I agree with Worley (2001) that there is a difference between effective and great teachers. He argues that while effective teachers are skilled, great teachers have a mission, a teaching impulse, and a vocation to teach. Being a great teacher is my underlying motivation as a good teacher. Good teaching goes beyond just learning design, and/or just interactions with the student. It avoids teaching paradigm where the teacher only pumps out knowledge to students without knowing the needs for students (lecturing students without building on their prior knowledge) and without their active engagement (instruction paradigm). Moreover, learning environment should be such that it promotes diversity and positive learning. In this paper, I will attempt to describe my teaching philosophy from the good teaching perspectives as described above.
