You look for certain characteristics when you buy a product. Students don`t "buy" their teachers. But there are certain characteristics they would like their teachers to have.

Students would like their teachers to:

• listen to them
• treat everyone fairly
• respect them
• be enthusiastic
• be understanding

Most importantly, students would like their teachers to:

• know their subject matter
• help them learn
• make learning enjoyable

Teachers who have these characteristics are successful teachers.
