What's Your Hidden Curriculum?

I had a teacher who was much like you, though they feel exceedingly rare. Rewarding and encouraging earnest participation isn't emphasized enough for how powerful an impact it has on the student.

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, it was the few teachers that did the same for me that inspired me to become a teacher. From the teacher's side, it is a very risky thing to open up discussion when you don't know where it will go. You lose control in the moment - but in the end you gain students' respect. It's also a good lesson to show your students that you don't know everything. And, in fact, you are still a learner yourself. Who wants to have a conversation with a "know-it-all?"
