“The ability to communicate and not just give technical information that no one understands.”
“I think what makes a good teacher is someone very spontaneous that keeps you interested.”
“I would say someone who can (relate to) students, who is understanding and doesn’t just jump to conclusions.”
“ Someone who shows good leadership qualities as well as patience. Someone who earns respect and doesn’t expect it.”

Eyes in the back of the head. Also, lots of patience. Maybe a 12 step program.

A good teacher enjoys going to work each morning and is able to teach children to listen and learn effectively. And, encourages children to communicate their ideaology!

Leadership, respect for difference, patience, flexibility, effective communication skills, and parents who give a crap.

Don't ask brownback because he thinks all teachers are bad.

I won't. He is politician through and through, and if you don't get what I mean by that, it's not a good thing.

Horn-rimmed glasses, business skirt, and a paddling stick.
Or maybe that was an internet video that I saw . . . .

A good teacher recognizes that there are many different ways individual students learn. It's not "one size fits all" and they are able to modify how they teach or change the perspective so the student understands it.

Knowing how to stress students so they will learn. I always had a policy as a GTA that if any student did not know the answer on a test, they only needed to walk up to my desk and ask and I would prod them along into finding the correct answer. They thought the tests were to gauge what they knew when in fact they were written to make them think through problems and burn into their minds what I had told them would be on the test.
It's a high calling and takes an obsessive desire to pass along knowledge.

I was talking about college level. I have no desire to deal with kids. I should have made that clear.
