A teacher has to know about what they are to teach; they can’t teach something they don’t know.
If a student finds that their teacher does not completely understand the material, there is doubt, loss of respect, and disinterest.
Teachers should know a lot and not just about their own subject. They shouldn’t be dead-beats who are only book smart. It’s nice to see teachers who know what’s going on with their students’ culture. |

It’s really bad when a teacher loses your work. It is also horrible when they can’t give you organized notes or they write really messy on the board and expect students to pick out what is written.
An organized lesson plan and teacher in general can make the difference between students passing and failing a course.
Organization makes learning a whole lot easier. Students know that an organized teacher means getting the work done and done right. |
