Why are Teachers so important to SchoolRP?:
Well now, it wouldn’t be a school without teachers or educators period. Sure, self-study works, but there wouldn’t be any source of adult supervision or guidance if there were no educators. Teachers help build a framework for students and help manage the campus when they aren’t teaching. They can help resolve fights, help new students find their way, and be the role models that would be needed for the students. A sort of “teacherless” school wouldn’t be able to function very well as there aren’t any adults in charge or any checks and balances to the entire system. Students would do whatever they want and that could cause an unsafe environment. Teachers can also be seen as protectors on these sorts of servers, keeping students safe warning them about protocols, and reminding them of rules set in place to keep them and others safe.

Do you acknowledge that if you are inactive you may lose your role?
Yes, I understand.

Do you agree to undergo teacher training if your application is successful?
Yes, I understand.

Describe your character:
(Thank you interest for the image) (@nixielar on Pinterest)
1730995286444.png
Dimitri Malevič is a blonde Russian male who stands 6'4 "(195 cm) tall. His left arm and part of his chest are covered in a tattoo sleeve. He keeps his hair neat, his brown eyes piercing through. He has a broader appearance, though he has lots of lean muscle, too. He dresses himself cleanly. A nice polo shirt, a clean pair of slacks, and appropriate footwear for the kitchen keeps his appearance tidy.

Malevič seemed to be of a more timid type. He wasn't as social as one may think, though he was fun to talk to once you got the chance. With his clean look, he kept order in his life, making sure to schedule and organize everything he had planned and be as punctual as possible. He hated tardiness or a disorganized mess. Though he seemed more timid and almost cold, Malevič's personality was usually positive. His form of speech came off as posh, though it was how he held separation in and out of the workplace.

Malevič stands out with a strong want and passion to teach his craft of culinary. He grew up surrounded by the smell of freshly baked goods and irresistible recipes curated by his mother. It was a tough job not to attempt to inherit, but he was lucky he had an eye for the culinary arts. He was gentle at heart, only wanting to share his art with others.

In all fairness, Malevič would like to open up a restaurant to share his cooking with the public, but that opportunity hasn’t arisen just yet. For now, he’ll remain as a teacher, teaching his students about the world of culinary and how much you can learn from food. I believe he’d try settling down eventually but now doesn’t seem appropriate.


What is your character's outlook on students and co-workers?:
Student POV: I believe his outlook on the students he teaches would be positive or neutral. He wouldn’t have any sort of negative connotation towards any student as he realizes they are all young and learning about what the consequences of their actions can be. They’re bound to make mistakes, say the wrong thing, etc. He’d know from experience, it’s what happens when you’re in high school! He’d always try to be as encouraging as he could.

"I think my students can learn. I believe with the right guidance, they can pick up the information I give them and use it wisely. I don't think my students are dense but rather open-minded. I would hope they'd listen to the instructions I give them, especially when it correlates to any safety or health codes we must follow in class. I understand their experiences and want to give them some grace."

Co-Worker POV: I believe he’d have similar thoughts just like his students. Nothing negative, majority neutral, and/or positive. He’s not one to make confrontations, so there are no prejudices there. He’d hold lots of respect for those there before him as he understands they know what they’re doing. To those new to the faction while there, he’d be welcoming and lend an ear should they need assistance in figuring everything out.

"I think all of my co-workers are intelligent and have a good understanding of the subjects they teach. They are all bright individuals, who share their knowledge with the youth. I have respect for them, I believe they have more experience in the field compared to me. Though I can't think low of myself, I can only learn and adjust based on the good things I see from my co-workers and feel inspired to translate into my classroom. I could only hope they'd see as much potential in me and my capabilities to educate our students as I see in them. I know I'd always be a helping hand however I could."

What is your character's motivation for teaching?:
OOCLY: My motivation for becoming a teacher is to explore new factions I have yet to explore. I’ve experienced a similar faction of Professors before, but I know Teachers have a whole new experience to them. I want to be able to expand my knowledge of the different factions and see how each one works. I believe being a teacher will bring me new roleplay opportunities and give me new experiences, interacting with new people. It will challenge me in a field I haven’t touched in a while, but with my IRL passion for teaching, I feel it would be a good start. I have some experience in the field, and I would like to share my knowledge (even as I am learning) with the rest of the community.

ICLY: "My motivation with teaching is to share my craft and teach the youth life-long skills they can use when they grow up. I understand that some students do not know how to cook for themselves. By being able to teach culinary skills, I hope to spark passion in students with cooking or help them learn basic skills to keep them healthy and eating well. Being able to teach students how to create well-balanced meals as well as sweet treats they can enjoy as a midnight snack is something that resonates with me."


Roleplay Scenarios

A student in class is struggling to understand the content, what would your character do?

As Dimitri Malevič would notice the student’s struggle in figuring out the different health codes, he’d wander over, tapping the table next to the student to quietly get their attention. “As I was walking around, I noticed you stuck on this problem. Is there something I can do to clarify the information?” He’d ask, his tone gentle and soft.

Once the issue was figured out, Malevič would walk through the process of identifying the differences and similarities in different health codes, taking a bit more time than usual to assist the student in need.

A student is continuously being disruptive in class, talking out of turn, and making jokes with classmates. What would your character do?
Dimitri Malevič would quietly stop his pause his demo for a moment, turning to the student who had been disrespectful in class. He’d set his hands on the counter of his workstation, looking the student in the eyes as he stated, “Have you finished your babbling? I don’t appreciate how disrespectful you’ve been in my class. I’m giving you a warning. Should I have to repeat myself, I won’t hesitate to kick you out of my class.” His tone was stern, though he held his composure.

Malevič would continue his lecture, only to be disrupted once more by the same student. He’d clear his throat, losing track of his demo explanation once more. “Second warning, ____. I hope you’re picking up the things I’m saying with how many comments you’re making. If you’re only here to act like a clown, you’re welcome to leave my class.”

Once more, he’d resume his demo, explaining the importance and difference of baking powder and baking soda to the rest of the class. But alas, the student hasn’t given up. Taking note of this, he’d finish his explanation quickly and set his items aside. Malevič would scan through his drawers as he brought up a piece of paper and pen, scribbling on it. He’d walk around the station, approaching the disruptive student, handing them the pass, “This is your third warning and your last. I am giving you this pass to leave my class as I simply cannot teach with you disrupting every sentence I utter. Gather your things and I’ll escort you out the door. If you choose to rejoin my class later on, I hope you will have learned to have a bit more respect while others are talking. You can laugh all you want at your jokes out in the hallway. Thank you for stopping by.”

Provide at least 2 interactive class ideas related to your preferred subject:
1. INTRO/BASICS OF COOKING: There should always be a sort of basic lesson embedded into any course taught! It helps inform students (hopefully if they come back) of the precautions they need to take as well as the basics of what it’s like to cook. Believe it or not, some people don’t know how to cook for themselves. Having a basic lesson on how to cook easy-making foods (like eggs, pancakes, etc.) is a useful life skill that students can take with them and help them survive. In these basic lessons, we’ll also cover safety protocols and health codes we should follow to protect the food and the consumers of the food from getting sick or hurt.

2. COOK OFF!: Every once in a while, I plan to have a cooking challenge of some sort for students to participate in. Maybe it’s a pasta cook-off, or a pizza cook-off, or something like that. It would be a meal everyone is informed on how to cook (if not, I’ll give a demo) and they’ll put their spin on it! There can be a prize of some sort as well. I understand some students can be competitive and enjoy rivalry, so this would be the perfect outlet for them to take out their rivalry… in a well-prepared and tasty meal. If students wanted, we could do it cooking show style (something like a master chef)!

3. TRADITIONAL FOODS: I believe cooking is a good way to experience different cultures around the world. Since there are all sorts of international students at Karakura High School, I think it’d be beneficial to cover different traditional foods per students’ requests. Learning about different cultures through food can be a wicked experience, but also tasty! It’s a good outlet for students to share their culture and their favourite meals from home. I would share my own culture and its foods (or well, my character’s culture and their foods) as well as inform and share other cultures too. It’s important for representation (at least to me)!

3.5. JAPANESE CUISINE: Along with experiencing different cultures, it’s important to learn about the Japanese one (since the location is set in Japan). There are so many tasty foods depending on the region and I think it would be helpful for students to know what’s out there (especially since it’s the country they live in). This may be more of a cultural learning journey for those international students who did not grow up with Japanese customs or food.

4. SWEET TREAT: There are always students who love a good sweet treat, so why not dedicate a whole unit to sweet desserts? These can also act as a sort of sweet pastries and baking unit. There are different methods when baking different sweets. Like making cookies has a different method of baking compared to muffins. It’s valuable information if they want to make their sweet treats at home or if they want to open up a bakery one day (sky’s the limit).

=============================================================================
Some /me 's I think I would use in class


/me walked around to the front of his desk, greeting the class as they wandered to their respective stations. “Good morning class! I hope you are well-fed and ready to learn! If not, then not to worry, I’ve got a wonderful lab for us today that we’ll be doing.” He’d scan through his workstation, picking up one of the many copies of the recipe they were all going to work on today. “As I mentioned yesterday, we’re in our breakfast unit! Today, I thought it’d be a nice treat to make some pancakes. We’ve discussed the recipe in the past, so I am confident you can follow along.” He’d pick up the rest of the stack of recipes as he smiled. “You may work in groups of two to four for this project. I’ll walk around and hand you your recipe as you set up your mise en plais. Don’t hesitate to raise your hand if you have any questions.”

/me pointed at the buckets before him. “Now, Mr. Malevic, why do we have buckets? Let me tell you!” As both buckets were empty, he’d spin the green bucket with its label facing the class, lifting it for all to see, “This is our detergent bucket. It’s also known as the green bucket, y’know why?” ... “Anyways! Green bucket means soap bucket. You’ll put a little bit of dish soap in the bucket and fill it up with warm water aboouuttt ¾ the way full.” He’d set the green bucket down and swapped it for the red bucket, doing the same thing he had before, “Red bucket! Sanitation bucket. You’ll come up to my desk and squirt one pump of the pure alcohol you can’t use for your hands into the bucket and also fill it up about ¾ the way full.” He’d set the bucket down, making sure the labels for both buckets were facing the class. “Get a rag from the pantry and put it in the bucket! You’ll fully ring the rag out before you clean your surfaces. Green first, then red, understood?”

/me rolled his sleeves up ¾ up his arm. He’d lean against the front of his workstation, looking out to the class. “Happy Friday, 4th period! You’re in luck, we’re doing a pop cookie lab today!” He’d reach to his side as he picked up three different recipes. “Now, your options for today are snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, or pumpkin cookies! Wash your hands, tie your hair back, get your recipe and you can begin your mise en plais and cook! You may work in small groups, max 4 at a station please!”

/me lowered the welcome music as he began his yap, “Oookayy! Demo day! I’m gonna walk you through step-by-step how to make the dough for your homemade pasta. We may not have enough time for you to make it - if that’s the case, we’ll do it next period.” He’d roll his sleeves up, making sure they were out of the way. “I have my mise en plais all set up! I’ve already read through the recipe, so what do I have to do next?” He’d ask the class, awaiting their response.

Teacher Knowledge

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

IN-GAME: Teachers are the educators for the students. It wouldn’t be “SchoolRP” if there was no “school” aspect. Players who play a teacher role are in charge of their respective classes, hosting a lesson based on their specialty and roleplaying it out to students who attend their classes. The goal of these players is to find ways to relay info to the student players while also trying to be engaging and entertaining.

Teachers can have all sorts of teaching styles! You wouldn’t see the same approach for a P.E. teacher as a Mathematics teacher, now would you? Perhaps one method could be by staying in the classroom and lecturing + quizzing about certain information so students can obtain grades. Or it’s creating group projects students have all three periods to work on. Maybe it’s taking students out of the classroom and on a field trip around campus or out (with permission) to demonstrate real-world experiences or get students moving in outdoor activities.

OUT-OF-GAME: The purpose of a teacher is to educate their students prepare them for their futures and let them experience things that could be of interest to them. Any educator acts as a role model for their students, role models that can help inform a student's aspirations. Teachers guide students through different learning methods and processes that best work for that class. Their goal is to create a positive environment where children and teens can experiment with their interests and expand their knowledge, learning about the world around them. Sometimes teachers can be seen as “the people who prepare you for university” or “the people who prepare you for a job,” and while there is truth to that, a teacher’s impact can be much greater than that. By providing a positive and welcoming experience for the youth to be who they want and figure everything out, they are better prepared to make informed decisions and figure out their futures from there. A teacher should be encouraging, and pushing students to the limits of their learning (obviously without draining them out or making them hate the learning process).

In a teacher’s spare time, they can be seen doing any other adult activity they so desire to pursue. Some of the time, they may be seen preparing for their next class, doing additional research, creating templates, creating projects, and more to ensure their students are receiving the best information in retainable ways.
