    What makes a good teacher?

    Teachers are important and make a difference. The quality of teaching is a crucial factor in promoting effective learning in schools. Effective teaching requires individuals who are academically able and who care about the well-being of children and youth.

    Points Arising from Research
    The most powerful single factor that enhances achievement is feedback – positive, encouraging, clearly targeted.

    The setting of appropriate, specific and challenging goals is critical.

    Effective teachers make purpose and content explicit, plan carefully, use systematic assessment and feedback, make connections, encourage children to think about thinking and model what they want the children to do.


    Key Elements of What makes a good teacher?

    Research detailing the direct effect of good teaching on pupils is difficult to assess, as relating ‘good teaching directly to higher attainment in pupils is almost impossible to verify. However there are many attempts to analyse what constitutes a ‘good teacher. The following points are generally agreed to have an impact on pupils:

    Subject Matter Knowledge

    Highly knowledgeable and up to date in their subject area, but do not pretend to know it all, willing to learn from pupils


    Teachers repertoires of best practices

    Provide learner with clear tasks, goals, and requirement and inform them of progress made. A key skill in teaching is the ability to explain and describe things clearly

    Encourage pupils to think, to make connections, to practise and reinforce, to learn from other learners and to feel that if they make mistakes they will not be ridiculed or treated negatively

    Promote pupil participation through problem solving, questioning, discussion and “buzz group” activities

    Treat all pupil questions seriously and do not intimidate or ridicule

    Use regular informal assessment strategies including a range of types of questioning, observation and listening in

    Understand that, since individuals learn at different rates and in different ways, we need to provide a variety of activities, tasks and pace of work, and monitor and evaluate childrens progress

    Use breaks and activities to engage pupils thinking and interest

    Turn to reading and research for fresh insights and relating these to their classroom and school

    Work in a shared and collegial way with other staff


    Personal qualities

    Demonstrate an empathy with pupil thinking, anticipate misconceptions and allow pupils to develop understanding in a variety of ways

    Observe pupils in class for signs that they are failing to keep up, are bored, or are not understanding

    Show flexibility in responding to pupil needs

    Genuinely want pupils to learn, understand and develop critical thinking abilities, as well as master content or learn skills

    Encourage pupils to take an active role in working through difficulties and take time to work through concepts in detail with those who have difficulties

    Teachers who show enthusiasm for subject, professional area and teaching role motivate pupils as they look forward to coming to that class

    Highly effective teachers are viewed as “easy going”, “relaxed”, with an “open” manner. This brings a relaxed atmosphere to the classroom

    Communicate effectively

    Are resourceful and positive and adopt a problem-solving approach

    Are creative and imaginative and have an open attitude to change

    Are systematic and well organised, focused, determined and hardworking

    Demonstrate empathy and fairness, are caring and approachable


    Teacher Competences

    The Standard for Chartered Teachers states that the quality of the educational service depends pre-eminently on the quality of our teachers. The standard then list the following 4 components:

    Professional values and personal commitments

    Professional knowledge and understanding

    Professional and personal attributes

    Professional action



    It also lists 4 central professional values and personal commitments which effective teachers should develop:


    effectiveness in promoting learning in the classroom

    critical self-evaluation and development

    collaboration and influence

    educational and social values


    Reflection and Discussion

    Do you reflect on your practice in the classroom?

    As a result of this reflection do you alter your approach within your classroom?

    How much do you share good practice with colleagues?
