What Makes A Teacher Outstanding?

As part of life well-roundedness I am exploring substitute teaching, which requires that I apply for employment with the school unit. One question:

"Describe the skills or attributes you believe are necessary to be an outstanding teacher."

Communication - presenting information in a way that is understandable and interesting.
Selflessness - motivated by improving the lives of others more than oneself, in a compassionate way.
Patience - including the poise and perseverance in the face of adversity.
Organization - in presenting information, and oneself, to build confidence and trust.
Humility - encouraging others, and respecting their opinions, values, and circumstances.
Enthusiasm - bringing optimistic energy and creativity.
