Positive Attributes

  1. Enthusiasm and Passion – When teachers are genuinely excited about content and care deeply about student success, it shows—and it spreads.

  2. Consistency and High Expectations – Structure combined with belief in students’ abilities provides a motivating sense of purpose and safety.

Negative Attributes

  1. Overly Controlling Behavior – Micromanagement can stifle student autonomy and creativity.

  2. Low Expectations – Students quickly internalize the belief that they’re not capable when adults don’t expect much from them.
