An effective teacher has self-confidence in their educational background, knowledge, and teaching approach. They also draw on a variety of life experiences, work well in teams, and see the school as part of the larger society. Each child is unique, so an effective teacher finds the individual motives and belief systems of each student. They are sincere, willing to learn and improve, and believe in their students' ability to succeed with the right motivation, goals, and planning for the long term. Above all, an effective teacher teaches from the heart, not just the book.
