Teaching as a Profession.
Teacher�s skills and attitudes influence everything that happens in their classrooms. During the years that young people spend in school, teachers are among the most important people in their lives. Good teachers know their subjects and understand the material that they are teaching. They present lessons in creative ways that help students of different ability levels and learning styles master the material.
Teachers often help students as much by personal example as they do by offering instruction. Students who see their teachers demonstrate patience, trustworthiness, attention to work and love of learning may be encouraged to develop similar qualities in themselves. Students may also accept assistance more readily from a teacher whom they respect and admire.
For elementary and high school teachers, practical day to day aspects of their jobs include preparing to teach classes, guiding and assisting student learning, checking student progress and duties outside the classroom.

Becoming a Teacher.
A person who wants to become a teacher should like people and get satisfaction from helping them succeed. Good teachers have a thorough knowledge of the subjects they teach and know how to make these subjects interesting. They speak and write effectively and enjoy communicating. The best teachers make learning enjoyable for all their students. They realize that some students find learning difficult and that such students require extra patience and steady encouragement.
Most countries also require teachers to have certain types of education and professional certification. The requirements vary from country to country. After completing their study, the must gain certification.

Teacher training programs.
Almost all teacher training programs in the United States and Canada are offered at general colleges or universities. Most U.S. teacher training programs include three main types of courses, general education courses, also called liberal arts, professional teaching courses and advanced courses in a particular area of study, such as English or Mathematics. The National Council for accreditation of Teacher Education accredits many U.S. programs. Canada�s teacher training programs are similar to those in the United States.
During the first two years in college, teachers in training take general education courses in many areas of study. General education requirements might include courses in history, foreign languages, mathematics, sciences and computer science. These courses provide basic familiarity with many subjects. General courses also develop intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and the ability to express ideas effectively.
During their second two years, teaching students begin to take professional training courses in such subjects as child development and instructional methods. Also during their second two years, most teaching students specialize in a particular subject called the major subject. Many students choose the area in which they plan to teach for example, history, mathematics or biology as their major subject.
At one time, many teaching students majored in education and had no specialized area of study except for their professional training courses. But school districts now prefer to hire teachers who have majored in a particular subject.
During their final year of training, aspiring teachers perform student teaching. In student teaching, a trainee teaches classes under the guidance of an experienced teacher. Some programs require education majors to complete a student internship during their final year.
