It can be achieved only when teachers have certain characteristics and qualities in them. A scholar may properly be devoted to his special subject, but the teacher must always think of subject matter in relation to its value in life and its use for children. The great teacher is concerned with what the pupil can do with subject matter and how knowledge affects the learner, and not primarily with the mastery of a subject for its own sake. The teacher begins with the innovative capacities of the child, his experience in the home and in the outside world, his physical, moral and spiritual potentialities and work with him to develop a person who can meet the problems of life in an intellectual way. Thus the teacher is potentially the integrator of personalities, the counselor and guide to learners, the developer of citizens and the servant of the state as guardian of the individual. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Teachers who inspire and motivate the students are included in the category of "Effective Teachers. Teacher effectiveness plays a pivotal role in the teaching learning process. It, being the hub of the whole programme, needs close observation and critical analysis. It is generally agreed that the "goodness" of an educational system to a great extent is dependent on quality of teachers available to implement it. An effective teacher may be understood as one who helps in the 1 Chapter –I Introduction development of basic skills, understanding, proper work habits, desirable attitude and value judgment. Teacher effectiveness concerns with these outcomes and the objectives of education. It points to the effects of a teacher in the classroom situation. A school may have excellent material resources, equipments, building, library and other facilities along with a curriculum appropriately adopted to suit the community needs, but if the teachers are misfit or indifferent to their responsibilities, the whole program is likely to be ineffective and wasted. The school is the greatest tool available to spread information to others.
