Teaching as they say is a noble profession but it is quite challenging too. Teachers' training basically refers to all of the procedures and policies involved with being a teacher so that you get the basic knowledge and teaching skills required that will help to develop your teaching capabilities. A teacher plays a key role in the all-around development of an individual especially when they are in an impressionable age.

A teacher has to have the passion to teach and be a great mentor and visionary for his students. A teacher should have the qualities of a good worker, good communication skills and has to have the knowledge of the subject he is teaching. He should be sensitive towards his student's queries and help them understand and gain knowledge of the subjects taught. Communication, patience and dedication are the key factors of being a good teacher. Making lesson plans, mentoring the students, explaining concepts, and devising innovative teaching strategies are part of this profession. They also need to motivate students, organize competitions, and accompany them on school trips.

The first requirement to be eligible for this course is to be a high school graduate. Individuals from any disciplinary background can seek a career in teaching. A teacher will have to undergo a teachers training course which is mandatory for the teachers to learn the skills of being a teacher. Teacher's training is a course that any prospective teacher will have to undergo. He is taught various developmental skills and is given a course before he can enter a classroom to impart education to students.



Other basic skills required are a knack for handling queries and the enthusiasm of students who are constantly learning. Along with this certain qualities like patience, tolerance, communication and interaction are important.

A teacher will always face constant development in his profession. It takes experience to be a good teacher and this includes training. As he/she continues to teach for years, the teacher gains experience and diligence. This process of continuous development will help the teachers recognise their competence and find ways of enhancing it.

A teacher will have to have some experience in this field (unless the job is a first) to be qualified as a teacher. If he wants to teach in a college, he should have the experience of teaching at the school level first. This will improve his prospects as a teacher in the future and he will gain experience as he learns.

The career prospects for teachers have always been a bright one. We must understand that once the teacher's training certificate (TTC) is done, the teacher will have the capabilities and knowledge of being a teacher. It will take a long time, maybe a few years, to gain the experience of being a good teacher. It is a teacher who has the most significant effect on our growing years and they are like mentors. When educating his students he is educating himself as well and gains experience.

The salaries of teachers have always been a problem for some. A teacher in today's world is not paid the correct remuneration he deserves. This has caused the reduction of teachers in the educational sector which poses as a future obstacle for education.

However, there has been a recent improvement in the payment of salaries for teachers and this has helped in saving the educational system in many countries. Good remuneration, insurance, medical facilities and bonuses have been granted to teachers. The average median salary that a teacher draws is around $46,000. This is a positive sign when it comes to safeguarding education and keeping the teachers in the correct line of profession.

There are various teacher training schools and teacher's training colleges that offer training and educate these individuals to become teachers in schools and colleges. The aspiring candidate need to posses the required qualifications and knowledge to become a successful teacher. This is a great line of profession to take up which takes years to gain experience. But it is quite a wholesome experience for those who opt for it with a view to impart education and influence young minds.
