Seven things come up again and again, ranked by how much they matter to a Board of Education:

- Commitment, meaning you finish the contract you sign

- Self-reliance with your own daily life and paperwork
- Some Japanese
- Knowing the ropes of how a school day runs
- Flexibility
Each one is written out in full, with the reasoning behind it, on the Get Hired page.
