Attention, please

What makes a teacher great?

Teaching is like stand-up, except the audience can’t leave.

A good teacher listens to what is not being said.

A good teacher is a tour guide to the world, with niche interests.

A good teacher knows their subject so well, they can admit to their own ignorance.

A good teacher remembers their students are young humans growing, learning, developing.

A good teacher understands that being liked and being respected are two different things. And that liked and respected often overlap in the best of them.
