We did some professional development in the area of Teacher Training at the end of last year as our school runs the Trinity CertTESOL and Diploma courses.  These were some of the things which we identified as being necessary for a teacher trainer:

• organisation
• tact
• patience
• clarity
• an awareness of detail and the bigger picture
• note-taking skills
• legible handwriting
• approachability
• flexibility
• empathy
• personality management
• time management
