This is an important part of the competent teacher model. As per my experience, my best learning has been with supportive and enthusiastic teachers. Surprisingly, I was not successful in classes with teachers who were unsupportive and unenthusiastic, but were considered intelligent. As a result, many have had an opposite outcome to what I experienced. I find it interesting that students and teachers label these teachers as good, considering that they were very intelligent about their discipline but distanced themselves from emotion work. I believe there needs to be a balance regarding the skills teachers should manage to meet students' needs. Furthermore, I found that students who had teachers I described as "good" did not succeed, because they needed an intellectual teacher. This is extremely significant if we think about Connells' (2009) model of the competent teacher and the combination of intellectual and emotional work. To promote good teaching based on the Competent Teacher Model in practice, it needs to be applied to ideologies, approaches, and teacher training and must be accepted by teacher registration bodies
