Why are Teachers so important to SchoolRP?:
Teachers host classes to teach students their specialized subjects, and are the main focus of school roleplay. Without teachers hosting classes there is not much school roleplay going around besides other faculty members monitoring the hallways and rest of the school property.

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

In-Character Section

What's your character's full name?: Ugo Topo
What is your character's nationality?: Itailian
What is your preferred subject to teach?: Design Technology (Workshop)

Describe your character:
His left shoulder would be decorated with roses ands leaves that extended all the way down slightly past their elbow; with five hummingbirds scattered amongst this bush of roses. His overgrown, ginger mullet would puff out. Causing some of the bangs to cover his placid, gray eyes. The corner of his mouth were curved in such a way that the grin on his face could be easily missed. The relaxed, man stood at a mere 5'11", and faintly smelt like freshly cut wood. He looked to be in his early 50s. Both of his hands were rugged and scarred, however on his left hand you'd notice that the tip of his index finger was missing. Ugo spoke with a cautionary, yet candid tone.

Outside of a professional setting, you'd catch Ugo in any plain coloured T-Shirt that would be neatly tucked into his cargo pants. Inside of school he'd wear dress pants that were bound to be riddled with wood shavings and paint, due to the nature of how messy his class could get. His clothing was well kept whilst the rest of his appearance, like his hair, was neglected. Sure he came of as someone who kept to themself, and wouldn't go out of their way to draw attention to themselves; but that couldn't be further from the truth. Especially when it came to a safety concern, where he'd change on a dime. Going from calm and compose to loud and stern whenever he felt like something bad was about to happen. After evading whatever he felt like could've ended in bad repercussions, Ugo's hands would remain shaky for a good hour no matter how calm he tried to appear.

Coming from a middle class family who could barely afford costs for college classes, he'd always planned on giving his children better access to pursuing their education further. So in hopes of not repeating the same mistakes, Ugo's been saving up as much as he could for his children's tuitions. As well as the cliché goal that many adults share; to make a difference in the younger generations. However, this goal would narrow down specifically to help ensure that no accidents and injuries would occur due to improper usage of the tools in the workshop.

What is your character's outlook on students and co-workers?:
"Many adults think that students are impressionable. And that may be true to some degree, but half the time they're already stuck in the paths that they've personally chosen. Some have decided to take on the rocky road that involves many risks, whilst others simply have chosen to listen to those with more life experience. Following onto a path that is easier and leads to less trouble down the line. Sure some kids may be easily influenced, but it's more so their peers influencing them more so than us adults. To them, how they look in front of their peers is more important than how they do to us adults. All we can do is set a good example and say that we tried with this upcoming generation. Most of adults are no better outside of work. But at least inside the workplace they get it all together to properly perform their jobs." Ugo would drum his fingers on the table, frowning as he sighed, "Even then though, you'll get goofballs in the workplace that cause disruptions and create a dangerous workspace."

What is your character's motivation for teaching?:
"I've always love doing art projects. Most folks do. It's a way that everyone can express themselves. While sketching and painting is relaxing, there has always been something amazing about physically creating whatever you planned on paper. In the workshop, at other schools I had the privilege of teaching students how to create rough draft blueprints, and even encouraged them to think outside of the box. Bringing their own inspirations and ideas into the classroom. The only other class that comes close to engaging in student's creativity like this is art class. And even then it's simply just for art. Here student's learn skills that can benefit them outside of school. Since they learn how to safely handle tools and to apply simple mathematical skills into such projects. To put it simply however; I do it mainly to see the creativity of the younger generations."

Roleplay Scenarios

A student in class is struggling to understand the content, what would your character do?:
Noticing that a student appeared to be stumped on their project, Ugo would approach them quietly. Looking at the student's blueprints and materials, he'd raise his soft gaze up to meet theirs as he gently asked them if there was anything that they needed help with. Ugo would patiently wait for the student's response, so that he could address whatever they were stumped with directly. If the student wasn't sure of the entire lesson, Ugo would set some time aside during that period to slowly review the contents of that lesson. Addressing any questions directly 1 on 1 as they popped up during the review. If for whatever reason there wasn't enough time in the period to do some review with the individual student to address whatever they couldn't grasp. Ugo would then offer to spend some time during lunchtime or a break, to aid the student.

A student is continuously being disruptive in class, talking out of turn, and making jokes with classmates. What would your character do?:
After giving this particular student many warnings Ugo would pull the student out into the hallway, to privately address their behaviours. If the student seemed remorseful, despite having to be given a ton of warnings Ugo would give them one final chance. Allowing them back into the class, but separating them with the students that seemed to make it harder for the disruptive student to concentrate. Ugo would address the class after coming back in from the hallway, warning everyone that any other disruptions will lead to being kicked out of the class. After sternly warning the class, Ugo would resume class. Swiftly dealing with any other disruptions that might pop up due to students not heeding Ugo's previous warning.

Provide at least 2 interactive class ideas related to your preferred subject:
First class idea; basic safety trivia. Go over common safety rules that apply to the workshop with students. Ensuring that everyone gets a chance to answer. If the class is big enough, do the trivia with teams as opposed to every student for themself.

Second class idea; show students how to draw a blueprint. Afterwards allowing them to choose simple projects to design as a blueprint. Which would require measurements, precise sketches, materials needed, and labels.

Third class idea; get students to build from a blueprint (whether it's a blueprint that they drew from another class or one that's handed out). With the provided materials they'd be supervised and expected to build from their blueprints. Getting graded on how accurate they were with the blueprint they followed.
