There are competent teachers
and there are GREAT teachers.
The lessons great teachers
share
are about real life.
One of my favorite teachers
would present three or four ways of arriving at
calculus solutions.
She wasn’t just teaching about calculus.
She was teaching us
that there was more than one way
of getting to any goal.
That lesson was priceless.
Terry Starbucker
shares a lesson from one of his favorite teachers.
This teacher would present
his exam questions
from hardest to easiest.
The hard questions would have to be answered
before moving to the easiest.
The lesson was, of course,
to do the most important things in life first.
Are you teaching/mentoring at this level?
If you aren’t, why not?
That’s interesting.
My physics teacher would give a test with 5 questions and then say, in order to pass you only need to answer 3 or them (60% is the passing grade). So just answer 3 questions you think you know and be on your way…
