what makes great teachers great?



I think without a doubt, teaching is one of the most complicated jobs today, there are many demands and much is expected of teachers. but I really think that when talking about a great teacher, we must refer to all the qualities that as teachers we should have: for example, the work of a great teacher begins with knowing your students, know their names, what are their expectations.

Moreover, a great teacher should establish strong ties of friendship with his/her students, there should be a good teacher-student relationship, so that the teaching-learning process takes place in a more peaceful way.

Also, every teacher to be considered great, he/she needs to be well prepared and organized, knows what to teach, to be a responsible teacher for every good teacher need to be early in the classroom and ready to teach.

If you have these characteristics i think you might be considered a great teacher

PRE-REQUISITES OF EFFECTIVE TEACHING

Añadir leyenda






What´s the most important pre-requisite teaching?
Thinking which is the most important prerequisite that every teacher must have is a little hard because there are many that every good teacher to teach art lover should have against the teaching-learning process.

But very well among the many prerequisites that as we have good teachers is one that undoubtedly is of great importance and relevance that should be present in the teachers and I think it is:
content knowledge, so if you as teachers do not know, do not control what we teach, nor do we know the structure of the content we develop, we will not know what to do and our work maybe you feel frustrated.

On the contrary, if you are a teacher who is very familiar with the contents of which will have to teach, knows the structures, rules and everything regarding such content, you will find it easier to teach that content because when you know perfectly well what want to convey to your students, you enjoy teaching and they enjoy learning, but as teachers we know that some students and by nature do not like the subject of English, therefore, we must find the techniques and dynamics appropriate to motivate them to learn.

In conclusion, I think reading this chapter we note that there are many prerequisites that every good teacher should manage to develop effective teaching.

If, as novice teachers, we are not familiar with the contents that we have to teach, do not know the structure concerned, rules be assured not know what to do, therefore, a suggestion to all prospective teachers, study well the content, learn well structures and rules so that when we develop our classes these are enjoyable for both students and us.
