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:
