Answer:


Expectations and Challenges of Teaching Profession in New Millennium. 



It cannot be denied that teaching is a rewarding yet challenging career. It demands broad 
knowledge of subject matter, curriculum, and standards; enthusiasm, a caring attitude, and a 
love of learning; knowledge of discipline and classroom management techniques; and a 
desire to make a difference in the lives of young people.



At Trinity, our teachers are passionate, engaging and committed to their profession. As 
parents we don’t often get an insight into the vast and varied tasks that teachers undertake 
behind the scenes. It is easy to forget that the fun and engaging activities that our children enjoy in the classroom are the result of planning, lifelong learning, and experience that is juggled with many administrative tasks.

So, what are the main challenges facing teachers today?



1. Integrating curriculum with 21st century learning skills

It may be the 21st Century but many schools have yet to make the shift to the new 
millennium’s styles of teaching and learning. An overloaded curriculum can leave teachers 
overwhelmed when trying to develop critical thinking, problem solving skills, curiosity, 
entrepreneurship and digital analysis.


2. Development and growth in Information Communications Technology (ICT)


The students in our classrooms are true digital  natives, spending most of their personal time 
using digital devices for entertainment and communication purposes. Often, they are more 
knowledgeable than the adults in their lives of various social media apps, electronic games 
and multimedia entertainment; and all this from an extraordinarily young age.



3. Collaboration with peers


The very nature of a teacher’s job can be isolating, with many teachers struggling to find time 
in the school day to confer with colleagues and engage in pedagogical professional
conversations.



4. Identifying effective ideas


So many ideas are available on the internet, but identifying which ones are effective is a 
common problem for many teachers who can be overwhelmed by an almost infinite amount 
of ideas, resources and tools available online.



5. Curriculum overload


Schools have become the ‘go-to place’ for many social ills and issues, with continuous 
demands from government to implement new programmes. Adding this to a primary 
curriculum of 12 subject areas, it’s natural and understandable for teachers to feel 
overwhelmed and overloaded.



6. There are more children needing support with fewer resources


Diagnosis of learning needs is more prevalent now than it ever was, with more and more 
children with specific special educational needs integrated in our classes.



7. Time is a scarce resource


Any analysis of a school’s strengths and challenges will identify time as the biggest challenge 
facing a school and its staff, who often don’t have time to converse, plan and research.



At Trinity,  we know that the quality of your son’s education hinges largely on the teachers 
who provide it, a responsibility we take very seriously. It is well documented that highly 
effective teaching improves student outcomes. More than this, teachers have a marked
impact on a child’s enthusiasm for learning and life in general.



Our Practice of Teaching at Trinity (POTT) ensures teachers are supported, empowered, 
prepared and constantly learning and exchanging ideas to provide the best learning 
environments for our students. Our pastoral care extends to nurturing and supporting all staff 
and families  –  not just students. Our educators’ length of tenure is a testament to their 
commitment and dedication – with many teachers serving for 10 years or more.
