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.
