These include:
· being good at explaining things to others
· being a people person and enjoy studying with a wide range
of people

· being a good time manager
· ability to teach in a team as well as using your own

· keeping your forgiveness
· keeping your honesty

· Understanding of the role of the school and value of education
· Understanding that being a “great teacher” is a constant
struggle to always improve.
· Know what you teach and how to teach. “First, and most
necessary of all ... he must know what he teaches and how he teaches.
Good teachers know that by listening
to and working with colleagues, parents, other professionals and community
members that they can inspire students and improve their learning. Even though
an instructor may be able to deliver the lesson adequately enough to cover the
essential points to achieve the objectives, the fact that the instructor has
only rudimentary knowledge of the subject area may be exposed and adversely
affect the student’s capacity for learning. Like what you teach. If you enjoy
the subject matter, it will be easy to teach, and your teaching style will be
more motivated, energetic, and effective.
We try to impress a thing on others.
We may do it by words or by deeds. But the effect in both cases is not the
same. We may give advice to others to do certain things. We may speak of many
noble qualities. We may tell people that they should acquire those qualities.
It may or may not have effect. But if we have those qualities ourselves, our
advice will be more effective. An orator may ask the people to sacrifice their
lives for the good of the country. His inspiring speech may produce some effect
but it does not last long. If the orator himself does what he preaches, people
will have faith in what he says.
If he sacrifices his life for the
good of the school or job, others will follow him.
Thus an example is
more effective than thousands of words of advice. If a man does not practice
what he preaches, his precepts will not carry value.
Teachers may advice their pupils to
be good, skillful and virtuous. If the teachers themselves are not good,
skillful and virtuous, the pupils cannot be expected to be good, skillful and
virtuous. They will follow the examples of their teachers.
A teacher/instructor
can have greater influence over the pupils/students if he himself practices
what he preaches to them.
Practice a virtue yourself and then
teaches others to follow your example. He did it himself and so he had so much
influence over the people.
Instructor-centered teaching methods
use early training education. The methods used by educators in early childhood
have been the focus of considerable academic debate throughout the last
century. Central to this debate has been the role of the teacher in bringing
about learning and the extent to which learning is fully child-centered
(student-centered).
When considering their approach to
instruction, teachers are always looking for the method that is most beneficial
for all of their students.
Teachers want their students to enjoy the learning process,
and they want the classroom to be orderly and controlled. As a result, the
debate of teacher-centered vs. student-centered education has been in the
forefront of educators’ minds for many years.
In recent years, more teachers have
moved toward a student-centered approach. However, some students maintain that
teacher-centered education is the more effective strategy. In most cases, it is
best for teachers to use a combination of approaches to ensure that all student
needs are met.
When both approaches are used
together, students can enjoy the positives of both types of education. Instead
of getting bored with teacher-centered education or losing sight of their goals
in a completely student-centered classroom, pupils can benefit from a
well-balanced educational atmosphere.
Lecture is a teaching method where
an instructor is the central focus of information transfer.
Lectures are one tool in a teacher's
weaponry of teaching methods.
Just as with all the other tools and
it should only be used when most appropriate. Instruction should be varied from
day to day to help reach the most students possible.
In traditional education
methodologies, teachers direct the learning process and students assume a
receptive role in their education.
Student-centered learning allows
students to actively participate in discovery learning processes from an
autonomous viewpoint. Students spend the entire class time constructing a new
understanding of the material being learned in a proactive way.
Student-centered learning represents
both a mindset and a culture within a given educational institution and is a
learning approach which is broadly related to, and supported by, constructivist
theories of learning. It is characterised by innovative methods of teaching
which aim to promote learning in communication with teachers and other learners
and which take students seriously as active participants in their own learning,
fostering transferable skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking and
reflective thinking.
Student-centered
learning is focused on each student's interests, abilities, and
learning styles, placing the teacher as a facilitator of learning. This
classroom teaching method acknowledges student voice as central to the learning
experience for every learner, and differs from many other learning
methodologies. In a student-centered classroom, students choose what they will
learn, how they will learn, and how they will assess their own learning.
Teacher-centered
learning has the teacher at its centre in an active role and students
in a passive, receptive role. In a teacher-centered classroom, teachers choose
what the students will learn, how the students will learn, and how the students
will be assessed on their learning. Student-centered learning requires students
to be active, responsible participants in their own learning and with their own
pace of learning.

Teachers
should provide love and care to their pupils all the time, should answer their questions
with patience must be able to explain to them the do's and they don't s. It is
also necessary to avoid being too disciplined, too, liberal, too favoring and being extreme.
The
teachers should be patient with their pupils, they must teach their pupils with
perseverance. They must be able to teach their pupils to understand the good
and the bad, beginning right from the basics. If the teachers themselves cannot
be patient with their own, pupils then who else would be so.
Good
manners are something teachers and adults usually teach us as a child. Having
good manners means showing honor and respect to everyone around you. It means
being polite. It includes humility, humanitarian outlook, compassion, loving
kindness and understanding.
Teachers,
instructors, and other adults should always be examples of good manners. If teachers/adults are rude to pupils/children, then pupils/children
will learn to be rude. If teachers/instructors or adults are impolite to each
other, then children will learn to be impolite. If children hear one adult
insulting another, they will learn to speak that ways, too.
Pupil's confidences in their teachers are very important. Pupils/students
regard their teachers/instructors as their heroes, powerful benefactors.
Teachers
are highly regarded and their confidants. Teachers should understand that their
actions and what they say are regarded as examples by the pupils: the parent's
genes, the environmental situation, model character, behavior and
qualifications etc.
Teachers should be good example for their pupils. Thus, it is important
that the teachers/instructors should have good mind, good character, good
behavior, good thinking, disciplined, law abiding and good mannered.
Teachers
should teach and control the pupils to develop and manifest good qualities,
such as kindness, obedience, courage, honesty, perseverance, simplicity, and
good manners. Teachers should see that their pupils learn a suitable behaviour,
ability, and knowledge as well as ethical and moral principles.
How
many books do you read in your lifetime?
All teachers (instructors)
should be IDEAL and GOOD example.
