"Important attributes in a teacher include: 1. Enjoyment of public speaking - a teacher needs to feel comfortable standing in front of a group and projecting their concepts and their voice with confidence.2. Physical presence - teachers need to ""own"" the classroom. A teacher who sits behind the desk is not as noticeable as a teacher who moves around the room.3. A flair for the dramatic - we all
. had teachers who acted out roles to get us involved in what they were saying. We also had teachers who didn't use attention-grabbing techniques to keep us awake. Which ones to you remember better?4. An unfaltering sense of fairness - teachers need to distance themselves from their students and make fair decisions at all times. When a teacher dotes on one student and disregards another, they risk losing their students' respect."
