Why are Teachers so important to SchoolRP?:
Teachers are a substantial part of the SchoolRP server due to their role as an educator to the Highschool level students, a crucial building block for success in their academic pursuit to move up in grades all the way from college to graduation. Teachers are also one of the first types of players newcomers of SRP run into due to the interactive, player hosted classes and help they provide as a part of school faculty. They're trustworthy, dependable figures that are there to guide their students, help them learn. When they aren't hosting classes, they work as a team with other faculty to keep the school a safe and welcoming environment for the youths.
Additionally to the point of new players, I've noticed many Teachers are there to OOCLY help green players (otherwise referred to as greenies) learn the basics of the server, such as how to create one's own character, how to action and use other commands, etc.

Describe your character:
[Character description]
✧˖° Angelique, or 'Angela' as she much prefers, is a 39 year old fair, petite Swiss woman with a voice as soft as honey and a thick Germanic accent. She has soft, angelic features. A prominent mole frames the left of her doe-gazed, large powder blue eyes. Soft, naturally pink lips. Her honey blonde hair seems like it hasn't been chopped in years, it's silky and wavy as if out of a Loreal advertisement. She sports an ample hourglass frame with a defined waist. Smells like Swiss chocolate...
[Personality, qualities and morals]
✧˖° Angelique is a generally softspoken, compassionate pacifist with a deep understanding of empathy and the psychology behind the human mind. Despite pushing 40, she's not deterred by time's arrow as it marches forward and doesn't turn back. Neither does she, but the Swiss woman finds there's no wrong in looking back fondly at good memories. In her younger years, she worked as a combat medic, often deployed overseas with a few notable friends from the past. She's seen it all; the beautiful and ugly parts of one's psyche. Over time, this has trained her to insert herself into other people's shoes to gain a better understanding of how one has been led to the actions they've taken. She believes this makes her an excellent fit for the role of an educator; bringing fairness to situations that require a delicate hand to unravel the situation and get to the bottom of how a possible conflict may have started.
A mother of a young son and an aunt to her orphaned niece whom she helped raise, Angela is thoroughly familiar with what it takes to get behind the thought process of the teenage mind, and the twists and turns that come with said process. Whenever faced with a problem, she's taught herself to go through a little mental checklist she's created over the years. Why, how, when, who and where?
[Plans for the future]
✧˖° Angelique considered going back into medicine for a long time, but ultimately decided the subject may provoke unnecessary, painful memories. For a good while before moving to Karakura, she wasn't entirely sure where to go from where she stood both metaphorically and in the physical sense of location. When her sister died and her niece became an orphan as a result of unstoppable, unfortunate coincidence, she made up her mind to move abroad to Japan for a fresh start, and to become a guardian angel of sorts for the young girl now in her care. Through her time observing the residents of the town, she came to yearn for teaching students in some sense of the arts; since before her family guided her to the path of medicine, she had studied to become a drama teacher fresh out of University, but as context shows those plans fell through. So why not start on that path now?
In the near future, she hopes for her job to offer a certain stability she finds herself lacking when stuck between the endless free-time she has and raising not one, but two children. She yearns to build a family- find a nice person to settle down with, and go on as an educator for many years into the future...
What is your character's outlook on students and co-workers?:
✧˖° Angelique wouldn't call herself laid back necessarily, but she isn't an uptight lecturer either. She finds a fair midway path in her teaching, where she has certain expectations and rules to her classroom, but she knows when to let loose ever so slightly to have fun with her students instead of spectating from the side of the stage. In her classes, she hopes to give fair and uplifting criticisms to those under her wing. To instill in them, the whimsy and magic of drama and all that lies around it. She thinks it's absolutely necessary to keep her students interested, and to feel safe in her care. Much unlike the educators in her family line before her, Angelique believes students to require the same amount of respect she'd give any of her superiors or elders. Perhaps just to in her own way, show them it can be done, and that she refuses to become bitter in her pursuit of leading youth to a higher education like some before her.
She's a caring soul, often offering coffee to coworkers in the early mornings, although nobody is quite certain if her coffee is even digestible for the human body. At least it's strong and keeps HER awake. She often finds herself lending an ear to those in need, and is more than happy to sit around for just a moment in the faculty lounge if she finds a colleague having a rough day. She strives to always be available to help, listen or just be there as a figure of comfort. She isn't incredible at small-talk however, often finding herself going much deeper into subjects of the well-being of the mind and physical health to any she finds neglecting such necessities. Perhaps she finds it easier to stick to the weather and class time plans.
What is your character's motivation for teaching?:
✧˖° Angelique comes from a family full of doctors and educators of different prestige. As a child, her father hammered it into her head that a teacher of any sort must be firm, direct and unwavering in their position. She never fully bought that idea however, finding herself quite put off by any mentor whom seemed to think they're the cream of the crop, and how foolish she should be to question their endless knowledge and intelligence. Angela finds a teacher should be caring in their own way, unbiased and fair in their judgement whilst on the job. Every student deserves equal time and effort put into their education and understanding of the subject at hand. She wants to be that for her students. To show that even when you feel alone and think nobody sees it, someone is there to show them patience and goodwill.
She hopes to teach drama to students, refine their skills in acting and knowledge of theatre and the secrets that lie within. The history and beauty of the subject, and why it is so integral to society to hold onto those luxuries to keep you steady in the rustle and rumble of daily routines and schedules. She wants to help her students write, build and execute scenes they've put their heart, time and effort into. To see just what the youths are capable of with a co-actor, a good prompt and a stage to use as their own. She encourages effort, and has a keen eye for hidden potential... She wants to chase that. Because deep down, she thinks anyone can have it in them, what it takes to be good- no, great.
Roleplay Scenarios
A student in class is struggling to understand the content, what would your character do?:
✧˖° Angelique would try to pull the student aside, as she knows calling a confused person out in the midst of a crowded classroom can be overwhelming and quite scary. Not to mention inconsiderate. She'd ask them what part exactly the student is confused about, and would try to break the issue down in simpler terms, potentially explain in greater detail to diffuse any misunderstanding. She'd ask whether or not there's anything the student did grasp onto, and try to work from there whenever possible. Whether it's about not quite getting the meaning of the prompt, a technical term or anything of the sort, she seems to hold endless patience to assist in achieving understanding for all of her students.
Of course, she'd check in with the confused student afterward, and if necessary she'd give them further instructions. If she simply doesn't have time, she'd always refer them to a tutor if applicable!
A student is continuously being disruptive in class, talking out of turn, and making jokes with classmates. What would your character do?:
✧˖° Angelique has simple rules in her classroom. No electronics or instruments unless prompted by a scene, no speaking off-stage without raising one's hand, and no otherwise disrupting behavior. Although she's fair in her judgement, Angela gives two warnings in class. The first warning is mostly a formality, a gentle nudge to "sit down and focus on the subject at hand" and to "please keep any questions or comments in mind until the end of the scene/her explanation". The second warning is more direct, she may give a warning for possible detention depending on the offense. Any further disruptions by the same student result in removal from the classroom, no ifs or buts about it. You've had your chance, and if you cannot respect your fellow students'- nor my time, you're free to leave.
She'd keep an eye on the student if they return for another period, but doesn't further bring up their behavior unless prompted by continuous poor behavior. She isn't afraid to call for SLT if she sees it fit, which to be fair is not an everyday situation. She hopes.
Provide at least 2 interactive class ideas related to your preferred subject:
✧˖° Every one of Angelique's classes begin with a brief introduction, run-through about classroom rules and the subject of the period's lesson, whether it be a game, improv or in the future, perhaps a planned out scene.
① Improv! Admittedly, her favorite lesson plan. Whether she has a list of pre-written baseline ideas for a scene, or refers to her class to suggest new fresh ideas! She tries to keep it to one or two scenes per lesson to have some time to go over possible critiques and notes from each performance. It's important for the students to get fair criticism in what they did right, and what she believes they may be able to improve on for future reference. She would also ask the audience of students what they thought of the scene, and whenever necessary jump in to be the positive light in the room. She won't stand for any slander- especially since there is always a way to word things nicely and to out emphasis on what went right.
② Games! Whilst she doesn't know many of them, Angelique has started writing a formatted list of drama-related games she used to play in her highschool years. Such as 'Kitty wants a corner', 'Red light green light', and even a little game of 'Zip, zap, zop!' Related to the acting part of her teachings, 'Charades' is also a favorite of hers. She's not opposed to student submissions either.
We'll use charades as an example. A game in which the participants act out a word, object or even a place just to name a few nonverbally, relying on physical cues and poses to establish their subject of choosing. For example, a bird. In which the participant would perhaps spread their arms and pretend to fly away, or even bend down to peck at invisible seeds on the floor of the stage. It's a fun, interactive game for drama class that offers many turns for (hopefully) each willing student to participate.
