What instructional challenges do

you face?

From Sara Mosle “Building Better Teachers,” The Atlantic: Sept. 2014

• “Teaching is not some mystical talent but a set of best practices that can be codified and learned through extensive hands-on coaching, self-scrutiny, and collaboration.”

• Teaching is “a profession of the mind (as well as of the heart) . . . ”
