Showing Patience- Among all professions, teacher is the most patient among all and he should be
patient to ensure success of his career and his pupils under his guidance and care. When the pupils
are motivated, the lesson material strikes a chord and the atmosphere is good, teaching can be the
best job in the world. Other days though things won’t go so smoothly. When students are having
trouble, pull back and try to find a way around the difficulty. Could a teacher present the material
in a more accessible manner? If it’s a grammar issue, would slowing it down and giving more
examples help?

If it’s a classroom management issue, have the students understood instructions properly? If not,
can teacher make the instructions simpler? If frustration is evident, would doing rather than telling
help to change the mood?
Whatever the situation, an irritated teacher will only make things worse. Be patient.
Understanding, encouragement and a willingness to change the script when necessary will allow
teachers to cope with most classroom difficulties.

multimedia aids sorted out, it’s also about understanding the lesson material and knowing how
teachers are going to implement it. A teacher should have the lesson plan on paper or in his head
and make sure that he will get all the materials he needs where he needs them.
Few things scream ‘panic!’ more than a long streak of teacher frantically rummaging through
books and bags at the last minute. Organization allows a teacher to assume an air of calmness, and
everyone feels more comfortable with a teacher who appears to be in control.
Note that while a fortunate few can wing lessons with confidence, this is because they have taught
before, know the patterns and can improvise on them. Not many of us can count on being able to
display such virtuosity when we are just starting out, so don’t try to.
To be organized, teachers must have some activities in reserve for the back end of the lesson. It
can be hard work if they have finished all of their prepared material ten minutes ahead of time.
Being God-fearing- A teacher who fears God is spiritually motivated; and has a transformed
character who reflects the image of Christ in his life. He is a model of character. To be Christ-like,
a teacher normally avoids to be absent or late or to be impatient or disorganized and sad. He

manifests the character of Christ of being punctual, patient, organized, happy, committed and
dedicated to his chosen profession. He does his job to the best that he can do.
