Abstract

While I have won eight teaching awards—two of them national—the thought that I am capable of conveying pearls of wisdom about teaching seems as ridiculous today as it did when I started teaching 12 years ago. I do, however, feel comfortable sharing one “secret” of my success. My advice to new teachers is always as follows. Turn it inside out: Focus on the students as great learners, not on yourself as a great teacher.
