I've learnt that effective teaching actually has seven points to it which all adds up to an amazing teacher! Each point involves criteria that helps create an effective learning environment for the students as well as the teacher. I believe that having in depth knowledge on the subject that you're teaching is the number one aspect to being a good teacher. I believe this because throughout my Jr. and Sr. high years I've ran into some teachers that had no clue what they were talking about and just read the textbook half of the time; it's no surprise when half of the class has to re due the subject in the following semester. A teacher needs to have knowledge in the subject they're teaching in order to show passion and enthusiasm towards it. I speak for myself when I say this; teacher's need to show their interest towards the students learning, if not all they're doing is standing in front of the classroom reading to themselves.
A good point attached to effective teaching was that we need to realize that teaching involves a diverse mosaic of students. Not every student will be an A+ student. Each student learns different whether it's listening, reading the textbook/notes, or actually putting the learning into action, us as teachers need to realize that we need to incorporate all learning ways into our teaching.
I've only learnt 4 of the 7 points to effective teaching, but so far it's making me motivated to becoming an awesome teacher in the future!
