Hi Karen:
Good description. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that in addition to all you've stated, a teacher must be willing to perform all of these important activities. Believe it or not, many teachers are not willing to put forth that extra effort that will assist their students down the road to a successful outcome. They may be unwilling, unknowing, or just plainly don't care.
Unfortunate I'd say.
Regards, Barry
