Research out of the US indicates there are characteristics that can predict whether a teacher will be a great teacher before they even get in the classroom. And that's important when other studies show the teacher is one of the most crucial factors in your child's school success. A poor teacher can set your child back forever; a great teacher inspires them forever. Our panel will talk about the difference between the good and great teachers out there.
Interesting discussion but to be frank there was nothing new. Teachers are not actors and great teachers make their greatness felt over a period of time. To me dedication and love for the profession are the cardinal factors.Great or good teachers have more of that. A truly great teacher must speak the language of the common man. Lest we forget, great teachers/Head Teachers are seldom the favourites of the administration but admired by students. So the love of the students is the deciding factor.

caring teachers usually get run out of the schools by pompus principals> The guidence counselors even said I knew the students better then they did. I loved teaching more then anything and would give anything to be back in a classroom.

very interesting! i think it would be worthwhile to examine the same issue with a focus on secondary school teaching.
