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

EL RANCHO TEACHERS ARE CHOSEN, NOT JUST FOR THEIR EDUCATION,
BUT FOR THEIR "HEART" AS WELL!
