Just be you:
1. You must enjoy being with children.
2. You must enjoy the subject you teach.
3. You need a logical mind.
4. You must understand how children learn.
5. You must be enthusiastic, and knowledgeable about your subject, if you`re not, then you can hardly expect your pupils to be.
6. You must be organised and efficient, with work prepared, and all work set must be marked.
7. You must be able to control, motivate, and inspire children to do their best at all times.
8. You must be patient, and be prepared to explain topics slowly, thoroughly, and in as many different ways as possible.
9. You need the "indefinable presence" which marks you out as a person who children naturally respect and admire.
10. You must always set an example of how to behave, in your dealings with the children, and with other teaching staff. Your lessons must always be well prepared, well organised, interesting, and delivered confidently.
