Deep knowledge about learning and a passion for education and schools
An important characteristic of a good teacher is their knowledge and passion for our work. That they can create clear and well thought through objectives for learning with great use of information and data about students. They should have a passion for their discipline, along with the value adding that schools make in the lives of children.
Friendliness, rapport and congeniality with students
We think an important characteristic of a good teacher is to be friendly and congenial with their students and inspire them to engage and learn and be the best they can be. We want teachers who respect their students and students who respect their teachers. We are interested in great rapport in our school.
A good communicator and listener
One of the very important characteristics of a good teacher is their communication skills. A good teacher is the one who has a sense of humour, strong communication skills and an individual personality – and this is meant in the broader sense. We want our school to have outgoing teachers and quieter teachers, we know they will all add something to our school. They can also maintain the discipline, productivity and focus in their class. They should also be active listeners, and care about positive relationships.
Kindness
Our view is that a teacher should be kind and be a compassionate person.
