Korean Job Discussion Forums

I recently submitted my resume and cover letter for a public school job in Korea. I was pleased to receive a quick positive reply. But I was surprised that I was asked to create and submit a lesson plan based on two pages of a school textbook that was scanned and sent to me.

Has anyone else received a similar request. To me, it seems odd.

Seems smart on the school's part even if it is a little tedious. It would make me want to work with them more. If they like your lesson plan then there is a higher probability that they will like you as a teacher.

i had to create a lesson plan for a public school job. just knocked one out in 30-40 mins. got the job.

It seemed "odd"? Use the simple skill of prediction.

You applied for a teaching position!

Doesn't a submitted lesson plan seem like a reasonable hurdle to demonstrate some semblance of teaching competency?

I'm at a loss as to why you were dumbfounded.

or theyre just looking for an easy way to get a curriculum without having to do any work themselves. 30 Chapters in the book + 30 applicants = Curriculum Completed

ECC has you do a model lesson during orientation.
