Teacher works with different groups and so plays different roles such as tutor, nurse, guidance, counselor, community leader and resource speaker. “Teacher “ to teach well is what society primarily demands of teachers. The learning of the learner is the teacher’s main concern. Teacher is the single most important factor in the learner’s learning. The effective teacher makes the good and not so good learner learn.
The ineffective teacher adversely affects the learning of
both good and the not good student. Learning gains realized by student during a year in the classroom of an effective teacher were sustained over later years and were compounded by additional years with effective teacher.
even after a student was placed with an effective teacher, and the negative impact was discernible statistically for approximately three subsequent years.

one year, they will enjoy the advantage of that good teaching in future years. The negative effects of a poor performing teacher on students achievement persist through three years of high- performing teacher.
Conversely, if student have a low- performing
teacher, they simply will not outgrow the negative effect of lost learning opportunities for years to come.
