The article, "Simple but Effective Ways to be a Great Teacher," has a couple obvious tips on how to be a great teacher, like making sure you show up for your classes and make sure you know what you are teaching(Simple para. 1-5). Even though these seem like common sense, they are also very important, because who wants to learn from a sub that has no idea what the class did previously. Also who can learn from a teacher who doesn't even know what they are talking about. A teacher needs to be informed on what they are teaching, and if they happen to not know an answer to a question, they should do whatever they can to get it eventually, even if it is at a later time.
Some tips that don't seem as obvious is to get to "know [your] students on a personal basis" (Simple para. 3). This is very important so that a teacher can easily connect with his or her students. If a teacher has no connections with his students, it makes it very difficult to get on their level and understand what they are trying to say sometimes. Many teachers do put these tips into action and thats what makes them a hard teacher to learn from. Great teachers know their students and are always there to help them. They understand everything they are teaching and keep their students informed.
