Top 6 Keys to Being   

 a Successful

Teacher

The most successful teachers share some common

characteristics. Here are the top six keys to being a

successful teacher. Every teacher can benefit from

focusing on these important qualities. Success in teaching,

as in most areas of life, depends almost entirely on your

attitude and your approach.

 Sense of Humor

A sense of humor can help you become a successful

teacher. Your sense of humor can relieve tense classroom

situations before they become disruptions. A sense of

humor will also make class more enjoyable for your

students and possibly make students look forward to

attending and paying attention. Most importantly, a sense

of humor will allow you to see the joy in life and make you

a happier person as you progress through this sometimes

 stressful career

 A Positive Attitutude

A positive attitude is a great asset in life. You will be

thrown many curve balls in life and especially in the

teaching profession. A positive attitude will help you cope

with these in the best way. For example, you may find out

the first day of school that you are teaching Algebra 2

instead of Algebra 1. This would not be an ideal situation

but a teacher with the right attitude would try to focus on

getting through the first day without negatively

 impacting the students.

 High Expectations

An effective teacher must have high expectations. You

should strive to raise the bar for your students. If you

expect less effort you will receive less effort. You should

work on an attitude that says that you know students can

achieve to your level of expectations, thereby giving them

a sense of confidence too. This is not to say that you should

create unrealistic expectations. However, your

expectations will be one of the key factors in helping

students learn and achieve

 Consistency

In order to create a positive learning environment your

students should know what to expect from you each day 

You need to be consistent. This will create a safe learning

environment for the students and they will be more likely

to succeed. It is amazing that students can adapt to

teachers throughout the day that range from strict to

easy. However, they will dislike an environment in which

the rules are constantly changing.

 Fairness

Many people confuse fairness and consistency. A

consistent teacher is the same person from day to day. A

fair teacher treats students equally in the same situation

For example, students complain of unfairness when

teachers treat one gender or group of students differently

It would be terribly unfair to go easier on the football

players in a class than on the cheerleaders. Students pick

up on this so quickly, so be careful of being labelled unfair

 Flexibility

One of the tenets of teaching should be that everything is

in a constant state of change. Interruptions and

disruptions are the norm and very few days are "typical"

Therefore, a flexible attitude is important not only for

your stress level but also for your students who expect you

to be in charge and take control of any situation
