Hi Julie: Good thoughts, Julie. I think we basically all have the better traits that make for good instructors or we wouldn't last long in the delivery of education business. Weaker areas are always present, but I believe their probably not as magnified to others as much as they are to the individual. Yet, I can argue that many times a teacher will possess or demonstrate undesirable traits that really need help, and the instructor is completely unaware. I believe correction comes in two parts. One is identifying the areas that need or require improvement. The second is the sincere willingness of the instructor to want to make the improvement, and carry it through to fruition. Really, neither is an easy task. That's why I think it requires a genuine commitment to oneself, and to the students they're assigned to instruct. Regards, Barry
