Ok, so you are just beginning your teacher-training course. I've been a school teacher for twenty-five years and I'm here today to highlight the qualities I believe you need to become not just a good teacher but a great teacher. In my last talk on this question, the students said that an in-depth knowledge of the subject was the most important factor. I think that's true for university professors, but it's not that high on my list for school teachers. Other people have said that a teacher should be well dressed otherwise they won't get respect. Now I'm not suggesting you should turn up to class in scruffy jeans and a T-shirt, but I don't put much emphasis on appearance. In my view, a great teacher is someone who takes time to understand each student and to value them as individuals. Everyone has different abilities and learns at a different pace, and you have to be aware of that. And another thing, all of you will spend a great deal of your working life in the classroom with your students but a great teacher also knows they are a member of a wider professional team. So a great teacher is someone who is as prepared to ask for help from colleagues as they are to give it.
What does the speaker say are the qualities of great teachers?
