Reflection # 6

One of the most important attribute of a good teacher is to be a good communicator. She/he should be comfortable explaining things and enjoy doing the same. At times, a teacher might feel like yelling or shouting at students, but a good teacher is one who knows how to keep the temper in check and act calmly in such situations. A good teacher must have good time management skills and always value the importance of time. In fact, wise utilization of time is the hallmark of a good teacher. A teacher should always adopt a fair attitude, when it comes to making any form of evaluations. He should be fair to his profession and assess students on their performance, instead of personal rapports and likings. A good teacher should have the necessary command over the subject matter he teaches. This way, he can be comfortable while explaining things. Besides, a teacher will be equipped with answers of any possible questions that might crop up during the lecture sessions. A teacher should be dedicated towards their work. He/she should not waste their time in the classroom and wait for the school bell to ring. Instead, taking out time and engaging in after-school meetings and activities is what suits a great teacher. As a teacher you have to be able to listen to the students and understand where they come from. You need to implement your structure and disciplinary skills in order to push your students to thrive and reach their goals.
