What it means to teach
- creating content (maybe)
- select and organize materials,
- motivate and guide students,
- facilitate discussion, and
- assess learning outcomes.
For many, education is predominantly about consuming knowledge
from trusted sources and seeking the wisdom of established
experts. Study is seen as a relatively private activity which
finishes with a series of exams. It's not commonly perceived as
an evolving practice in which personal views are openly shared
and in which students' opinions become a valued part of a
communal learning experience.
