My Job

My name is Laura and I am a primary school teacher. I work at Emirates National School. I enjoy the challenges of working as a teacher. Every day is different and this means that I encounter new challenges. This makes my job interesting. I enjoy teaching because it is fulfilling and I am happy with what I do. I would not consider changing my job. I have worked as a teacher for six years. I have worked in the UAE for three years.

I work 45.4 hours a week. My day starts at 7.00 when I get to school. I prepare for the days work after which I have assembly. I then teach the first lesson. We have break after that between 9.05 and 9.45, and then I teach the second lesson. We take a lunch break at 11.45 until 12.30, and then we have afternoon lessons. We then release the children to go home. I stay in the school until four in the afternoon as I mark the papers.

I have different responsibilities in my job. I plan and assess the children’s work. I am responsible for the children’s safety when they are in school. In addition to that, I take care of them during breaks. I mark books and I make sure that the grade books are up to date. I prepare the day’s lessons and I change the classroom displays.

I earn a salary of 13650aed monthly. I also get housing and a flight to the UK once a year. Other than that, I get other intrinsic rewards. I pleased and I feel rewarded when I teach the children something and they understand. I feel that I have made a difference in their lives. I am qualified at what I do. I have a BA Hons degree in Primary Teaching and I specialized in science. In addition to that, we have training sessions every Tuesday afternoon.
