The role of classroom technology helps students understand the usage of a new tool that is designed to improve their learning. Education apps may increase in number, but secondary schools need to stick to certain apps and tools that adhere to the secondary school education pattern.

5 Types of Teachers to find in U.S. Schools

When we talk about schools first thing comes to our mind is "Teachers". If you are reading this, it just because of a Teacher. Only teachers can teach a broad spectrum of subjects including science, math, English, art and even technology. They also teach in different classroom settings like active learning, scaffolded learning, sheltered instruction and many more. Teachers have a huge ramification on many aspects in their career as in the USA there are two types of Schools and they are Public Schools and Private Schools which includes elementary schools, high schools, junior high schools and senior high schools where each classroom is a different setting and has it's own challenges and benefits. Teachers can be classified into different categories such as funny teachers, strict teachers, friendly teachers, perfectionist teachers and lenient teachers. 

Now lets us take a look at different types of teachers in US Schools,

Grade Level Teachers:  When it come to K12 Education system, schools in the USA are divided into grade levels and if students' age is five they can be enrolled to kindergarten from there will be proceeding from grade one to grade twelve. As there are different grade levels, there will be different teacher teaching for each grade as there will be different phases of development and students needs also vary from time to time. 

Subject Teachers: Subject Teachers will be teaching various subjects to students including math, science and English. They mainly focus on one subject either it can be science, art, technology or etc. as they should focus on a specific discipline. 

Music Teachers: Every School will be having a teacher for teaching Music for students as an extra subject. Music Teachers will provide instructions in music theory and performance. They will be having music education and have proficiency in musical instruments and be able to read music so that they can transfer them to their students. 

Dance Teachers: Dance is a performance art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement. Dance teachers are the one who transfers dance performance skills and knowledge to students. 

One of the best ways to extract knowledge is by having regular interaction with teachers, as they provide the best solution for most of the problems and equations.
