The best teachers see themselves as guides. They share what they know, but they understand that they are not the focus. Their students are.

 You need to know the people you're teaching — their talents, prior experience, and needs.

To create a safe environment and students need to know that they can trust the instructor. 

The most important thing a teacher must have is the need to have passion, and it has to be genuine. It isn't something you can fake.

One of the main attributes of a great teacher is the ability to break down complex ideas and make them understandable

To some people, being a teacher — or a leader — means appearing as though you have all the answers. Any sign of vulnerability or ignorance is seen as a sign of weakness. Those people can make the worst teachers,Sometimes the best answer a teacher can give is, "I don't know." Instead of losing credibility, teacher gains students' trust, and that trust is the basis of a productive relationship

Teaching from the heart.The best teaching isn't formulaic; it's personal

The best teachers keep it fresh by finding new ways to express the same points. 

Effective teachers understand that learning is about exploring the unknown and that such exploration begins with questions

"How does that work?" and "What does that mean?" "Why?" "If you want to get to the heart of something, ask why five times,"

One way to show that you care about students and that you're interested in them is by listening. Effective learning is a two-way street: It's a dialogue, not a monologue. 

 

Effective teaching is about the quality of the relationship between the teacher and the student. It doesn't end when the class or the workday is over.
