(We aim to create a rich experience for both adult and student characters on Darvey Island so, if you hold the position of Professor please know that admin will have higher expectations of you than other players. Please read completely to familiarize yourself with the duties of being a professor at Salem. Many professors will be required to post at minimum nine lessons a year. If you are not willing to make that commitment please do not apply.) Congratulations on accepting your post at the historic and prestigious Salem Academy. It is with open arms you are welcomed into this generations-old family of educators. The Wizarding world depends on people like you to shape the minds of our future generations.
Consistency in education is key and we at Salem have created a framework of guidelines for all of our faculty and staff to adhere to:
-All faculty and staff that are not permanent residents of The Academy, or those who have gone abroad for the summer, are required to return to schools grounds two weeks before the beginning of the term.
-All faculty and staff are to attend and participate in celebrations and ceremonies sponsored by the school.
-We believe in a rigorous curriculum for our students. Each professor must deliver, at a minimum, three lessons per grade sector they teach. That breaks down as follows:
* 3 lessons for 1-3 years * 3 lessons for 4-5 years * 3 lessons for 6-7 years
Some professors will teach all grade levels while others will teach a more limited group. Either way, dedication, and passion are requirements for inspiring young witches and wizards to greatness.
-At the end of each term, Professors are required to submit questions for the yearly OWLs. More information on this will be sent to you at the appropriate time.
-Professors are encouraged to give and take away house points as they see fit.
-Detention is the right of the professor to assign as he or she sees fit in accordance with a student's behavior.
-Professors are allowed to patrol the campus as they wish. If they catch any students out of their dormitories, they may remove house points, issue detention, or both.
-We value our Salem faculty and staff and pay monthly wages as well as provide complimentary housing. Professors will find an entrance to their living quarters right off of their assigned classrooms. The door to the residence may be camouflaged and protected as the Professor sees fit.
Our responsibility to the next generation of the wizarding kind is in your hands. This is not a task to take lightly. You are now an honored member of the Salem Faculty and Staff and together we will shape the future. No matter what may come, we shall not fail.
I look forward to the year to come with you. My office is on the second floor in the north wing and you are welcome to visit anytime. Thank you again for your service to The Academy, and welcome home to Salem.
