Professional Teacher’s Qualities
Some qualities of a good teacher include skills in
communication, listening, collaboration, adaptability,
empathy and patience. Other characteristics of effective
teaching include an engaging classroom presence, value in real-
world learning, exchange of best practices and a lifelong love of
learning.
Reflective Practitioner 
A reflective practitioner builds and examines knowledge about
learners, the culture and curricula of schooling, and the
contexts in which teaching and learning occur; such a
practice assists an educator to simultaneously renew, invigorate,
and maximize the teaching process.
Characteristics Of A Great Teacher
• They demonstrate confidence.
Confidence while teaching can mean any number of things, it can range
from having confidence in your knowledge of the material being learned
to having confidence that your teaching acumen is second to none.
Though these two (and many other) ‘confidences’ are important the
most critical confidence a teacher can have is much more general and
tougher to describe than that.
• They have life experience.
• Having some life experience outside the classroom and outside the
realm of education is invaluable for putting learning into context and
keeping school activities in perspective. Teachers who have traveled,
worked in other fields, played high-level sports, or enjoyed any
number of other life experiences bring to the profession outlooks other
than ‘teacher.’
They understand student motivation.
• Just as each student has a different set of interests, every student will
have a correspondingly different set of motivators.
• Many (or most) students will be able to reconcile their own outlook
and ambitions with what’s happening in the class and take motivation
from that relationship.
Committed teachers 
• Committed teachers love teaching and work with students
through building good relationships with them and
showing them respect. Such teachers also have
unquestionable loyalty to the profession, which leads to
effective teaching and student learning
5 PROFESSIONAL COMMITMENTS YOU NEED TO
MAKE AS A TEACHER
• Commit to being a lifelong learner. As a teacher, you’ll
continue to learn from multiple sources of knowledge
throughout your career. You have the opportunity to learn
from practice, by making mistakes, from your students, and
from other teachers and administrators.
• Use the curriculum responsibly. While a school district
may provide you with a set curriculum to teach, you as the
teacher decide what is important, how to make it interesting
and relevant, and how to measure the progress. 
• Cross your own familiar barriers and beliefs to meet the
needs of all learners. Teachers must embrace diversity,
including differences in ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic
status, disability, and sexual orientation.
• Meet the needs of individual students. While a classroom
is one large group by design, it is made of many unique
individuals with unique needs. You can meet learners’ needs
by providing a variety of teaching methods, including direct
instruction, grouping students, and rearranging the groups
as needed.
Collectively contribute to the
profession. 
• Collaborating and contributing to the school and classrooms
are not just part of the job; they are teachers’
responsibilities. Active teachers seek to advance and
improve all areas of education.
