Teaching skills are the hard and soft talents that enable a teacher to keep pupils interested. These abilities can also assist instructors in establishing themselves as educators and gaining the attention and respect of their students. Some teaching talents come easily to some people, while others may take work to acquire. However, no matter what level a person starts out on, it is always possible to improve one's teaching skills. The teaching talent is made up of three components: creativity, communication, and organization. Creativity involves the ability to think up new ways to teach topics so that they are interesting and relevant to your students. You can show creativity in the way you present lessons or projects, for example, by using different media, techniques, or activities. Creativity can also involve coming up with original methods for testing students' knowledge or understanding of concepts. There are many examples of teachers being given awards or prizes for their creative teaching. Communication involves the ability to explain complex ideas simply to non-literate individuals. You will need to be able to communicate clearly and accurately with your students so that they understand what you are trying to tell them. This ability is especially important when dealing with students who have learning disabilities or emotional problems. Organization means planning ahead and keeping track of details. This is particularly important when you are teaching more than one class period a day for several days in a row.
