Instead of the teacher always being on top of her game there are some days when she has to wing it because what was planned didn’t go as planned. This is my ideal classroom situation where everything is not perfect and there is continued

I believe the first characteristic of a good teacher is that he/ she is always willing to analyze his/her teaching performance. Second the teacher is humble enough to receive input about the development and application of techniques, learning from it and improving.
