"Qualities of a Good Teacher: Survival Kit and Refreshment Guide" is a self-help tool for new and mature teachers alike. The time has come for illumination of the qualities of good teachers that still exist but are undervalued, overlooked or left to feel unappreciated. This literature was conceptualized at a time when the author was doing his graduate research paper and realised that there was very little peer-reviewed research on good teachers. Whilst the matter may be subjective to many, there are thousands of teachers across the globe, and as a result, there should have been more search results. Consequently, the author felt impelled to shed some light on teachers. As an educator for more than half of a decade, I have noted that teachers are usually extremely busy with their duties and so get burdened or lose motivation. This book is to remind you that you are a good teacher and shares some ways in which you can stimulate your interest and passion again for your vocation, the teaching profession.
