DUTIES OF A TEACHER ON DUTY
Many people think a Teacher on Duty just “walks around.”
The truth? The Teacher on Duty is the heartbeat of the school for that day.
👇 Here are the key duties every Teacher on Duty is expected to handle:
✅ Morning Supervision
Ensures early resumption, proper uniform, and orderly movement of students.
✅ Assembly Control
Maintains discipline, proper lining up, and coordinates assembly activities.
✅ Classroom Monitoring
Checks that teachers are in class, lessons are ongoing, and students are not roaming.
✅ Break & Lunch Supervision
Monitors students to prevent bullying, fighting, and unsafe behaviour.
✅ Student Discipline
Handles minor issues, records offences, and reports serious cases appropriately.
✅ Health & Safety Oversight
Responds to accidents, directs sick students to the sick bay, and ensures safety.
✅ School Environment Control
Ensures cleanliness and proper use of school facilities.
✅ Closing & Dismissal
Supervises orderly dismissal and ensures students leave safely.
📝 At the end of the day:
A duty report is submitted with key observations and incidents.
📣 Remember:
A Teacher on Duty doesn’t just teach — they protect, supervise, and lead the entire school for the day.
