of schooling also changes. The

We live in highly advance times – the digital age so
to speak. Teachers cannot afford to be
technologically unaware anymore. In the last few
year educational technology has grown by leaps and
bounds. So only basic knowledge will not be enough
either. The teacher should know the ins-and-outs of
all their digital tools and programs.

One of the most important teaching skills a
modern teacher needs to develop is creativity
and a creative imagination. To keep the
students engaged a teacher must approach the
study material in creative ways. We have already
seen some creative teaching skills like visual
thinking strategies.

One of the most essential quality or attribute of a good
teacher is the abundance of patience. This has been true
since the beginning of education but never has it been
more important. In these hectic times, where students
can often be tough to handle due to the amount of
stress they face themselves, patience will be the biggest
tool in a teachers armor. And sometimes classrooms can
get a bit repetitive and boring and patience is important.

Teachers also need to ably
communicate with the parents, the
other teachers and staff as well.
Teachers need to be clear and concise
in their communication and also always
keep the line of communication open
for all students and parents.

Educators have to cover huge syllabuses over one
academic year. So they have to plan their lessons
very carefully. Hence, one of the teaching skills they
need to perfect is time management and
organization. Staying on schedule and perfecting
your schedule will go a long way in covering the
whole syllabus efficiently.

Continual Learning and Updating
I One never stops learning in life. And this is
especially true for teachers and educators.
Teachers must stay up to date with their
knowledge and keep revising their lessons.
So teachers need to attend workshops,
seminars and use online courses and keep
learning.

Adaptibility
Today’s educational environment is very
dynamic and ever-changing. The pressure
on the students as well as the teachers is
very intense. Hence all modern teachers
must have the ability to adapt on the go.
They need to learn new teaching styles,
learn new skills, adapt their lesson plans
and keep up with the schedule, and so
adaptability is key.
