According to O*NET, the common tasks performed by Elementary School Teachers include:
- Establishing objectives for lessons, units, and projects
- Adapting teaching methods and materials to meet students’ needs
- Instructing students individually and in groups

The tasks "tending school gardens to grow vegetables and fruit" and "employing design skills to create art for display in schools" are less common and may not be standard requirements for all elementary school teachers.
