Personal Qualities
This is a challenging course. To succeed, for both yourself and your pupils, you need determination and a commitment to education. A passion for your subject or phase is essential; a wide range of skills, knowledge, experiences - and an aptitude for teaching others, of course - all help.
Flexibility and independent problem-solving skills are crucial qualities.
Your capacity to form positive relationships with your pupils and colleagues is paramount in teaching, providing you with the emotional and practical support network you need under pressure.
