What makes a Good Teacher?

*A good teacher is someone who teaches not only with mind, but also with heart.

*I think that a good teacher should be a good and complete person: curious, passionate,  
  interested about their pupils' interests, wishes, feelings... A really good teacher should 
  be child in his soul which mean, creative, imaginative and ready for exploration.

*A good teacher makes herself available to all students, however, knows which students need extra assistance.

*A good teacher is an effective communicator, however, who knows when she needs to change her communicating techniques to be sure students can grasp instructional concepts. 

*A good teacher allows students to ask questions, however, does not answer questions without drawing from other students' learning experience first.

*A good teacher has classroom rules and procedures which help students know what is expected from them and how the students can help themselves.

*A good teacher encourages cooperation and sets an example with other students and faculty.

*A good teacher is flexible and able to change lessons "spur of the moment" in order to accommodate the needs of her students.

*A good teacher respects all students and encourages good performance.
