What does it mean to be a great teacher'? Of course, credentials, knowledge, critical thinking, and
all other faculties of intelligence are important. However, a great teacher should be much more
than credentials, experience and intelligence. A great teacher shows kindness to students,

matters. There is no need for punishments. For me, inspiring them and teaching and showing
them humility will make a good impact on your relationship with the students. I think this will
give a good ambiance of the classroom making it conducive to learning.
