*GENERAL PERSONALITY TRAITS FOR TEACHERS REQUIRED 1) Have a strong enough personality to command the classroom. Teachers need gumption in order to survive. 2) Maintain their stability. There will be times when teachers will be frustrated at parents, administrators, students and so on. Good teachers are able to successfully resist this urge. 3) Have a sense of humor. Research has consistently shown that good teachers have a sense of humor, and that they are able to use humor as part of their teaching methods. Humor, used properly, can be a powerful addition to any lesson. 4) Enjoy working with people, especially students in the age range in which they intend to teach. Most teachers choose an area of specialization such as elementary education, special education, secondary education, or higher education because they have a temperament for students in those age ranges. 5) Have "common sense." They can size up a situation quickly and make an appropriate decision. Whether managing a classroom, seamlessly shifting from one instructional procedure to another, assigning homework, supervising an intern, or dealing with policy and curriculum issues. 6) Have a command of the content they teach. For K-6 teachers, that means having knowledge of a broad range of content in sufficient depth to convey the information in meaningful ways to the students. For Middle School to High School teachers, it means having an in-depth command of one or two specific content areas such as mathematics or biology. 7) Set high expectations for oneself. If teachers set high expectations for students, they must demand the same of themselves. 8) Organized and detail oriented. Teaching requires good preparation and organization in the head to be able to teach well. 9) Good managers of time. Time is one of the most precious resources a teacher has. Good teachers have learned to use this resource wisely. 10) Flexibility in ability to lead and follow, as the situation demands. Sometimes, teachers must be members of committees, groups, councils, and task forces. Having the temperament to function in these capacities is extremely important. At other times, teachers assume leadership roles. Be sure you are comfortable being a leader or a follower, because sooner or later, you will be called on to function in those roles. 11) Follow though on improving every time. This applies to everything. We want people who can learn to teach - they don't have to be amazing teachers now. We want those who have the potential. You learn to teach by teaching, by making mistakes, learning from them and improving. The purpose of a teacher education program is to get teachers as ready as possible to learn how to teach by subjecting teachers to a variety of methods and experiences that have a basis in tradition and research. 12) Good at explaining things. Being comfortable with explaining content to students is an essential skill for teachers, regardless of the subject or grade level. Additional preferred personality traits of K-6 Teachers:
