New Links! DCBiotech Presentations at NABTDr. Toby's POV/IMHO Our subject knowledge should be like an iceberg. What we teach may look like the surface, but our power to help novices to learn comes from those depths of our own understanding that we can draw upon to optimize our "teachable moments" to pique interest, help students to connect, or "see" things in a different way. Our interaction with students should be like a gardener germinating seeds. Sometimes we have to cajole the students to help them along, but we support and nurture them to their unique flowerings. Start the school year off right: |
