In every civilization, culture, religion, region & nation one profession made its impact all through the ages, it is teaching. A teacher imparts knowledge to pupils and moulds them as able and competent individuals and at large society benefits.
Present day teaching professionals need to be a qualified teacher. Anyone, who wants to be a teacher, should get Academic qualification say, diplomas in teaching, Bachelors or Masters Degree or sometimes attending workshops and trainings, etc. However is it just a qualification the main criteria in teaching profession? Or there should be something else?
I think that answer is, a teacher is a person who, absolutely, has command over his subject and ability to make others understand it. Any relevant academic qualification can teach him or her techniques to teach, however a good teacher needs not just a good academic qualification, but in my opinion he or she should have a “talent” or you can call it as a “gift” to “feel” each and every child, to understand child’s psychology, to have good & clear communication with the children, honesty, ability to make his subject interesting to them, balance with different levels of grasping among children, and of course, patience.
Sometimes a well academically qualified teacher is indifferent to the inner world of the children, to their experiences and such a teacher has no place in school. So, it’s the personality or inherent aptitude that makes him/her as a good teacher.
