What Makes a theacher a great one ??

i have seen some great teachers. i have seen some great relief teachers. i have seen some terrible teaacher too, but luckily they are far and few between. what i have found is that they have ten things in common. what are they??? that is the key question.
people have been discussing this topic for hundreds of years.
"A Great Teacher Won't Be Great If You Just Walk On Your Weakness". You have to identify your strengths.
What makes a teacher great has been the focus of  many academy exercises.

This is not one of them. I am not sure you could find academyc details by searching the internet. These are just my observations from my experience.

1. A teacher who is great has an unrelenting attitude toward kids achieving results. Notice the word "Unrelenting". That's the same message that kids get. They are prety astute. They know whether you are there to fill in teh day or value add to theirs. If it's the latter, you will have fewer problems with the kids.

2. A great teacher build aon relationships.  Relationship is educatio's equivalent of the Real Estate "potition, potition, potition" catchcry. Great teacher have empaty with and understanding of student needs.

3. A teacher who is great is organised. Casual and relief teachers must have a day set out if there are interruptions. Show the students you program. Student usually work when the teacher do as well..

4. A great teacher is a great sharer. Sharing and receiving goods idea is what keeps school and education dynamic. Be a sharer and accept sharing dorm others.  A colliegate network makes professionals.

5. A teacher who is great is firm but flexible.  surprisingly, they seldom need to raise their voice because student know that their prime purpose is to value add to their day. Don't get me wrong, a school day is seldom without drama, but a great teacher uses authority to bring order rather than aggression.

6. A great teacher gives clear unambiquous directions. Remember the KISS principle. Keep things simple.

7. They have high expectation. this goes for work, complians, standart. Students will rise (or fall) to the standart set by the teacher.

8. Great teacher engage student in learning. the reality is that engaged students learn. these teachers have the skill of engaging students in learning rather than teaching TO them.

9. they know that positives out perform punishment. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

10. they are focussed.they keep what is  most importan well. MOST important. they aren't distracted from their single goal - whatever the goal is at the time.
