Teaching is a very difficult job of great responsibility. A good teacher is not only a communicator of knowledge. He is a model of competence and a symbol of education process. He forms attitude to his subject.
“Climate” of a classroom depends on the relations between a teacher and his pupils. These relations must be based on respect for a person. A primary condition of a good atmosphere in class is that everybody in it respects everybody. Teacher’s authority depends on the respect his pupils. Teacher’s knowledge, skill thinking are high. So, his commands are to be respected and obeyed.
A good teacher studies his children: their interests, strengths and weaknesses, their abilities. He builds his work upon what he knows about his children.
A good teacher must be strict and kind at the same time. He must always control his temper. Above all, a good teacher improves the contents and methods of his work. A good teacher is also a good actor: he must be able to hold the attention of the class, he must be a clear speaker and first of all, a decent man.
