Abstract

This article describes the importance of three types of intelligence that should be possessed by teachers to transform themselves towards being „ideal‟ teachers. Three types of intelligence to be observed, adapted and applied by teachers to the students and society as a whole is the ability of: Cognitive integration of Intellectual Intelligence (IQ), Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and Spiritual Intelligence (SQ). Combination of these three elements will ensure the success of a teacher to be a capable educator, not only in the classroom and the school environment, but also at wherever the teacher is being situates and interacting. IQ, EQ and SQ will raise the standards of the „perfect‟ teacher from an employee to a professional who is faithful to the performance of education, educational effectiveness and continuity of education. In addition, a professional teacher will become the symbol of the nation's education system and a new inspiration to the teaching career. The authors believe that such teacher transformation will only be realised if the IQ, EQ and SQ are fully given importance.
