Efficacy

Efficacy is imperative to a teacher's development. This is what motivates the students to do as the teacher does. If the students see the teacher working hard then they will mimic what they see. This creates a classroom where work is rewarded and becomes a more efficient, sustainable atmosphere. This all starts with the teacher and the way they view their own work ethic. The best way to develop this trait is to make it a habit. Every time you do certain things make sure to follow up on them later on. This will create a pattern that can be followed. Since we are creatures of habit we easily do things after they happen several times in a predictable way. This way the students also know what to expect from the teacher.
