Teacher
As a PROFESSIONAL and as
a PERSON
The characteristics and demands of
teaching as a profession are as follows:

Professional knowledge. Is vast in scope,

begins with the pre-service aspect of a
teacher preparation program, and expands
with experience.
Instructional Effectiveness: An
effective teacher should teach well.
This demands again a very high
level of flexibility and a wide range
of expertise from the teacher.
Good communicator: Teachers
need to be highly skilled in the art
of communication involving
listening and speaking as well as
reading and writing to excel in
their profession.
Critical Thinking: Teachers must
practice critical thinking in all
content areas; they must be able to
ask appropriate questions, gather
relevant information, reason logically
from this information, and come to
reliable and trustworthy conclusions.
Interpersonal Skills: The capacity for
empathy, a belief that every child can
learn, attention to individual needs,
sensitivity to home and community
issues, ability to be at ease in the
presence of children or young adults, and
the ability to provide a positive, caring
atmosphere for learning are examples of
these skills.
Integration of Discipline: Knowing content is
important for a teacher; however, broadening
the context and applicability of content through
integration of disciplines provides students
with a richer academic experience. Integration
fosters ongoing reinforcement of skills learned
in one area of study and utilized in other areas.
Technology Integration:
Integrating technology into
classroom instruction means the
usage of technology to engage
students and facilitate their
thinking and construction of
knowledge.
Organization and Classroom
Management: The teacher should
adopt a proactive organizational and
managerial style that involves
interventions and strategies
designed to include positive
expectations, self-evaluation, and
growth.
True Compassion for Students: They should not
expect their students to leave the thoughts of the
outside world at the doors of the classroom. They
should take time to discuss subjects outside their
teaching. Teachers should be well-versed in providing
guidance and counseling to students and help them to
solve their problems.
