2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?

No, it can be applicable for almost everyone

3. For a teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the professional competencies to plan a lesson, execute a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute and report grades? Explain your answer.

A teacher's brilliance is not determined by how successfully he or she can prepare and execute a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, or compute and report grades. These are just signs that a teacher is carrying out his or her duties in accordance with his or her job description.

A teacher's excellence is determined by his or her outputs, which are the students. We can state that a teacher is exceptional if his or her students get considerable learning from them. Students have an excellent instructor if they can apply what they've learned in class to real-life problems. If a teacher inspires pupils to pursue their aspirations and set greater goals, then the instructor is exceptional. A excellent teacher is one who can make a difference in the lives of his or her students. A teacher does not have to be a super genius.

4. For a teacher to be great, which is more important - personal qualities or professional competencies?

Personal Qualities is more important.

A teacher is supposed to possess any or all of the following qualities: openness, accessibility, simplicity, friendliness, honesty, cheerfulness, humility, calmness, nonjudgmental, empathetic, fairness, and justice, among others. Students feel at ease approaching and speaking with such teachers. Personal traits are also crucial since learning happens by osmosis,' especially when it comes to student qualities and character.

5. Who are the teachers that we remember the most?

Teachers that were kind, amusing, bright, or enthusiastic are often remembered by the learners. They recall teachers who genuinely cared about them. They recall teachers who were encouraging or helpful, or who saw something in them that no one else did. They recall teachers that pushed them to think and challenged them.
