Teaching a class is never easy.
Content to be communicated to people who need to hear it.
Expectations we set for everyone to learn how things are done around here.
Values (as a part of expectations) we believe and encourage alignment.
But most importantly, seeing in the classroom and understanding people before they even understand themselves.
At least two kinds of teaching in a classroom:
One says, “I help everyone, and they all like my class.”
The other constantly thinks about “I notice things are not working. How can I do it differently to make it better for students?”
When we constantly focus on ourselves, there is little room to care about others.
