Personality traits and qualifications of a special class teacher

This study was concerned with the personality traits of a special classroom teacher. The most important person in the classroom in terms of determining what kinds of experiences children will have, is the teacher. Most of what goes on in the classroom or in a school situation outside the classroom is with direct or indirect reference to the teacher. This writer investigated the following questions: (1) What are the personality traits and qualifications of a special classroom teacher? (2) What basic qualities of good teaching are more in demand in a special education classroom than in a regular classroom? (3) Are the personality traits of teachers in special education situations really different or is the difference confined to the way in which the individual teacher utilizes these qualities
