Neher: A Word on "Good Teaching"
- Teaching is not a natural gift, but is an acquired talent based on specific steps and skills which can be learned.
- Teaching is dependent on how knowledge is shared, not your level of knowledge.
- Capture teachable moments; teaching is not synonymous with lecturing.
- Target your learners' needs while demonstrating your own strengths.
- Be satisfied with small teaching achievements.
- Don't expect too much of yourself each time you teach.
