Prof.So.Sathiyaseelan, a noted educationist said, “Teaching
is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber, and future of an
individual”.Prof.So.Sathiyaseelan
spoke in the teacher’s day celebrated in SEVAI Shanthi Matriculation Higher
Secondary School he added, “A great teacher has effective discipline
skills and can promote positive behaviors and change in the classroom. A great teacher has good classroom management skills and
can ensure good student
behavior, effective study and work habits, and an overall sense of respect in
the classroom. A great teacher has the ability to
develop relationships with their students; the most frequent response is that a
great teacher develops relationships with students, Patient, caring, and kind
personality Knowledge of learners, Dedication to teaching, Engaging students in
learning. Great teachers need to find their own ways to “manage” a group of students.
The most effective teachers draw from these well-known theories, but adapt them
to their own personality. Great teachers develop and hone their own classroom
management style; their techniques vary the common characteristics in their classrooms,
few behavior problems, a culture of respect that flows in every direction:
teacher to students, students to teacher, students to students, and everyone to
guests and a clear, shared understanding of acceptable and appropriate behavior.
Greatness in teaching requires consistently outstanding performance over the
years. That does not mean that the teacher never has a bad day, or even a bad
week. In fact, most great teachers have had a difficult year or two. The best
teachers consistently find ways to integrate new methods in an ever-changing
profession into their successful practices. Dedication to their work,
flexibility, and the willingness to grow are common to great teachers in the
face of difficulty and change. Great teachers use a variety of instructional
methods that they feel comfortable with; within the same school, you'll find
different teachers getting excellent results using such methods as
mini-lectures and interactive lectures, problem-based learning, cooperative
groups, and multiple intelligences approaches. No single teaching method or
approach works best for every teacher with every student.

The best teachers
select from the methods that are well researched and widely practiced at their
grade level or within their subject area, and become expert in several that fit
their style and the needs of their students at those time.Both progressive and
conservative educators speak about the importance of content. Everyone agrees
that great teachers possess a solid command of content, whether their expertise
lies in knowledge of reading in the early elementary grades or a serious
command of biology or mathematics at the high school level. Because of the
close connection between preparation time and content, the best teachers often
spend as much time preparing for a class as they do teaching it. Like any other
profession, teaching undergoes constant change. The past 30 years have
witnessed a marked increase in education research and the emergence of solid
information about teaching and learning. Great teachers remain intellectually
alive and open to responsible change grounded in theory, research, and
practice. Over the years the following areas of education knowledge (and many
others) have developed and become worth exploring: technology; character
education; closing the achievement gap; standards; cooperative learning;
diversity; assessment and evaluation; multiple intelligence; reading
instruction; curriculum reform; and bilingual education/structured English immersion.
The finest teachers serve on education committees or become teacher experts who
lead study groups or professional development courses. Some people,
particularly people outside the profession, expect teachers to “perform” in
classrooms and to maintain a high energy level. Great teachers, however, are
not necessarily performers. Instead, they hold students' attention through
subject mastery, skillful lesson design, actions that demonstrate caring, and
an honesty that reveals their individual personality. The great teacher is
steady, intelligent, concerned, interesting, and interested”. -Kris
