“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” —William Arthur Ward
Working with learners in a variety of capacities, we realize that our understanding of child, adolescent, and adult development and learning has changed significantly over time. Our teaching approach has changed as a result, with the concentration on directing followers in these situations rather than trying to impart our comprehension to them.
