Efficacy

As a teacher it is very important to be confident in everything you do. You need to be confident in how and what you are teaching. If you aren't sure of yourself and the way you are handling a classroom, your students will be aware of this. You need to be aware of the way you are presenting yourself to your classroom because without confidence the students could take advantage of you as a teacher and try to control you. Also, without confidence in your teaching your students may not respect you and you will have a hard time teaching them. Being an effective teacher takes a lot of time and effort. You need to believe in yourself and what your abilities in order to become an effective teacher. As a teacher you also need to have persistence. You cannot give up on yourself or your students at any time or in any situation. You need to let your students know that you believe in them and you aren't going to give up on them. Students can tell if a teacher doesn't like them or doesn't believe in them. You need to be aware of how you treat each of your students and believe that each student can succeed. If the student knows that you think they can succeed they will be more likely to believe it themselves and realize that it is important to work hard and learn. It is also very essential for a teacher to have a good work ethic. Teaching is not easy and it takes a lot of time and effort. You need to take time to prepare for classes, make homework assignments and grade them and also to try and be a part of the student's life by getting involved in the community. In order to be successful as a teacher you need to be willing to devote time and effort to your job and remember that the students are the most important part of your job.
