A teacher should be a person who make vivid example with himself in order for the students to learn and understand properly, his concepts and knowledges, he tends to impact. however this wasn't only just for the students, it's also a way to prove that he/she understand the situation or state of being a teacher, and by this, he can be able to relate well with his students.
A teacher however is only as successful as the successful students that comes from his ranks, else, what would be the quality that parades him as a success.
Ben Carson's teachers for exampled were never acknowledged in history because they failed to bring out the genuius in him, had the reverse been the case, they would have been celebrated, rather it was his mother whose impact on him that really heralded the man he became, and thats why Ben never failed to eulogize her, As a teacher do you bask I'm your experience or in the experiences in the people you impact your knowledge upon?

WHAT KIND OF TEACHER ARE YOU?
Kahlil Gibran once said
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.”
Many teachers bask feels the best way to teach is through their success, but what they do not know is that most stories of failure, is a powerful tool that can teach, each and every human has a a similar look as a homophones sapien but have a unique thumb print that differentiates them, and that's why teachers must teach in the perspective of their students, teach in the method of how students understand and envisaged things, and not clearly on the only method they feel that brings success.
These days teachers has modernized their way of teaching, by vloging and blogging and also websites, a few niches on these has gone on to suceed, however teachers teach but are never even around to answer the questions of their supposed audience.

TEACHERS ON STEEMIT.
A short view of the teachers on steemit has been totally surprising, most of the teachers here are the ones that basks in their success, I've listened to a discord channel on a particularlly new channel, and all the founder was teaching was about how he rose to fame and how he engineered a lot of whale to follow his blog, however what he never failed to teach was how his members can focus on their own individualistic type of succees and become successful in their own making, their own experiences and all
The truth sometimes is just a fiction because they way you convey it matters, it either makes impact or comes off as just another fiction, that's why I said earlier that a teacher is only successful as his students, a teacher who teachers multitude of people is just another motivational speaker, he makes impact but never really gets to instill knowledge, that's why some post on HOW TO MAKE IT ON STEEMIT never really teaches people, it just motivates them, and motivation is like a seed, without soil which is the main knowledge, it will die.
√
TEACHING IN YOUR STUDENT'S PERSPECTIVE.
sometimes we have to understand the perspective of our student and their psychological angles, before we can device a means to teach them, there are many students in the class of life, and employing just a method in teaching all of them, will only result in leaving them more confused and more demented.
Psyching a Student's mentally, may differ when you meet another who needs illustration and images to understand, and that's why @Surpassingoogle is a great teacher, if you look at his blog post, you will be thrilled at the impact he makes, and the knowledge he instills because he teaches not only from the perspective of success, but from trying times,hard times, with various life illustrations and allusions.
√
WHO IS A REAL TEACHER?
A real teacher is he who devises various methods and angles, illustrations and imageries in other to impact knowledge and St the same time open for criticism and questions.
A real teacher is one who tends to be sacrificial, in middle school I have a teacher who went to the extent of removing her clothes to illustrate to the students, now I'm not banking on that, I'm only stating the fact that teaching entails doing the unthinkable and going the extra miles.

CONCLUSIONS
When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.” ~ Marva Collins
teacher must understand that they are only as good as their students, and when students fails then their teachers are a just walking effigy.
This concept too must be understood by teachers, and they must carry this at the back of their hands everytime they step out to impact real knowledge.
Also, a good teacher must also acknowledge the fact that not every students are the same and every particular student needs specific methods in other to teach them else their potentials will be hidden forever.
Great writeup bro. I really wish most supposed teachers could read this post and sieve out the truth in it.
I've seen a lot of teachers, but only a few practically appreciate this truth.
Students should be encouraged to use and hone their creativity in the learning process, and not to be treated as passive beings who have got not number six, and are left at the mercy of their so-called teachers, many of whom would kill their initiatives.
Imagine, a teacher telling a student this:
Give me, just the way I gave it to you.
Until many teachers come to terms with what the teaching profession is about; many futures will somewhat lie in obscurity.
Nice animation. Which of the software, did you use?
Kind regards @josediccus.
Nice writeup about teaching and the best way to go about it. One area of particular interest to me is teaching in your students perspective. Putting ourselves in the shoes of the learner. If someone is teaching us, how would we want to be taught. We ususally expect the teacher to be understanding and patiently explain every detail to us. If we really feel that way, then a great teacher should use that point of view to understand the students and what they go through. The golden rule, "Lets teach as we would like to be taught"
It works.

You have done a great deal of justice to this topic. Truth is just a fiction, it is relative to eho tells it. I have come across many post about HOW TO MAKE SUCCESS ON STEEMIT, they are just bunch of repetition that can only motivate. None has actually taught me one or two tricks on how to build my reputation high and make some bucks.
This justify what you said about good teachers employing dimensional strategies to illustrate to their audience. If a student has not understood, you have not schooled him properly as a teacher. I think the success record of a teacher in teaching is somehow in synch with the students record of understanding — both walks in paripassu.
Am loving your blog posts and am learning. Thank you
Excellent topic with nice headings
