Abstract: Abstract This study intended to explore what the key elements of being excellent teachers are. Therefore, we engaged in two stages investigations. First, a questionnaire of analytic hierarchy process was developed via literature reviews and interviewing with eight experts, who won the award of golden medal in excellent teaching in the year of 2016. The questionnaire includes two layers. Items in the first layer are teachers’ traits, classroom climate, and external resource utilization. Items in the second comprise of passion, responsibility, cohesion, continuous learning, teaching plans, teaching skills, oral expression, classroom management, workshops, local community, virtual community, and professors’ supports. Second, we invited groups of teachers and parents to fill out the questionnaires respectively and expert choice software was adopted to enact statistics. The results of their perspectives indicated the weights of the first layer separately as follows: teachers’ traits occupy (64.0%; 41.7%), external resource utilization (20.0%; 41.6%), and classroom climate (16.0%; 16.7%). Additionally, the overall top three items in the second layer from teachers’ aspect are passion (18.8%), responsibility (18.3%), and continuous learning (15.3%). However, the overall top three in the second layer from parents’ aspect are continuous learning (13.5%), professors and college students’ participations (12.9%), and passion (12.7%).
