Well we currently have eight classes that are in need of teachers right away. Charms, Potions, Astronomy, Flying, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology and History of Magic. Other classes listed below are available to be taught as well. If your character is 20 or older you may apply here for a teaching job. You'll be required to post homework at least once a week for students. You have the ability to award and deduct house points and more. Any questions please feel free to pm me.

[u]Other[/u]

1) If you were asked to take charge and possibly assume position as a head staff member could you carry on the duty?
2) How would you react to a student/member breaking serious rules? How about a staff member?

RP Experience: (How long have you been rping?)
Activity: (How active can you be?)

Sample RP: (Give at least 3+ Paragraph sample of teaching one of the desired classes. You may give multiple samples if you chose more than one class, however 1 sample is enough.)


This gives us a feel of how well your rp skills are. Do not feel pressured. Even noobs do fine. We are considerate and friendly so don't feel that you have to do outstanding. We just want to make sure you know what you are doing. Relax and have fun with it.

Please note: if you cannot be an active member than please do not apply for a staff position[/color]

[Professor Florence Jane Law]

Username: florence
Name: Florence Law
Age: 63 / August 27, 1948 (when I made the character, I made her birthday the day after I applied)
Blood: Muggle
Former House: Ravenclaw
Race: Witch

Class Desired: Muggle Studies (I can help out here and there if need arises, however)
Reason: I can easily grasp the concept of the muggle world, and can whip up a lesson plan that's easy to understand. (You wanted an OOC reason?)
Experience: I was a Flying professor once and that was about it. Nothing other than that.

Other
1) If you were asked to take charge and possibly assume position as a head staff member could you carry on the duty?
Yes. Though in real life, I'm in the middle of finishing up apartment hunting, so if I had to start now, that would be a bit hard. But overall, yes.

2) How would you react to a student/member breaking serious rules? How about a staff member?
Students would get a stricter punishment, depending on what the rule was and how far they crossed the line. Staff wouldn't get as severe of a punishment, but if they continued to push the envelope, they'll get reported sooner or later.

RP Experience: 5-6 years
Activity: Every day. (I have no life outside of a computer. )

Sample RP:

The Fourth and Fifth Years sat at their desks, talking amongst themselves quietly. The class was about to begin, but Florence, not exactly the most patient person on the planet, wanted to start things off early. She walked into the room with the utmost confidence, took out her wand, and in a matter of seconds, a piece of chalk was lifted into the air. Florence motioned for the chalk to go over to the chalkboard, where she silently commanded it to write on the board.

Muggle Sports
Take notes on this. There will be a test at the end of the week.

“Class, pay attention to this lesson,” Florence said, pointing to the board behind her. We’ll be covering four Muggle sports this week, and as it says on the board, there’ll be a test on this on Friday.” With another wave of her wand, the chalk was raised again, and more words appeared on the blackboard.

Baseball
· Earliest mentions trace back to 1791 in Pittsfield, MA, United States
· Other references say “base ball” was played on Saturdays on the outskirts of Greenwich Village, NY, United States
· First team to play under modern rules was New York Knickerbockers (9/23/1845), playing under Knickerbocker rules. Knickerbocker rules are similar to current rules
· Myth claims Abner Doubleday was the founder of the rules to baseball, though Shane Ryley Foster created the Knickerbocker rules

“We will not be going over the formats in past eras in baseball,” Florence said, turning her attention back towards the class. “In this lesson, we will be learning about the current format, with 2011 rules.” Once again, she waved her wand. This time, however, a miniature field display popped up out of thin air. She summoned the class over to the display.

“You see this area here? This is the field. The white lines off to the sides mark foul territory. If a ball is hit anywhere to the left of this line” – Florence directed the class to the first base side of the display – “and to the right of this line” – again, she motioned to a line, but on the third base side – “then the ball is in play and the runner has the opportunity to advance to the first base. If the ball does not come in contact with the bat, which is the object you see against the wall here, then it is a strike.”
