Recently a friend of mine commented that a good teacher shall not show his 'back' while writing on the black board. How is it possible? Any idea ? Of course I know its possible if teachers use other visual media such as projectors and power point presentations.

Understand how much student knows about lesson: Before starting any lesson, just make sure that how much a student know about the lesson in general.

Talking from personal experience, the teacher of my daughter (in first class at present) does not even get time to see if the answers are written correctly or not. She taught the concept of 'a' and 'an' and my daughter wrote am in front of every word. But she checked it all right.

There is a good degree of difference between efficiency and effectiveness. All efficient teachers may not be effective. Time has come to think about the effectiveness of a teacher
