Becoming A Teacher To become a teacher, there must first be teaching positions open. If there are no teaching positions open, feel free to suggest one here. Current Positions
Applying Remember that being a teacher is a responsibility. Not only are you a member of the Oddhart staff in the RPG, but becoming a teacher also gives you the responsibility of a mod. Do not abuse this. Teachers are supposed to help out in the closing of topics and with questions that members have, as well as deleting unwanted posts and topics, and most importantly being active. Do not apply if you cannot handle these responsibilities or if you do not plan on fulfilling them. From this point onward, hired staff at Oddhart Academy must be members for at least two months to be considered for a staff position. If I do not know you on a more personal level, and thus cannot trust you, there is a very slim chance that you will be hired. To apply, simply fill out the following form on one of your other characters and PM it to Professor Oddhart. If you do not have a character on Oddhart already, you may e-mail the form to me at wishofwings@hotmail.com or note it to me on dA at my account here.
Creating Your Teacher Once you have applied to be a teacher and had that teacher appilication accepted, you can create your teacher. To do so, you will register a new account. In most cases, your name should be: Professor [your characters last name] If you are applying for a position that is not a professor, you will get further instructions when your application is accepted. After creating your account, please PM Professor Oddhart notifying me and reminding me which position you applied for. You may then post your profile in the TEACHERS subforum where all the other teacher profiles are posted. You should use the information you submitted to me in your application, but feel free to add more areas and to spruce up the entire thing. At the top of your profile, before you begin putting information, please put: Professor [character's name (full or just last] Position on Staff You should post the profile with the title as 'Professor [character's last name]', or whatever name you registered with. Here are some samples to look at: | Professor Maion | Professor Spokes | Professor Sunblight | After a day or two, you will be moved into your teacher ranking and you can begin posting in the RPG. Do not post before you have been moved up to your rank. Teaching A Class One of the most enjoyable part of being a teacher is the ability to "teach a class". Don't worry if you have no idea what you're doing. This, after all, is an RPG school. It's not a real school and no one expects you to come in here with a teaching degree. Just like no one expects to go into your classroom and learn something for real. To post a class, simply post a topic in your classroom forum. If you'd like, you can even put a cap on the amount of students that can post in it. Many people are overwhelmed when a lot of characters join their topic, and I do not want any teachers unable to control/handle their classes. You can teach on anything as long as it is appropriate and fits within your professor's subject. It is helpful if, within the first post, you tell students what they will be learning that day (e.g. "love poems" in Language or "controlling your powers" in Magic). It's also fun to post a pinned and closed topic within your classroom that details the layout/look/feel of your classroom so that students have an idea of what it looks like. Do not be discouraged if you don't get any students right away. Classes are optional. They're for fun on this forum. Give it a few days, and once the class gets rolling, make sure you give time for the students to reply. Stuck? Here are some suggestions on things to do: [/center]
A Note to Other Staff Members You are obviously not teachers, therefore you do not have classes and do not teach classes. Being other staff members, you can lurk about your rightful places and also explore the castle. But mainly, you're job is to be there when the students come looking for you and need you to be there. And to crash their topics in your areas, as is your right. (: A Note on Everything Else Once you have been elevated to your teacher rank, you become a moderator. This gives you the power to close topics, delete topics, delete posts, and pin topics. Do not abuse these. If I see these abused, you get one warning; if you continue to abuse these powers, your teacher will be forcibly "retired". You should, however, use them appropriately. If someone asks you to delete a post/topic for them, do so as long as the request is reasonable. If someone marks their topic as closed, close it. As far as pinning topics go, please refrain unless it seems like important information that should be pinned. Do not pin profiles. Do not pin games. Do not pin anything in the General Information forum. Also, keep an eye out for rule breakers and report them when they need to be reported. Offices/Lodgings Each teacher or staff member can now opt to have an office or a living area. It will be a separate sub-forum within wherever your staff member resides (their classroom or place of work). You do not have to have one of these. They are optional. Simply send a PM to Professor Oddhart specifying whether or not you would like an Office or a Lodging. Do not send a PM just to say that you do not want one. The sub-forum will be titled as so: Professor [last name]'s Office/Lodgings The last word will depend on what you asked for. Feel free to post a pinned and locked topic within your home to describe what it looks like; the floor plan is identical for all living spaces, and can be found here. The furniture can be moved around and things can certainly be added. The bathroom, kitchen, doors, window, and fireplace cannot be moved. If you are interested in the blank template, please PM me.
