Hi Brian, In response to you question about how to help your fellow instructors to capture some excitement about what and how they are teaching I would suggest offering them quick and easy teaching techniques that they can use in their classrooms. For example in visiting with a fellow instructor that expresses a concern about how hard it is to learn the names of students you could suggest that he/she use 3x5 cards on which the names and some significant fact about the student is listed. By doing something simple like this and they have success with it they will be more than likely to come back to you for more suggestions and then you can give them more techniques that will help them with making teaching easier. I have found with my professional development seminars that if I can make teaching easier instructors are more willing to listen and implement. The things I share with them are quick and easy to develop like guided notes or graphic organizers. Gary
