Primary school teachers give students the best start in life and there’s no question that it takes more than educational qualifications to get this right! Nurturing young minds every day takes passion, determination and a certain type of personality…
Research shows that 4 in 5 primary school teachers are women and about a third of them are 30 or under, but what else do we know about them? It’s a profession that requires a special set of skills, that’s why Edustaff have created a fun and light-hearted infographic detailing the anatomy of a teacher.
Some of the characteristics are:
An academic brain – A teacher’s mind works in mysterious ways but what we do know is that the vast majority have an academic brain, with 96 per cent educated to degree level or higher.
Quick Witted – if you’re a primary school teacher you need to be quick witted. Don’t be caught out by a sharp student – know your spellings and sums to avoid any embarrassing moments.
Creative – A creative mind can go a long way at primary school. How do you make grammar fun? You will need tons of ideas to keep lessons interesting and engaging.
Stamina – Every teacher knows that the working day doesn’t finish when the school bell rings. You have lots of planning and prepping to do before you can unwind but it’s totally worth it!
The full guide tells you everything you need to know to be a great educator in this challenging and exciting profession. Brush up on your skills and take a look!
