There are three major characteristics that a good teacher needs::
* Good Interpersonal Relations
1. Promotes student sharing and collaboration
and group work in the classroom. A good teacher knows that students must take responsibility for their own learning and therefore encourages them to contribute to the class experience.
2. Classroom management
Effective classroom management is an essential part of a good teacher's role. Discipline has to be dealt with along with personality conflicts. Establish rules and expectations the first day. The rules should be clear, concise and administered fairly and consistently. Students need to take risks in order to learn, therefore the good teacher will create a comfortable, positive and secure classroom.
3. Good student and co-worker rapport
know and show concern for each student, not just those who are the brightest, the most vocal or with behavior problems.
Appearance is important as well. Never let students sense that you are angry, frustrated or confused and never openly get angry with students. Try to stay calm and relaxed.
* Relate to Students' Needs
In order for learning to take place the teacher must be able to help the student understand the purpose of the lesson and to relate to
reflect what is known about learning strategies. It is also important to promote self-learning skills in order for the student to be able to learn independently. There are social, psychological and personality factors that affect learning. The good teacher will be able to identify and respond to these individual student factors.
S/he will never belittle a student because everyone deserves
respect no matter what age. S/he will always look and act in control but will not threaten students.
* Professionalism
A teacher is a professional and needs to act accordingly. S/he is willing to seek and/or accept feedback from colleagues and
which help or hinder their development as a teacher.
As a professional the teacher will comply with the policies, procedures and requirements of the particular school in which s/he is teaching. Punctuality, reliability, appearance and behavior are all a part of professional conduct. Appropriate relations are to be maintained at all times with students, colleagues, the institution and the supervisor.
Teaching is hard work. The better prepared the teacher is, the better the outcome. College classes will prepare the teacher in the subject(s) to be taught, but experience is what it takes to become a really good teacher
Profile of a Successful Student
Throug I’d say there are certain characteristics that typically define the best students. They’re usually serious and meticulous, organized and plan ahead.
They also have a balanced, diverse, and vibrant lifestyle: they study hard, but they also exercise, get fresh air, socialize with friends, converse with parents, and do what they love. And they get up early, eat three meals a day, and sleepwell. In class, they listen carefully, and they ask questions.
This is all obvio usly good stuff, but I’d say the three most important
characteristics are self-control/discipline, focus, and patience – the best
students place long-term goals over instant gratification. These three
characteristics don’t just define a successful student – they also define a successful person. Students in the world’s best law and medical schools are nothing but disciplined, focused, and patient. In Texas Hold’em poker, these three characteristics distinguish the 10 percent of players who win money. In his book Moneyball, Michael Lewis argues that these three characteristics are also important traits among good baseball players (those who contribute the most to a team’s wins).

Students who are engaged and have an active role in
According to the North Central Regional Educational Laboratory, there is a strong
consensus on the role of the student in the classroom and the importance of engaged learning. Engaged learning should be fostered from the early years of a student's
academic career and should continue as he moves forward into the later years. In their article "Turning Teaching Into Learning: The Role of Student Responsibility in the
Collegiate Experience," Todd M. Davis and Patricia Hillman Murrell advise that student responsibility is the key to all development and learning. They indicate that research has shown college outcomes are tied to the effort students put into their work and the degree in which they are invested or engaged with their studies and campus life.
