Dale, Great idea. From what you have written, it appears that you have a clear idea of what makes up a good instructor and you look for those characteristics in instructors that you observe. We are all models and we have to remember that we never know for sure who might be observing us as a role model. Thus, we need always to reflect professionalism in everything we do. Veteran instructors are great for having developing little teaching techniques that we can observe and will help us do a better job. Experience helps everyone to work smarter and more effectively if we model the right person. You are on the right track in your professional development. Gary
