What are the key traits to TESOL teacher?

There is no job as noble as teaching. It is especially true when it comes to being a specialeducation teacher. To be a teacher means to be a role model whom the children look up

to and thrive to become like one in terms of principles, behaviours, inspiration etc.Have

you been wandering what will keep you floating in the world of special education

teaching? Surely, you need to possess a few tricks up your sleeve. We are here with five

top traits that we believe must be in you in order to excel in this job.

1.Being calm and composed

Being in a class full of children with special needs, various disabilities can often take its toll on your nerves and it is quite easy for you to lose your temper. But that is not going to take you anywhere. So, a special education teacher needs to be calm and composed behaviourally in a classroom environment.

2.Being organised

Being highly organised is something that is a must if you are eyeing being a special ed teacher as a job.   As we already mentioned, the classroom environment can very often turn

out to be challenging. Maintaining an orderly atmosphere there is a trait that can help you go a long way.Colour coordination is something that attracts children with special abilities and encourages them to do what is being asked of them. Lining up folders in a colour

coded way or marking the important things in bright and eyecatching manner is sure to engage the children in a positive way.

3.Attentive towards detail

There are some traits that no teacher training institute is going to teach you and you need to have them in you. One of these is detailoriented trait. This is particularly important in this field of work for you have to give rapt attention towards even the minute details of your learners.Your assessment of the children in your class will be inclusive of both formal and informal. This is exactly why you have to be extra careful about details. In fact as you come across vacancies and eligibility criteria listed in the ad, you will find “attentive to details” positioned around the top of the list.

4.High on intuition

As you have to deal with children who might find it difficult to communicate what they wish to. Thus, the importance of intuition on your part. Frustration will set in among them and eventually they will break down weighed down by confusion and inability to express themselves.In addition to professional training from teacher training course, you need this trait for matching the communication skill level of the children. Before they start to withdraw you have to get an understanding of what they want to convey.

Implementing this, you will be able to identify what exactly is causing the distress among the learners or whether there is any other underlying reason behind the behaviour they are exhibiting.

5.Creative skill

Innovativeness and creativity, though we mention it at last, but they are certainly not the least. Remember, the attention span of the learners you teach is not like everyone else in a mainstream classroom. So, you have to be creative in planning lessons and delivering them in various ways to ensure they remain attentive.
