Assalamualaikum and very good morning to our beloved headmaster, Puan Hajah
Sopiah binti Mad.Ali. my respectable colleagues and beloved students of SK.Sentosa,
Tawau. First and foremost I would like to thank our headmaster for giving me a chance to
present this speech on this lovely Mondays morning.
In this speech I will be talking to you about The criteria of an ideal teacher. We all
have our favourite teachers. There are the ones that augment your love for a subject, the ones
that let you sleep in class, the ones that throw objects across the room, the ones that stretch
your mind, the obviously passionate ones, the overly nice ones, the cool, the clueless, and the
quirky. But what, really, defines a good teacher? Certainly, their ability to teach is the most
important. But is that all it takes?
Through my entire public school experience, Ive noticed the characteristics that
teachers Ive learned a lot from have in common. These five-star teachers, wholl remain
nameless, really define, in my opinion, what it means to be an ideal teacher. In no particular
order, here are the five factors that I think make an ideal teacher.
An ideal teacher should can be a good problem solver. Students have a tendency to assume
that their teacher will come up with a solution for all their problems. This is the toughest test
of a teacher-student relationship. Teachers are largely responsible to solve the problems of
their pupils, without expecting anything in return. It is the main yardstick of being an ideal
teacher.
Secondly, understands student psychology. It is very important for a teacher to
understand the psychology of his/her pupils. Every student is different from the other and will
react differently to situations. All students cannot be equated and therefore, need individual
attention. An ideal teacher knows where the students lack and what their requirements are.
He/she never fails to comprehend the needs of students and tries his/her level best to fulfill
them.
Thirdly, an ideal teacher should be an idol for their students. An ideal teacher leaves a
life-long impression on his/her students and impacts their mind in a positive way. She is a
much valued asset, without whom one can't imagine a life. In fact, perfect teachers are as
important as our parents. Not even a single day of our life will seem to be complete without
them. They are the ones, whom the students can idolize and look up to.

Moreover, a criteria of an ideal teacher is he/she should be a good guide to their
students. Children of a certain age trust their teachers, even more than their parents.
Therefore, it is the responsibility of an ideal teacher to guide the pupil like his/her own child.
Such a teacher shows students the right path under all circumstances and never shies away
from his/her duties. In fact, he/she is always there by the student's side, at the time of need.
Last but not least, an ideal teacher should be a motivator. An ideal teacher never lets
the limitations of his/her students restrict their vision. He/she constantly motivates them to
reach ahead and broaden their horizon. A teacher should encourage and inspire his/her pupils
to think beyond their confines and help them realize their talents as well as the need to pursue
them with diligence.
To conclude, an ideal teacher is the one we respect from our heart. He/she acts as a
guide to the students, while not pushing them too much. Such a perfect motivates them and
boosts their morale. He/she tries to encourage the students and refrains from criticizing them.
The perfect teacher prefers to give positive motivation to his/her students. His/her comments
are always constructive in nature. He/she serves as our friend, guide, educator, confidante,
and a blend of all the good qualities one can posses. Such a teacher shapes the entire life of
the students. If everyone in this world gets an ideal teacher, he/she won't have to look back in
his/her life ever.
