.... reward but for self-fulfillment and doing things that are ought to be done. Teaching is not just a profession, it should be utilized as a powerful way of touching the lives of the children, always uncompromising in giving the right directions and always doing what is best to inculcate not just the usual lessons taught in school but also essential knowledge that could be utilized in helping students become responsible citizens in the years to come.

1. Good teachers know how to control their emotions at all time. Amidst the growing confusions and anxieties that are present in the classrooms of teachers nowadays, add more pressure brought up with enlarged and difficult responsibilities, good teachers, must know the word of self-preservation, which knows to calm down and hold emotions at the right place at the right time. Unnecessary outbursts such as shouting, threatening, or striking out a child never yield plausible result but will only make escalate problems.
2. Good teachers have an ample respect the needs of their pupils. They are always ready to provide sufficient ventilation, lighting, seating, and even warmth. They discern every individual requirement and are sensitive to the varying needs of the children.
3. Good teachers are always consistent. They set up few yet attainable goals. Views the confusion well every time a class departs the room loudly and the teacher will always flash a pleasant smile.
4. Good teachers are not bias, but always fair and square with every dealings he makes. All of the pupils/students are respected in spite of color of skin, intellectual attainment, age, religion, wealth, or physical condition. without doubt sincerity and quality of contributions are acknowledged. But no child should feel that his teacher is his/her boss.
5. Good teachers are smart and caring. They are always prepared to listen every time a child speaks to them. Directly looking at the person speaking, with warmth and sincerity. No pupil can lay blame on them of the glassy and crabby stare, but with the popular, “teacher’s smile.”
6. Good teachers always take part in an activity. If a class has something, they are willing and capable to do it too. Always walks about the room, conversing with his pupil, checking constantly what is happening in the class, keeping an eye on every student and often makes helpful suggestion. These teachers are always visible and ready to subdue about to start troubles.
7. Good teachers are considerate. They have no qualms in saying sincere words like “thanks” and “thank you all the time”. They treat children as human beings as every part of the social niceties are habitual with them. Even when they are annoyed at a pupil’s actions, they by no means lessen their reverence for the pupil or his respect for himself in any way.
8. Good teachers make comment favorably always such as, “That was good thinking”, “What a fine question to ask!”, “My, you have shown improvement,” and “That’s the spirit.” It is seemed like these teachers don’t view the bad things happen, but on the contrary, they actually spot everything with gusto. They choose their time and place, for the most effective corrective measures they will make.
9. Good teachers always smile and laugh. So many young teachers become old before their time because, for making everything perfect causes them anxiety, enables them to shed off sense of humor. Plenty of apprehensive situations can be driven out by a placid remark: “Well, today is one of those days. Nothing seems to be going right.” Pupils get important cues from their teacher.
10. Good teachers are passionate and enthusiastic at all times. They get eager at a ball game. They show great interest in creating the model for the social studies exhibit. They are thrilled and excited in doing their Science project. School seems to be a blissful place for them, with fresh and fascinating things occurring too often.
11. Good teachers are good conversationists. Their voices are affectionate, distinct, and well-modulated. Children are eager to partake, as teachers provide and trigger an invitation for a hearty discussion.
12. Good teachers make children feel that they are part of the class. The pat a pupil, or place their arms about a little one’s shoulders, sitting with the pupils. Warm welcome ushered to newcomers, birthdays are remembered, and individual attributes are recognized.
13. Good teachers encourage cooperation in the class with saying phrases like, “It is our class”, “We had a fine program” or say with compassion the phrases, “Something went wrong with us this morning”, or “How might we make this afternoon better?” or perhaps say “Competition goes out the window”.
14. Good teachers have faith on the capabilities of the children. They deem that all healthy pupils try their best in every task given to them. They exhibit persistence and present assistance during the long process of honing and mastering a skill. Test marks in no way become more vital than a person.
15. Good teachers set high standards to their students. Each pupil’s performance is appraised in terms of his individual capacity. The slow learner’s small improvement may embody more effort than that of the very fast learner’s great improvements. All pupils are permitted to reach limitless growth and that he must put forth his best in aiding them the pupils. If he misses work because of misbehavior, he is asked to make it up. If he disturbs the group so that it cannot do its work, he is withdrawn or loses the privileges that he has abused.
16. Good teachers “always leave the door open.” A distinction is made between the child and his actions. Misbehavior is never condoned, but the teacher’s displeasure is with the pupil personally. The pupil always believes that when he improves in his behavior, the displeasure will be gone.
17. Good teachers consult others. They know that they do no have all the answers. When pupils fail to respond to corrective treatment, these teachers seek the help of parents, a counseling teacher, or principal. Working with others does not entail loss of prestige, for these teachers are concerned only with the welfare of the children. Anyone who acknowledges his need for expert advice, they believe, is to be honored.
