Classes and Student Teaching

[magicademymods]

Classes and Student Teaching The purpose of a Magicademy is teaching, of course, and so long as they are enrolled within it, students are expected to take and attend six classes per day, five days a week. This number has been fairly inviolate over the course of history, and has both tradition and proven efficacy to support it. The schedule sets aside mornings for instruction in the magical Curricula and afternoons for other subjects, emphasizing the primacy of magic in an aspiring wizard’s life while preventing any student from taking nothing but. Each class is a semester long, with one midterm of some form and one final administered to judge student progress. Students begin in class 1, and for most classes may advance to high-numbered classes in sequence with each passing semester. Every magic class goes from 1 to 10, representing five solid years of education to become as masterful at that Curriculum as the Magicademy can make you, whereas many other classes may only reach 5 or 4 -- or in the case of niche subjects, no further levels beyond the first. Each House has three required courses; each new student MUST have the first level of these three courses on their schedule in their initial semester, and to graduate each student MUST pass the full course series. Gekronus Maius: Discovery, Etiquette, History of the Tenscore Kingdoms Valhudor: Fantastics, Music, Physics Aer et Calculum: Thaumaturgy, Dialectical Logic, Astronomy Purifeul: Modification, Mathematics, Alchemy Eiather: Intimation, Religion, one language of choice Ka: Sundering, Law, History of Wizardry Due to recent events, students are strongly, strongly encouraged to study Draconic Knowledge.

Student Teaching Recognizing that many of the Sundered have valuable skills, knowledges, and life experiences to share with others, Diatu Magicademy allows those students to apply for a position as student teachers. This position not only counts for a course credit but also draws a modest salary, allowing a share of financial freedom to those who might otherwise have nothing but what Diatu Magicademy in its grace gives them. It may also help those who feel too old or too experienced to be in school among so many youths to feel more comfortable in the education environment. To become a student instructor, a student must demonstrate suitable proficiency in an area of general applicability. (Thus, a history of their home world would not be valid, for example, though a course on strategy and tactics of a late medieval-fantasy world would be.) If their selection is accepted and they prove themselves worthy, they then prepare a syllabus and submit it for approval. Once approved, they may then teach the class in one afternoon slot of their choice. Student teachers are routinely audited to make sure they are grading fairly and without bias, teaching useful information, and performing well in their other classes. Beyond this level of oversight, student teachers are generally free to conduct their lessons as they see fit.

Student Teacher Application

[phoenixwiz]

Name: Harry Potter
Proposed Class: Defensive Magic

Harry has extensive training in Defense Against the Dark Arts in his Third Year, is an accomplished wand duelist in his generation, managed to help his schoolmates to learn many defensive spells when the subject was under a ruthless Ministry of Magic official (*cough, cough* Umbridge*cough, cough*) in his Fifth Year with Dumbledore’s Army, and has been one of the main players in the Second Wizarding War and the Battle of Hogwarts.

This class aims to help students in learning to defend oneself and the people around them with or without the use of magic foci. This class might require the use of words since most of his world’s magic have a verbal competent to them (defensive magic included) and precise pronunciation is needed to get much needed results.
