The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. William Arthur Ward
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. William Arthur Ward
Never doubt the capabilities of ALL your students even the seemingly weak students
Always encourage and motivate students
Assist them anyway you can academically, financially, emotionally and psychologically while making them part of your family, your dear friends
Be humble and accept corrections, even learning from your students
Show them deep respect
In order to become great teacher one should have knowledge, experience, motivation and also personality traits play important role.
According to my experience being a good teacher is first of all a gift from the Creator, which can be further improved by learning methods and practices. But methods and practices do not replace being gifted and talented. You have to love your students (in the good sense of the word). You have to be always curious, and ready to learn - even from your students. they may put questions you never thought of. Be patient. Never pretend that you know everything. Acknowledge your faults and missing knowledge. Be brave enough to ask for a pardon if you hurt anyone you teach.
Humble mentality to be ONLY a silent worker can lead a qualified person to be an actual great leader.
I can only add to what has already been said that you must be a good role model to your students. Sometimes, students use their knowledge and skills in a way that profits them at whatever costs because they never had a role model to show them the right way of being profitable.
Many thanks,

Dear Prof.Haitham Hmoud Alshibly,
In my opinion, good teachers need to have:
-Good knowledge of the subject.
-Pedagogical skills to impart knowledge to students.
- Understanding student psychology.
- Inspire students.
- Set an example for students.
- Capture the needs of society, teaching practical knowledge to students.
professional enthusiasm, student centered, know how and when to help.
In general: motivate students to learn, not just teaching them what to learn. The perfect teacher starts a process in which s/he make him/herself superfluous and the student ends this process on her/his own.
Self dedication
Hardworking
Good teacher-student relationship on a point of professional basis
Mastery of subjects taught
A great teacher is one who understands learner characteristics, adopts the appropriate strategies to meet their needs. These would transcend into producing useful citizens in our societies.
A good teacher knows his learners and tries to meet their individual needs.
In my opinion, there are four key elements for self evaluating our ability as teachers:
Have we taught what should be taught.
Has the teaching reached the students and the student is able to distinguish it from the previous lesson.
Has the student understood the role of that difference.
Has the student demonstrated the innovation associated with the lesson.
Vast and comprehensive knowledge of the field, commitment, intense enthusiasm for teaching and readiness to guide your students.
One who has interest and aptitude in teaching, can become a great teacher.
Thanks Prof . Kundu on contributing to the discussion. Regards

A good teacher is one who respects and inspires their students , also need to have knowledge and experience
Teaching is one of the most important professions in today’s society. As a teacher, you will shape the minds of others and encourage them to think independently. To become a good teacher, it’s important to be organized. Create lesson plans, objectives, activities, and assessment plans well before each class day. Get your students interested in learning by fostering a positive, supportive, yet challenging classroom environment. Seek out other teachers for assistance, too.
Kind regards
"We often grow up being told that we can do this or that, but if you don't see anybody that looks like you doing it, you don't believe you can do it. But I had great teachers, and I wanted to be a great teacher". Jesse Williams

Permanent desires to learn, a lot of human sensibility, desires to teach and growing academic authority.
When you are seen by your students and they remembered positive thoughts on how they were being taught in your class.
A good teacher does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.
Hard-work, dedication, passion, commitment, focus, determination, persistence, can do spirit, an exceptional and selfless level of devotion to the students, enthusiasm, and creativity, the drive to inspire and motivate the student to learn and succeed, must be dynamic by developing himself or herself the modern ways of doing things, must take time to explore new ideas of doing thing, must be ready to expand his or her scope of knowledge on the subject he or she handle, must ready to read wide, must be ready to acknowledge and listening to people advice on his or her recognize area of weakness rather than defending him or herself.
Qualities such as, but not limited to, being friendly, wonderful personality, knowledgeable in the field of study, passionate, good listener, kind, and other can lead to becoming an outstanding teacher.
