Abstract:
Celebrities, athletes and even politicians are frequently identified as role
models for most impressionable students. But the reality is, outside of their
own home, one of the greatest role models in a student’s life is standing
in front of the classroom. Teachers are people to look up to and emulate.
This paper attempts to discover some of the essential qualities and skills that
would help teachers and the students they teach achieve their full potentials,
and also some key characteristics that contribute to teachers and instruction
eectiveness. This paper also attempts to highlight the features of 3H (Head,
Heart and Hands) model in eective instructional approach and theorizes that
the 3H attributes in combination with Bloom’s Taxonomy will produce eective
21st century teachers. Hence, this article endeavors to create awareness and
contribute to the transformation of teachers toward reflective and visionary;
confident and competent teachers. After all, eective teachers will inspire
their talented students to live up to their full potentials. Eective 21st century
teachers are in the best position to shape and equip students with the desired
21st century
