The first one is cognitive abilities with seven concepts, the second category is behavioral abilities with five concepts and the third category is social abilities with six concepts.These three categories of abilities are prerequisites for entrance to the profession of teacher educators and reaching to the professional development. Training professional teacher educators can lead to upbringing human capital, which is a beginning step towards the change of the educational system of the country.
