Abstract

All teachers develop their own ideas about teaching and learning, but most of us have too few opportunities to focus directly on those ideas. Over the past few years, teaching a course on college teaching for graduate students has given me such an opportunity. Two years ago, my participation in a panel at the Midwest Political Science Association meetings provided a chance to pull together some of my thoughts about the role of the teacher. This essay presents some of those thoughts.
