Teaching is one of the most noble professions an individual can become involved with. However, not just anybody can pick up a few textbooks and begin trying to instruct a class full of children. It takes a particular set of skills to be an effective teacher.
Leadership
When in the classroom, a teacher must convey proper leadership skills in order to educate his class.
Planning
Teachers plan their curriculum for each day, sometimes weeks in advance. An effective teacher can't simply make it up as she goes along.
Clear Explanations
You will have some students who pick up on things quicker than others. For the slower students, you may have to reemphasize or better explain your point.
Effective Criticism
When grading papers, you won't get very far by simply marking an answer wrong if you don't explain why the answer is wrong and what the student can do to improve for the next time.
Patience
The most important skill any teacher can have is patience. There will be times when students drive you mad, but you can never allow your emotions to get the better of you. Not in front of the students, anyway.
The Journey! A blog that follows a journey from redundancy into a year of teacher training that led on to a challenging and far from ideal 1st teaching experience but which then subsequently resulted in a move in to the best teaching jobs in the world . . . .

- No words can explain how deeply people want to connect with each other. How much pain they will suffer trying to be accepted, to be valued and to be loved. The yearning to be wanted is probably the most trauma that some individuals will ever inflict up on themselves. No matter race, colour, creed, sexual orientation, religion, culture, gender, age or any other factor, what everyone wants is to belong, to connect, to be loved. It is so easy to reach out to someone yet, for some it is the most difficult thing to find someone to connect to. Reach out to those you meet in your daily march. You just never know whose life you might touch, what spark, even unknowingly, you may make.
