8 Characteristics Of A Great Teacher
What makes a teacher strong? What differentiates the best from the rest? There’s no shortage of bodies (some dramatically misguided) attempting to solve this riddle. The answers are nebulous at best. Below is a list of traits, some of which may be familiar but many of which will never show up on any sort of performance review. Check them out and see what you think.
1. They Demonstrate Confidence
2. They Have Life Experience
3. They Understand Each Student’s Motivation
4. They’re People, Not Heroes.
5. They’re Technologically Capable
6. They Model Risk Taking
7. They Focus On Important Stuff
8. They Don’t Worry Too Much About What Administrators Think

Concerning NOT knowing to respond to a question: that's absolutely NORMAL, Nobody Is Perfect (me neither...)! I suggest that you tell the truth that you are actually not capable to respond and that you write it down and telling the learners that you will give them an answer next time asap!
The BEST way is to create a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), where you bring in ALL the lived questions and the new ones with the answers; see also:
