Fighting our way out
“When we read, we start at the beginning and continue until we reach the end. When we write, we start in the middle and fight our way out.”
– Vickie Karp
“No one is asking, let alone demanding, that you write. The world is not waiting with bated breath for your article or book. Whether or not you get a single word on paper, the sun will rise, the earth will spin, the universe will expand. Writing is forever and always a choice — your choice.”
– Beth Mende Conny

What the Best College Teachers Do by Ken Bain
Epilogue: What can we learn from them?
1. Part of being a good teacher is knowing that you always have something new to learn–not so much about teaching techniques but about these particular students at this particular time and their particular sets of aspirations, confusions, misconceptions, and ignorance.
Good teaching is not just a matter of technique. The best teaching is often both and intellectual creation and a performing art.
