WHAT IS TEACHING ABOUT?
Teaching its most literal level educating, imparting knowledge is the most
fundamental part of a teacher’s job. It is more obvious than inspiring, motivating
and forming relationships.
But just like many other elements of the job, the act of teaching is personal. No
two teachers are the same. The way you teach is unique to you and by teaching
you bring yourself to the classroom: your personality, your experiences and
your ambitions. Each teacher has your teaching style.
