Some personalities are more adept than others at a given stage of development at recognizing these, and their inherent usefulness when consciously and skillfully employed. I vividly remember them even better in retrospect as used by my most talented teachers, and am glad to now be able to revisit them in my mind though only intuitively perceived at first. Thanks.

In a world where everyone loves ascribing to themselves labels that are debilitating on some perceived level, there are some students that, consciously or not, revel in it. Being model, manager and motivator can be perceived as an exercise in tact to some instructors.

If an instructor is truly self actualized in terms of teaching style, there is no need for him/her to feel like he/she is forced into becoming a machine, as I have heard newer instructors complain. It is the basis for more, much as it is described herein.

Most important to do a technology run through, no matter how long you have been at a campus--other instructors using the room do crazy things with the equipment sometimes....

It's like Schopenhauer's porcupines--only with conditional needles, and unconditional warmth.
