Reflection about Effective teacher

I learnt about the main point of PETA itself as an introduction the first meeting in PETA subject, that is about effective teacher. I thought that the kind of teacher are only two, they are good teacher and bad teacher, but there is a term "effective teacher". First thing that came up in my mind was

"Who was your favorite teacher, and who was the teacher that you hate". That was the question that made me confused. Actually I don't really remember who is my favorite teacher and the opposite one. However, when I was in Vocational high school, I really amazed to my English teacher, and the chairman of my major in Vocational high school. One time, when he (My English teacher) was teaching my friends and me, he ever express that he was forgotten the meaning of an English word in Indonesian Language. From that expression, I could grab that he is very expert in English language. Then, the chairman of my major. He couldn't speak English, even his ability in speaking English is worse than me, but he had a great motivation and desirability to capable in speaking English.

I really wanna have a motivation as great as the chairman of my major, and capable to speak English well, but not forgetting the Bahasa Indonesia.

The point that also very important for me as a educator candidate is how the teachers way when they teach us, is it effective? Is it right  that a good teacher is a teacher who has effectiveness in teaching?

When I was thinking about what is an effective teacher, the thing that comes up in my mind is the teacher who has students that always get a good score in the test/exam. It could be indicated that teachers' goal in teaching the students has fulfilled.

I think, an an effective teacher is a teacher who has good preparation before they teach, has good manners, clear in explaining the material, objective in giving assessment, creative, and understand what the students need. So, the purpose of teaching can be fulfilled.

I hope I can learn more about what the effective teacher is, and maybe tips and trick to be an effective teacher/educator.
