Trivia

What is your motivation for becoming a teacher?:

I wish to be a teacher, in order to have an occupation for my alternate account. Due to my previous experience as a teacher, I have the urge to return as one. The motivation is quite simple, and direct. However, with this, it'll provide me with a sense of responsibility, as I will be taking up such an important role on the server. As for my character's motivation, she wishes to teach, as she is very knowledgeable of the subject she is wanting to teach; additionally, she enjoys passing her knowledge on to people, helping them improve and become better.

Do you have any experience in Roleplaying?:
I have a lot of experience in RP, I have been quite a few roles on the server, as you can tell from my application section of this application. I have been a teacher before, so I am aware of how things work, roughly. This will be a great help when it comes to regular class room activities. I have been a police officer several times, so I have a great understanding of rules, and general RP.

Have you read the Faculty Handbook?: I have indeed.

What are the classroom logs and why is it important?:
This is to help see if a teacher is inactive, and fulfilling their role correctly. It keeps the activity of the teacher, what they did in lessons, and how often they teach lessons noted; so that it can further help decide whether they are suited for a higher subject role (From NQT to QTLS) for example. Or if the teacher isn't doing enough and needs demoting.

You want to start a school field trip; how do you do that?:
It is a rather simple process that happens over a short period of time. I would arrange a meeting with the Vice-Principle/Senior-Vice-Principle/Principle. Upon attending the meeting with them, I would provide them with the general details of the school field trip. Such as: Who will be attending, which staff will be assisting, the reason for the field trip and lastly, where the trip will be held. Upon all of this being dealt with, there is a period of waiting time, for the approval to go on such a trip. If accepted, then you may proceed to go on the trip.

As a teacher, what are the strict rules when being in a class?:

1) Do not have your phone out in class, doing so will cause it to be confiscated - unless needed for an emergency.
2) Eating and drinking in class is forbidden, unless it is water.
3) Students can only speak if granted the permission by the teacher.
4) Insulting or mocking the Teacher/or any students will cause serious punishments.
5) All students must be seated at all times, unless told otherwise by the teacher.
6) All classwork shall be done with effort and attention to presentation.
7) Homework shall be handed in on time.
8) The use of common sense, and general courtesy shall be required in the class room at all times.
9) Students must not possess 18+ items within school.
10) The classroom shall be suited for teaching purposes.


Summarize your previous RP experience's (both in general and on SchoolRP):

My RP experience has always been on SchoolRP, I am unaware of many other RP servers. But on SchoolRP, my experience is quite lengthy. I have RP'd as many roles on the server, starting as a teaching assistant back in 2017. I would often assist in classes, learning the general purpose of teachers, and how they operate in school. This would help me in my own days of being a teacher, as when I returned around Christmas time, I applied for English teacher and made the cut. As a teacher, you will more than likely experience rule breaking within the class room- with this, you just have to be patient and not let it get under your skin. The same goes for when you are a police officer. I have dealt with a lot of rule breaking. If it is disturbing general RP, let staff deal with it.

Being a police officer requires a lot of activity, and dedication. I have been an officer for the majority of my time being on this server, and has made me improve on a lot of my RP skills.

In a whole, I am aware of how the server operates, with an understanding of rules and general RP.


Describe the ranking system of teachers:

- HD:
Head of department, you are the current lead for the subject. You are in charge of how the subject shall run, what should be taught, who shall teach the subject, etc. Any events to do with the subject, they should first consult the Head of Department.

- QTLS:
QTLS stands for Qualified Teacher learning and skills, this rank of teacher has a clear understanding of how the subject area operates, and how the school itself operates.They have a proven their abilities to teach, and that they know everything they need to know.

- NQT:
NQT is a newly qualified teacher, which means they are new to teaching (more than likely). They should consult the Head of Department on lessons they have taught, and if any problems have taken place with in their lessons. At certain points in time, they will be supervised by the Head of Department, during lessons.


Teacher Knowledge

Present to us your knowledge about Teachers in-game and out-of-game, what purpose do teachers serve. What salary do they get? Include a paragraph about the way teachers teach, what they do in their spare time in general.

In game, teachers are required to teach regular classes, with planned out lessons. They are not to just "roll with it" - lesson planning is an absolute requirement. Additionally, teachers must set regular home work in order to have students prove their knowledge of certain skills. Homework can often help the teacher assess which skills the student needs to be taught. This is similar to the way teachers really work out-of-game. Teachers are intended to help and well, teach students on how to utilise certain skills, preparing them for the future. It is often that teachers will host after class revision sessions for those who want to attend, or have fallen behind in class. At times, teachers will assess the progression of students through tests/assessments. If needs be, teachers, are there to assist the students with any problems they may face while attending school. For example, bullying between groups of students, or individual students. In a teachers spare time, they would dedicate themselves to preparing their next lesson, or marking assessments/tests or general school work from their lessons. The Teacher's pay in game- from what I've seen is 250000 Yen/Year. In comparison, the average pay for a Japanese English teacher (out of game) is an average of: 250,000 yen/Month.

Why are teachers important to a SchoolRP server?:
As the name of the server suggests, the main focus is on School Roleplay. So due to the focus of it being a school Roleplay, teachers are required for there to be an actively, working school environment- this is to provide a sense of realism, and a way to improve immersion. Without teachers, the school would not be a working environment, and will serve no real purpose.

What lesson planning system does the school work on?:
The lesson planning system works on the must have, should have, could have system.


Character Knowledge

Tell us everything you know about the character you will be playing in a few paragraphs. How does he/she look like? What makes him/her unique and different? What is his/her outlook on Students? What about the other teachers? What is his/her personality like? What is his/her plan for the future?

The character I will be playing as, Freya Bennett, she is a female standing at 5'8", with long blonde hair. Her hair would be accompanied by light blue eyes. She'd be at the weight 136lbs. She'd have somewhat of a straight body shape, however, she'd have a little bit of curve to her body.

She is a very kind, and caring woman who will only raise her voice if it is really needed. She tends to have a strong, positive outlook on both her co-workers and students - she's always trying to understand the person if they've ever messed up and is quite forgiving, at a price.

Freya is a very hard working female who dedicates herself to a role she has been given. She's passionate about work, and working towards her own goals.

She wishes to become a teacher for the mean time, as she's always loved to help people with their issues, and help them learn to become better and stronger people.



Scenarios

You find a gang of delinquents in the hallway cursing and swearing, what do you do?:
At first, I would kindly ask the group to stop using such inappropriate language, telling them that it may hinder their ability to obtain a job with lack of common courtesy, and control of foul language. If they fail to comply with such warnings, then they will be issued a detention, stating a room, time and reason. If they fail to attend then further action will be taken.

No one in your class is listening to a word you say, what do you do?:
At first, I would do an action that could possibly gain the attention of the students. However, if this fails then I shall let them know that if they fail to pay attention and be quiet they they will have to remain seated after the lesson to make up for the lost lesson time.

When in the teacher's lounge, how does your character act?:
Freya tends to try and keep herself occupied, so she would perhaps sit down and start planning lessons or marking work from the previous lessons. However, she will at times relax and have a friendly conversation with her co-workers. She is calm and collected when she is int he teacher's lounge.

Provide at least 5 detailed /me's of your character inside a classroom:

/me She'd take a bit of chalk, and begins writing the date, and title of the lesson. This would be followed by her name.
/me She'd stand up, tucking her chair in. She would then walk down each row of desks, handing out a test for every student.
/me She'd clap her hands, in order to try and gather everyone's attention.
/me She'd collect each paper from the students, and neatly places them on her desk ready for marking.
/me She would begin typing on the computer, making notes of the lesson - for the logs.



Backstory

Freya was a very smart child who was born and raised in the United Kingdom. From when she was a child, she would have the occasional holiday to Japan due to their family owning a holiday home there. Every time she went to Japan she fell more and more in love with it's wonderful and unique culture. This inspired her to move to Japan in her later days, but we'll get to that soon. While in school, she was very keen on writing large stories often them childish fairy-tale stories. They were filled with many, many twists and turns but always seems to end happily. This reflects on herself now, as she is always smiling no matter what - however, at times she's very serious. But this wasn't her only interest. She has always been interested by medicine, and medical stuff. She took up two full time courses at college, studying medicine and further English. Her experience at college was one of them things you'll never forget. She was a very social person at college, always trying to make friends with new people. Following this, she took up a weekend job, at the local store in order to build up some money. As soon as she finished college, she had quite a bit of money behind her; but it wasn't enough. So, for the next few years she took up a full time job. She worked as a nurse for the local hospital, looking after the sick people still with that great smile upon her face.

After some time, she finally had enough to move to Japan, she had heard of a place called "Karakura" and she decided that's where she shall live. She started packing her things, and got onto the earliest plane she could get - saying bye to her family before doing so. Here's where her first job began. She became the Head-Nurse for the local school, and served there for quite a long time. However, due to her falling pregnant, she had to take a large amount of time off. One thing after another though, things started to go down hill for Freya, as her ex-husband, Ricco had left her. She became very ill after having her first child, and left her position as Head-Nurse from the local school. Quite some time passed, and her child is all grown up and Freya has fully recovered. She believed it was time to take up another job. So she was searching for her next job. She noticed that there was positions for an English teacher at the local school and thought that would suit her, for her passion and vast knowledge of the English language. She applied for the job, with high hopes of acceptance.
