Familiarity with educational technology tools, hands-on science kits, and basic classroom management software is typically required. Strong communication, creativity, and patience help engage students and foster a positive learning environment. These skills and qualifications are crucial for delivering effective, engaging lessons that inspire students and maintain a safe, supportive classroom.
