1. explain that knowing themselves can make persons accept


their strengths and limitations and deal with others

Every teacher wants to be good, but what exactly are the qualities that make
a good teacher? What are the skills, talents, and characteristics, and can
they be taught or learned?
MODULE: PROFED01- THE TEACHING PROFESSION

Teaching can be quite satisfying for people who do it well. I know this because I
am a teacher, too. Although I do not think I'm always the best teacher, do I
know that the majority of my students love me, and I guess this is partly why
good things happen in my classroom.
I have spent a lot of time thinking about—and done a lot of research into—the
question of what characteristics make a teacher effective and how I can
succeed in the classroom. Although every great teacher has their own special,
unique style, I have found that there are nine specific universal qualities that
are necessary for anyone who wants to teach effectively, whether they want to
teach in an elementary school or a university. If any teacher possesses the
following characteristics and qualities, he/she can become a very good teacher
with large fan base.

What Makes a Great Teacher


 expert communication skills
 superior listening skills
 deep knowledge and passion for their subject matter
 the ability to build caring relationships with students
 friendliness and approachability
 excellent preparation and organization skills
 strong work ethic
 community-building skills
 high expectations for all
Each of these characteristics is described fully below. Although great teachers
may also possess a number of other wonderful qualities (like a sense of humor,
personality, flexibility, kindness, leadership, classroom management, a calm
demeanor, experience, and the ability to multitask), these are the qualities the
best teachers universally possess.

Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.
