Kindergarten and elementary school teachers introduce children to the basics of math, language, social studies, science and the arts. They look for ways to help children learn, and try to instill good study habits and an appreciation for learning. Teachers also study the child's interactions with classmates, are aware of their social development, and discuss problems with parents.
Those considering elementary education as a career should be creative, dependable and patient, and should possess good communication skills. They should enjoy being directly involved in the educational and emotional development of children.
