What soft skills should all Religious Educators possess?

The soft skills that are most valuable for a religious educator are creativity, people skills, and ambition. Creativity is essential as an educator as one is consistently building course material and developing new ways to present the material to an ever-changing demographic of students. People skills are also necessary. It is important to be an expert in one's field and to have skills in education but being able to relate to and work with students is essential. Students need to feel they can approach their professor and ask questions if necessary. Relating to one's students is an important part of higher education. Ambition is also necessary. Religious educators never stop being students themselves. It requires ambition to continue one's education and develop more knowledge and skills in the field of study. This may include furthering a degree, certifications, training, etc.
