Abstract:
For this assignment, I have to describe ten (10) characteristics of an effective teacher. For this paper, I’ve conducted a brief interview with the teachers in Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Tengah, Kemaman, Terengganu. There were about forty-one teachers in this school.

The main question that I asked my colleagues was, ‘What are the characteristics of an effective teacher?’. From the interview, many of my colleagues give quite similar points. There were at least ten characteristics of an effective teacher that I will elaborate further in this paper.

According to Katz (1993), effectiveness as a teacher stems from a combination of knowledge, skills and personal characteristics. To be an effective teacher there are more than just teaching the syllabus to the students. An effective teacher is one who runs an effective classroom, and touches the lives of children. An efficient teacher is one who knows what they are doing and does the right thing consistently. All of the developmental psychologists agree that effective teachers encourage through consistent use of positive words, actions and facial expressions teachers provide students the hope to keep striving to learn and grow. They also agree effective teachers ask probing questions to challenge accuracy and completeness of thinking in a
