There are four competencies that must be possesed by teacher. So what are those? Pedagogy, Professional, Personality, and Social. Now, let talk about the pedagogy first, this competency is needed to read the characteristic of students, through this competency, teacher easily understand the needs, the backgrounds and interests of individual students. These must be taken a consideration if we want to create the quality of teaching learning. Teacher must know how to deal with student characteristic along with assesment on why the students behave inappropriately. Pedagogy is also the discipline that deals with the theory and practice of teaching. In pedagogy, the teachers inform teaching strategies, methods and teacher actions toward the theories of learning.

The second competency is professional. What is professional? In general context professional is related to a profession or any person who deal with their job or profession. Profesional also describes the standards of education and training that prepare the teacher to really understand their profesionalism as the particular knowledge and skills necessary to perform their specific role within that profession. The professional works along with determination to make the educational goal is reached. This second competency is strongly encouraged to be possesed by all teachers.

The third is personality. So why the teacher needs to have personality. Good personality will take the student to the right way. Basically, the personality can be defined as the way to interact with the circumstance and other individuals. It means the teachers must be good interactive person in their work field. They know how to behave with their partners and students will be then examplified by students. Throught personality, the teacher can be good example for students and know how to deal with such different circumstance.

The last competency is social. This competency builds a capacity how to deal with social things, teachers must be sensitive to the problem around. Teacher can not work alone, they need other individuals around the school in order to control students' activity at school. Teachers must work with society to encourage the students to study and to learn new things in society. Here, the teacher must have good access to the society. It is possible to hold a meeting with students' parent to discuss the development of students and find the ways to enhance the school capacity toward society development. Social competence also reflects the capacity of teacher to take another's perspective or idea concerning a situation.

Those competencies are strongly needed to produce quality teacher in teaching field. It is obsolutey required a full-heart acceptance of change. The best teachers are not created to be a passive personality but they have to become energetic persons to faciliate, motivate, and educate their students to be a true agents of change.
