Efficacy

Being a confident teacher is always a good thing. Being self-aware is also a very good skill to master simply because you are able to easily recognize when you're doing something right and also when you're doing something wrong. This skill is crucial when teaching because if you realize you're doing something that works then keep doing it and when you're doing something wrong and recognize it, you stop. Thus becoming an efficient teacher which goes hand in hand with having good work ethic. I feel that a teacher with good work ethic uses his/her class time very wisely and effectively. They will never be doing a lesson "on the fly," nor will they have unstructered time. This is very crucial especially with younger aged students. Finally persistence is a great quality to have by itself, but with patience it will be highly effective. With this combination, you'll be able to keep hammering home key points or get after a student who doesn't do their homework. Through your persistence you'll get the students to accomplish what you want them too. The best way to learn and perfect these skills is simply through practice, patience, and persistance. With these skills, you will boost your efficacy level and be a great teacher.
