3. 1. Knowledge of the subject matter
You can’t teach what you don’t know.
So a teacher must be master of his
subject. Any weakness on his part will
decrease his prestige, in the eyes of his
students. Besides, he must love his
subject and continue building his
understandings of his subject throughout
his career.

4. 2. Patience
• No teacher should be expected to have
much patience with individuals whose lack
of discipline, immaturity, or indolence
interrupts the work of other students.
Patience with students who are trying to
learn, however, is part and parcel of the
teaching profession. Impatience with
sincere students is an indication of the
teacher’s own shortcomings

5. 3. Intellectual curiosity
• All good teachers are intellectually curious
and naturally driven by their interests in
keeping abreast of changes in their fields.

thoughts on what their students should

from their presentations.
