Qualities of a good teacher-by Anoosha

Qualities of a Good Teacher

As we all know a teacher plays the main role in the education of a new generation in a society because she transfers her knowledge and expertise to others. In my opinion the qualities of a good teacher are as follows:

A teacher at least should try to know the strengths and weaknesses of her students. She should behave politely, friendly and respectfully so that the students feel free to share their problems with their teachers. A good teacher should have a strong command on the subject which she teaches and should be keen to learn general knowledge so that she would be able to answer any questions of students. A good teacher should always give equal attention to all students so that no student feels ignored. A good teacher should make students focus of the learning process. A successful teacher should know the modern teaching techniques such as role plays, group work and peer work. As a result a good teacher can make a healthy society.

At the end I would like to say that a good teacher is like a candle which burns itself and gives light to others.
