What Makes a Good Teacher?

Here's a little resource I found online, which is designed to rank the characteristics deemed most important for a good teacher.

Read the following list carefully and try to determine what characteristics listed below are most important to be a good teacher. Put them in order, the most important No. 1 and so on. Place the ranking on the blank in front of the statement.

Teacher's ability to:

_____ communicate effectively with students
_____ understand feelings of students
_____ listen to other people's opinion
_____ dress neatly and attractively
_____ keep order in the classroom
_____ be fair when disciplining
_____ be informed on the latest information in subject area
_____ use many different methods (videos, overheads, books)
_____ expect high levels of achievement from students
_____ be liked by students
_____ cooperate with students' wishes
_____ communicate effectively with parents
_____ admit to error if a mistake is made
_____ keep good records

I by no means feel that this is the be all and end all of what makes a good teacher, but I think it tells a lot about what we personally value in a good teacher.
