First, ignore the snide idiot above.  You are a teacher, not a student.\n\n\nGood teachers: \n• have a sense of purpose; \n• have expectations of success for all students; \n• tolerate ambiguity; \n• demonstrate a willingness to adapt and change to meet student needs; \n• are comfortable with not knowing; \n• reflect on their work; \n• learn from a variety of models; \n• enjoy their work and their students. \n\n\nGood teachers have a sense of purpose. \nStudents are in school for a reason.  This might be to pass the exam, or to get a good job.  A good teacher knows what their students need and makes lessons plans with aims and objectives that fill that need. You can't be good in a generic sense; you have to be good for something.\n\nGood teachers have expectations of success for all students. \nA good teacher will have expectations about what happens in their classroom, based on the goals they are trying to achieve. If you want to prepare your students for employment, you expect punctuality and good attendance. If you teach an exam preparation class, you spend time explaining the format of the test and helping students to improve their test-taking skills. And if you want your students to become better, more involved readers, you allow time for reading and provide access to books. A good teacher knows what the students need and tells the students what they expect from them during class time.\n\nGood teachers know how to live with ambiguity. \nOne of the greatest challenges of teaching stems from the lack of immediate, accurate feedback. The student who walks out of your classroom tonight shaking his head and muttering under his breath about algebra may burst into class tomorrow proclaiming his triumph over math, and thanking you for the previous lesson. There is no way to predict precisely what the long-term results of our work will be. But if we have a sense of purpose informing our choice of strategies and materials, and we try to cultivate expectations of success for all our students, we will be less likely to dwell on that unpredictability, choosing instead to focus on what we can control, and trusting that thoughtful preparation makes good outcomes more likely than bad ones. \n\nGood teachers adapt and change to meet student needs. \nCan we really claim to have taught if no one learned? If none of our students ever pick up a book outside of the classroom, have we really taught them to be better readers? We don't always think about these issues, but they are at the heart of effective teaching. A great lesson plan and a great lesson are two entirely different things; it's nice when one follows the other, but we all know that it doesn't always work out that way. We teach so that students will learn, and when learning doesn't happen, we need to be willing to devise new strategies, think in new ways, and generally do anything possible to revive the learning process. It's wonderful to have a good methodology, but it's better to have students engaged in good learning. \n\nGood teachers are reflective. \nThis may be the only infallible, absolute characteristic of all good teachers, because without it, none of the other traits we've discussed can fully mature. Good teachers routinely think about and reflect on their classes, their students, their methods, and their materials. They compare and contrast, draw parallels and distinctions, review, remove and restore. Failing to observe what happens in our classes on a daily basis disconnects us from the teaching and learning process, because it's impossible to create connectivity if you've disconnected yourself. \n\nGood teachers are comfortable with not knowing. \nIf we reflect honestly and thoughtfully on what happens in our classes, we will often find dilemmas we cannot immediately resolve, questions we cannot answer. Our teaching benefits if we can live for a little while with a question, think and observe, and let an answer de

Being a teacher myself....I would want to see why it is important, who should do it, who should you respect, how you show respect, and how if you show me respect, I'll show you respect!!  Hope this helps.

story from the little box:-\n\nIt's meaningful....\n\nOnce upon a time, there was a teacher and his student lying down under a big tree near a big grass area. Then, suddenly, the student asked the teacher,\n\nStudent : Teacher, I'm confused, how can we find our soul-mate? Could you please help me?\n\nTeacher : (Silent for few second, than he answered)\n\nWell, it's a pretty hard and easy question.\n\nStudent : (Thinking hard) Huh???\n\nTeacher : Look on that way, there are a lot of grass there, why don't you walk there but please never walk backward, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a beautiful grass and pick it up then give it to me. But just one.\n\nStudent : Well, ok then... wait for me... (walked straight ahead to the grass field).\n\nA few minutes later...\n\nStudent : I'm back.\n\nTeacher : Em, well I don't see any beautiful grass on your hand.\n\nStudent : On my journey, I found few beautiful grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it up. But I didn't realize that I'm at the end of the field, and I hadn't picked up any. Because you told me not to go back, so I didn't go back.\n\nTeacher : That's what happened in real life.\n\nWhat is the message of this story?\n\n* Grass - is people around you\n* Beautiful Grass - is people that attract you\n* Grass Field - is time\n* In looking for your soulmate, please don't always\ncompare and hope that there will be a better one. By\ndoing that, you'll waste your lifetime, cause remember\n\n"Time Never Goes Back".\n\nIt applies the same in finding your ideal life partner, your suitable career or business, therefore the morale is LOVE & grab hold of the opportunity that you have now, don't waste time!

Hem hem.."how good your teacher be" is not proper grammar, and frankly I have no idea what you said.\n\nSo, I guess the question is how do you describe how good your teacher is, or how good you teacher can teach. You can say that you learned a lot, and that you've improved.

Best teacher: Mr. Sanders, 10th grade English\n\nFavorite: Mr. Sanders ties for favorite with my 8th grade History teacher Mrs. Miller.\n\nDifference between favorite and least favorite: Least favorite is Mrs. Pryor, 9th grade geometry and she was a horrid teacher. She never looked a person in the eye and did not interact with the students at all. Mr. Sanders encouraged the use of our imaginations and free thinking. He wanted to hear our ideas and allowed us to discuss and even argue our points. He taught me never to accept something just because someone else said it was so. "Question everything and learn more" was his motto.\n\nTeacher become more affective: That's a tough one. Be more understanding of the individual needs of their students. Classes were much smaller when I was in school and it was easier for a teacher to recognize a student who needed special attention before they got lost. These days, partly because of the size of classes and partly because it's just harder to teach todays kids, some teachers just don't seem to have the energy or the desire to deal with the special needs of some students. I also think the school districts themselves should loosen up on the teachers and give them more freedom with their curriculum. Teachers who are allowed some freedom in technique seem to make even better teachers than they would be with their hands more or less tied.\n\nHow many questions is that now?: Counting this one, 6.\n\nEdit/10:48pm cst/3-11-06\n\nOops, forgot one.\nWhat makes a good teacher: One that opens my mind and motivates me to use it.
