Teacher Description Template 1
Teacher-in-action\nSubject/task: [x]\nTeaching move: [x]\nStudent response: [x]\nTeacher adaptation: [x]\nWhat reader can infer: [x]
Start with structure, then replace every placeholder with information that is true, relevant, and natural for your context. These templates are intentionally skeletal so your final writing does not sound mass-produced.
A strong teacher description shows what the teacher actually does in a particular classroom or scene. Appearance can be included when relevant, but teaching style and character should emerge from repeated choices, language, responses to students, and the constraints of the setting.
