Good teaching is as much about passion as it is about reason.
It's about not only motivating students to learn, but teaching them how to learn, and doing so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable.
It's about caring for your craft, having a passion for it, and conveying that passion to everyone, most importantly to your students
