TEACHER PERSONAL QUALITIES AND QUALIFICATIONS
The personal qualities which a person brings to the teaching profession are as important as their education and experience. Teaching, like the ministry, is a ‘calling’. A person who didn’t “heed the call” to be a teacher often can be found volunteering as a scout leader, coach, team ‘mother’, Sunday school teacher or staying home raising their own children. A wonderful teacher is one who could be heard saying, “I teach because being around children makes my heart sing!”
Great teachers always have these qualities:
- kind, joyful manner
- is seen smiling a lot
- listens with heart and mind
- emotionally mature and stable
- energetic, enthusiastic
- passionate about kids’ learning
- patient and not easily frustrated
- pleasant personal manner – interesting, motivating
