Humility

Being wrong is a part of life.  People take learning that they are wrong in different ways, but the responsible thing to do is be humble, realize that they have made a mistake, and try to fix it.  This is an important skill for a teacher to have in their classroom. Humility is just as an important skill for a teacher to have as confidence.  A good teacher needs to be confident in their teaching ability, but they shouldn't be cocky.  They need to show that they know the subject they are teaching, but they can also accept that they can be wrong on occasion.  A teacher needs to realize that if their teaching style has a flaw, they need to be humble and find that flaw in their teaching and fix it so the student can learn efficiently and successfully.

Efficacy

Teachers don't only need to be able to teach their subject, but they must also be effective at teaching their subject. Two things that seem to go together in being an effective teacher is one's self-awareness and belief in one's ability.  A teacher needs to be aware of themselves, and what they are teaching.  They also have to believe in themselves and be confident in their teaching, because if the teacher isn't confident in what they are teaching, how can one expect the student to be confident in their learning ability.  Along with confidence, a teacher must be persistent on the child's responsibility as a student.  All of these skills create better teachers, which in turn creates better students.
