The purpose of this study was to develop a model of the characteristics and competencies of the teacher based on the upstream documents of education with a combination of quantitative and qualitative research method. The population of this study was all second-level teachers working in public high schools in Babol. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 53 questions in a 5-point Likert scale, which was adjusted using the Delphi method. Also, using the exploratory factor analysis and verifying the validity of the construct, the questionnaire was determined and 8 subscales were obtained which included Values, knowledge, motivations, health, abilities, hobbies, beliefs and moral qualities. The results of the composite reliability test for eight factors showed that this coefficient ranged from 0/70 to 0/94, indicating a favorable reliability for these factors. Also, the results of the internal consistency analysis of these 8 sub-scales showed that these coefficients ranged from 0/65 to 0/83 and the construct validity was 85/0. As the results of the model showed that all paths leading to the teacher's suitability pattern were positive and significant. The results also showed that among all eight factors of teacher's competency model, values, knowledge, motivations, health, abilities, pleasures, beliefs and moral qualities, respectively, had the highest factor load and factor weight on the factor The second rank showed the teacher's suitability pattern. Based on the results, teachers' beliefs and beliefs about teacher education, because they can be the driving force behind the rest of the factors, showed a higher factor load in the teacher's suitability model.
