Teaching is not just transmiting accurate knowledge! Many people study a teaching career because they are short-duration and in order to get a job quickly. I think that it is the worst mistake you can make. Not only is wrong because you have to do what your heart tells you but also because it is not like any other job, you are in charge of people's learning processes/education. Moreover, if you do not really love what you do every day you wil not do it well at all. As teachers educate human beings not things, they should maintain their passion for doing it. There are simple ways of doing this:
*Being constantly informed, especialised or curious;
*Being flexible and open-minded;
*having fun in your classes, why not a bit of humour?
*learning from your students;
*being open to changes and innovation;
*considering each student unique;
*being a connected educator;
*and the most important, believing that you are making a difference in your students'lives.
Finally, it is worth to say that to educate is necessary to cause emotion, creating a positive atmosphere which motivates your students to feel comfortable in your classes; surprising in order to create curiosity taking into account that the learning process depends on people's emotional state.
