Here's an article for you from the New York Times that talks about how to construct better teachers. It seems like a lively theme in the US as there is no good grasp yet many people are putting some effort into figuring this out. How do YOU know who the good teacher is?
A little paragraph from the article:
Among the factors that do not predict whether a teacher will succeed: a graduate-school degree, a high score on the SAT, an extroverted personality, politeness, confidence, warmth, enthusiasm and having passed the teacher-certification exam on the first try. When Bill Gates announced recently that his foundation was investing millions in a project to improve teaching quality in the United States, he added a rueful caveat. “Unfortunately, it seems the field doesn’t have a clear view of what characterizes good teaching,” Gates said. “I’m personally very curious.”
