Having something to offer - and a love of the subject. You're not there to babysit, nor to star in your own show nor even to impart knowledge. You are there for the sole purpose of uploading extra thinking routines - so they have additional ways of looking at the world and in doing so broaden their horizons. If along the way some of your students find out what they are best at -that's a bonus.

An effective teacher needs to have read DR A GEENS Effective Teaching in the 21st century, uwic press. Then after taking on board all the good advice and practises, remember it is the ability to communicate to students from all walks of life, no matter what race, or creed, respect the students, inspire and motivate through relations with both student and parents as well as other teaching staff. Thorough lesson plans and plenty of feedback. Remember have fun
