Characteristics Of A Good Teacher




Every teacher likes to be a great and professional in her classroom. It is somehow difficult for the teachers to be good teachers all the times in the classes because being perfect all the times is not something that is easy. Perfection comes when the teacher is highly educated and love what she is and the position that she has. To be a great and perfect teacher you should have some characteristics that allow you to be great in your classrooms. 
Some of the characteristics that the teacher should have are:
  • Friendliness and congeniality: as a teacher you should show your students love and always care for them and show them that you are friends with them. 
  • A good personality: when the teacher has a good personality, the students will feel that they are safe and not afraid. Having a teacher that has a good personality which means the teacher may listen to the students, and she may feel with them, this may help the students and the teachers to interact in a good way in the class. 
  • Good listener: in order to be a good teacher, you have to be a good listener. If the teacher listens for the students so she is showing that they are important according to her. 
  • The teacher should be kind as much as she can with the students. Kindness is a characteristic that all of the teachers should have. If the teacher is kind, she would be beloved form the students. 
  • The teacher should have high expectations for all of the students.
  • The teacher should be good communicator which means that she knows when she speak and knows when she let the students speak. She should give time for the students to speak in the class.
If the teacher has at least two of these characteristics, she would be a great teacher inside the classroom.
