A general teacher refers to a teacher who has a variety of teaching knowledge and can cover a wide range of education and teaching contents. Ordinary teachers need to master not only the curriculum knowledge of each subject, but also the teaching methods and psychological characteristics of different grades and different student groups. In addition, general teachers need to have higher comprehensive qualities, such as communication ability, organizational ability and management ability, so as to better guide students.

General teacher is a new teaching form in the current educational reform. Traditionally, the education department often has a clear division of labor, and the teaching division of various disciplines is clear, and teachers are also deeply involved in their respective fields. However, with the development trend of multi-disciplinary integration in the field of education, general practitioners will become an important force in the future education field.

In the reform and development of education, the demand for general practitioners is becoming more and more obvious. At present, the training mode and mechanism of general practice teachers are gradually improving. For students, compared with traditional single-subject teachers, there are more general-subject teachers in teaching, which is helpful for students to develop their own quality and ability in an all-round way and better adapt to the changes in future study and living environment.
