Wow! I am feeling very inspired. I agree with all of the 'secrets' to great teaching. Although I am not convinced that everyone has the potential to be great teachers. I believe that teaching is an inherent skill. In particular the passion for teaching. I know a lot of 'good' teachers but what they are missing is that passion to be all they can be and more, I am not sure that this can be taught. I also think that having a sense of humour and having fun is incredibly important. Thank you for an engaging and thoughtful presentation.
