Hi Cara: All of us involved in teaching can better relate to our students as we approach a better understanding of ourselves. We have blind spots that usually require help in identifying, and then a willingness to change. Both can be difficult tasks, depending. Peer reviews, callroom observations, self-analysis and self assessment, student crituiques, supervisory comments and observations, even trusted friends who we know will give us honest feed back are methods to identify trends that reflect on areas that may need improvement. The harder part is addressing the areas needing improvement. I believe that unless one sincerely wants to make improvements, little will change unless there's a drive to do so, and a willingness to make it happen. True change can only come from deep indide each one for it to be meaningful and permanent. Regards, Barry
