A teacher's job involves four main duties. (1)Teachers must prepare for their classes. (2) They must guide, or assist, the learning of students. (3) They must check student progress. (4) Teachers must set a good example for their students. In carrying out these duties, teachers try to identify and respond to the needs of individual students.
