various SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES to BE DEVELOPED ON THE PART OF STUDENT TEACHERS

 

Effective communication skills



 Communication involves both listening and speaking ,as well as reading and writing.

 Teachers should really be skilled in all these areas  for effective communication.

 Since teachers communicate orally in the classroom daily, they need to make sure their messages are clear to students

 All learners take in information differently, teachers need to implement different communication skills which motivate and engage students in their learning process

Communication is necessary and holds high importance in delivery of instruction, classroom management


Collaboration with co -workers


Professional learning communities are a wonderful and prevalent way to give teachers opportunities to communicate , review items , and collaborate as a team.

 These are meetings among the whole team that are usually on a weekly basis to discuss concerns, student achievement, data pieces, updates and more.

 Effective teacher collaboration is essential for stronger practice and higher student achievement.

Teachers can work in teams , co-teach, share responsibilities, provide feedback collectively, and build a better sense of trust among their learners through collaboration

.

   Creative thinking

 

 

 The first way to foster creativity is to model it for students.

This can be done through discussions and demonstrations , as well as project-based learning.

Through doing so, teachers can also encourage multiple viewpoints and highlight diversity .

  If there students from different backgrounds, this should be brought to light and embraced among discussions seachers can foster creative thinking by helping students see their own ability levels, having them form questions about assumptions and beliefs, encourage problem solving, and continue to read frequently.

       Ability to adapt

 

Adaptability in the classroom is one of the most important qualities that every teacher must possess .This also goes along with flexibility.

Last minute changes may also be needed based on certain situations in the classroom.

This may be harder for some teachers than for others.

In general, this idea is simply being able to acclimate yourself to changing roles, job responsibilities, materials, and schedules.

  Effective organization skills

Teachers  always need to be  organized .

 Organizational skills relate to planning , lesson design, time management, classroom management, and more.

As far as the planning stage, teachers need to be organized in a sense that they need to know how to time planning, what and how to plan, and execute it.

 For lesson design teachers, need to know what lessons they are planning and ensure they are on with pacing appropriately.

 

Devotion and strong work ethic

 Teachers need to show their devotion and strong work ethic through their work.

They need to invest not only in their students just for their career, but in their students as individuals.

Teachers need to stay motivated, focused, and on top of work tasks. Teachers also need to establish solid, trusting relationships with their students from the very start of the school year.

This can be built upon and strengthened all throughout the school year.

 

Knowledge in the field

 Teachers need to be knowledgeable in the field of education.

 This includes staying up to date on research, attending meetings and professional development, and immersing themselves in their knowledge with their teaching practise .

Teachers need to stay current in the world of education research on various topics

These types of knowledge include content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge and curricular knowledge.

Patience

Patience is one of those inherent character traits-but it is possible to improve yours.

practise thinking before you speak, .

If you have to explain something seven times in seven different ways before it sticks, that’s just part of the job.And when faced with challenging behaviour, you need to stay calm and patient and not lose your temper.

 

Various competencies to be developed on the part of student teachers


Interacting well with students

 

Educators must be able to positively interact with all students.

This includes difficult students, students who work below grade-level and students whose personalities just grate on a teacher. 

Teachers must put aside their prejudices and feelings in order to treat all students with respect, provide them with equal opportunities for learning and make them feel

 

Creating a learning environment

   Creating a safe learning environment that is conducive to  learning is essential.

 Educators must set high expectations for student performance and behaviour.

 All rules must be enforced consistently and fairly. 

Students should not have to worry about being bullied in the classroom and should feel comfortable when speaking up.

 

Good at lesson plan design 

 All educators must be capable of designing lesson plan to meet student needs and cover the standards.

This requires knowing how to choose and create instructional materials to accommodate students at different levels.

It also requires creating a scope and sequence that provides students with enough time to master  the standards.

 Able to varied teaching strategies

 Best practices and other appropriate teaching strategies allow competent educators to effectively teach the curriculum.

Competent educators may lecture, but they also incorporate a variety of strategies, including non-traditional teaching strategies, to help students with multiple learning styles learn and stay engaged.

Educators also attend regular professional development

 

Maintaining a professional appearance

 Being an educator requires maintaining a professional appearance at all times.

This includes dressing appropriately and acting professionally.

 Educators often serve as role models for students.

Actions such as using foul language, gossiping about teachers and students or dressing inappropriately can cause students to lose respect for an educator
