我想知道当一个老师每天需要做什么？最需要掌握的技能是什么？?
I want to know what a teacher needs to do every day? What skills are most important to master?
Although I am still a student who is about to take the high school entrance examination, I hope I can learn more about this profession first, which will definitely be of great help to my future career choice. I hope you can give me some advice!

Hi Alicia!
Teaching is a very noble and worthwhile profession!
The different tasks a teacher handles every day can vary according to the age and grade of your students. If you're working with younger children, you are teaching them their numbers, letters, how to write and read, count money, and how to tell time. In addition to these skills, you also help children with tying their shoelaces, listening, sharing, and cleaning up.
If you're working with older students (ages 10 and up), you're more than likely teaching a specific subject - English, Math, History, Science, Art, Music. If you are a subject specific teacher, then you're teaching your students about that particular topic. You may not have to assist with shoelaces, but you are still reinforcing listening skills, sharing, and being respectful to each other.
Regardless of the grade or subject that you teach, possessing strong listening, organizational, and speaking skills are all important qualities. It's also important to be patient, to understand that everyone learns differently, and that every child needs to feel supported and encouraged. Creativity and flexibility are also important characteristics to possess.
Best of luck to you!

Hi Alicia,
Teaching is an exciting journey that calls for patience, a positive attitude, kindness, and leadership. Your role is to guide your students forward, no matter the subject. Listening and understanding their needs is key.
Being creative helps keep students interested. Learning to use different tech tools can make your classes more engaging. Think of yourself as a content creator as well as a teacher.
One modern approach is gamification, where learning happens through games. This is a great example of what teachers are doing today.
Remember, you're not starting from scratch. There's plenty of ready-made content to help you begin. Plus, with artificial intelligence, creating new materials is easier than ever.
