What makes a good teacher?

Something that is a recurring discussed is how some teachers are about as creative as a stuck record when it comes to lesson planning. Many others have complained about their teacher's methodology and if they are really good enough for making students learn. As a result of this, I've made a list of the following characteristics of a good teacher.

The Qualities and Characteristics of a Good Teacher

• Good teachers treat their students with respect
• Good teachers don't have double standards
• Good teachers are honest
• Good teachers give their students a lot of choice in their assignments
• Good teachers have creative ways of presenting class
• Good teachers get to know their students individually
