Personal qualities of the teacher

Perhaps, the most irreplaceable and obligatory qualities for the teacher are: emotional steadiness, self-control and cheerfulness. It is very important that the teacher was friendly in relation to the pupils, irrespective of their attitude towards him.

This profession also means ability of the teacher to settle any conflicts, without resorting to pressure. Also the teacher has to be capable to various styles of communication: formal and informal. It is very important that he could become the true friend for the pupils; the person who is credible. Certainly, to deserve similar reputation from the teacher many efforts will be required. However, it is worth it. You shouldn't forget that development of this profession insufficiently simply of desire and some skills, requires calling. Especially it is important to consider it that who chooses a profession of the elementary school teacher. All the matter is that they should make special efforts to come into contact with children, to make educational process not simply useful, but interesting. And the educational role of the teacher in this case is more important.

You shouldn't neglect opportunity to keep up to date also. For this purpose such qualities as inquisitiveness and desire to study are necessary for the teacher. Besides, ability to recognize, that fact can be demanded from the teacher that not on each question he knows the answer. This quality will allow it to gain authority and trust of pupils.

Education (that it is necessary to know?)

The profession of the teacher can be received at numerous teacher training colleges and universities. Until recently teacher training colleges were also demanded though, as a rule, after its termination graduates preferred to continue education already in absentia in a higher educational institution. Educational process means concrete specialization (the mathematics teacher, drawing and so on).
