falling into rule-breaking. So I think it's a teacher's job to gently guide these newcomers to the rulebook, to teach them whatever needs to be taught OOCly, all while still performing their duty ICly. I remember my first few days on the server, 8 years ago. And I remember how big of a role one specific teacher played in my path as he inspired a lot of my roleplay scenarios and ideas at the time. I feel like every new player deserves that kind of experience because in their first few weeks/months of playing SchoolRP, it's easy to not know what to do or where to go or how to roleplay and end up giving up. That can easily be prevented with the right intervention from teachers. As hopeful and optimistic as that sounds, I feel like it's the right mindset to go into the role with.
Do you acknowledge that if you are inactive you may lose your role?: Yes
Do you agree to undergo teacher training if your application is successful?: Yes
What is your motivation for becoming a Teacher?:
As mentioned previously, this is a role that's really important to SchoolRP. It's a role I've already had the privilege of doing, back in the old school building when school and college weren't merged. Contrary to college professors, teachers have to deal with less experienced players, meaning they need a certain patience and real love for the roleplay and for helping people to end up succeeding and enjoying it. I think I'm a person whose values align with that. A player's initial experience on the server can make or break their story with SchoolRP, and a simple extra effort from us teachers can affect that positively. I want to give these players the experience I once got as a new player, as a mere student whose English was bad, who knew nothing about roleplay, who didn't even know what IC and OOC mean, who FailRP'd left and right, and who still was met with patience and guidance instead of reports and intolerance. I'm saying rule-breaking should be tolerated, but it's definitely to be expected from people who still haven't found their footing when it comes to the SchoolRP server. I want to be the teacher that stays after class if needed to give the students the attention they need. I want to be the teacher that gives each assignment the proper attention out of love for the subject as well as to build proper feedback for the students. I want to be the teacher that gently directs new players to /rules & /faq instead of reporting them instantly. If rule-breaking proceeds, of course I'd have to resort to a report. But all in all, I want to be the teacher that encourages shy students to participate, giving them a chance even if they don't raise their hand. I want to be a teacher so I can put my consistency to work; After all, not every class will be full, not every student will be interested or serious about improving, and not every new player will be someone who stays around. With these factors in mind, I still need to perform my duties to the best of my ability and stay consistent with the classes and give each class the same amount of attention.
In-Character Section
What's your character's full name?: Renard Sauvage Ripper
What is your character's age?: 65
What is your preferred subject to teach?: Math
Describe your character:
Renard is 65 years old. An old man, with a snow-white beard to cover his face, and a matching hairstyle hidden in his signature fedora. His hair was tucked into a ponytail, hanging from the back of his fedora. His grey piercing eyes, always on the lookout. A look of curiosity as he looked around while people spoke, believing that every person had an interesting story of their own to tell. A tight grip, he kept around his cane with his right hand, while his left one was usually behind his back. Renard spoke with a strong French accent, and a rather articulate eloquence. He was wise, and his speech reflected that. A lingering cigar scent radiated from him. He gave off a grandfatherly aura, as if you could tell him anything, and in return, he'd give you the best advice he has.
Roleplay Scenarios
A student in class is struggling to understand the content. What would your character do?:
I would slowly cover it again for the whole class and give the specific student more attention as I explain the content better and in an easier, more understandable manner. If the student still cannot grasp it, I would circle back to them after class, giving them my whole time and slowly covering the part of the lesson the student is struggling with.
A student is continuously being disruptive in class, talking out of turn, and making jokes with classmates. What would your character do?
I would first try a different approach by trying to involve them in the lesson, having them participate in the lesson. If that fails to work, I'd warn them verbally, and instruct them to pay attention and stop disrupting the class. If the disruption persists even after that, I would have to give them a detention slip and kick them out of the class; I'm a very easygoing person, but I would also like my class to be respected.
Provide at least 2 interactive class ideas related to your preferred subject:
I actually have quite a few. Some are simple, like having the first student to answer the question I ask win some sort of reward. Another one is to split the class into two teams and play math like a trivia game. Another simple idea would be a mental math chain; many operations will be said out loud by the teacher, and the first to calculate the last result correctly wins. Tapping into the students' competitiveness can be quite beneficial for their learning. Another one I would like to try is one I'd call "Last Student Standing." All students stand, and each student is asked increasingly difficult questions, and whoever gets a question wrong has to sit down. The last standing student wins.
On a larger scale, however, and still in the theme of making math into a game. I would love to try and play Math in a Jeopardy style game. 100 point questions, as well as 200 point ones for each category. Categories will be algebra, geometry, fractions, logic, and percentages. This one would require a little more preparation and a whole class session in itself. It'll be just like the 2 teams' game, except this one will have several 3- or 2-person teams. The team with the most points wins.
Another larger-scale one would be one with a math equation, but the components of the equation need to be found through answering a series of questions found around the classroom. The first to complete the equation and answer it wins!
