Creating a Positive Classroom discusses the traits of good teachers. A good teacher (1) wants to help students learn, not just teach the curriculum, (2) demonstrates concepts rather than just explaining them, and (3) inspires students through a positive attitude and desire to become the best teacher possible. Good teachers listen to students, provide encouragement over criticism, and understand that non-verbal communication can have a big impact on students.
