I would make notes as to how I would NOT teach when I got to the post-grad level. What an interesting topic for a post, I shall make the next one on Instructional Accountability. I have some stories to tell about my experiences...and I'm sure others have some to share too. The ones who love to teach, really shine don't they? For them it is all about communicating and facilitating understanding. I hope to be one of these. Thanks for stopping by Aubrey~

I think your article is descriptively accurate in general. Ironically, I once asked a graduate professor what required classes he had taken in order to teach undergraduate and graduate students, his response was chilling: 'None, I'm a content specialist. You either get it or not. I have learned from trial and error how to eventually become a better teacher. We tend to teach the way we too were taught.' So if we continue to do the same thing and get similar results, is that not madness then to anticipate a better result from students? The other issue, and one not really addressed in your article, is one of instructional accountability. In K-12 standardized tests and rights of parents/students help somewhat to ensure teachers toe the mark on differentiated instruction to meet learning needs of all students. Factually, this level of accountability does not exist in post secondary institutions. This is unfortunate. However, not every professor is necessarily like that. Some really do know how to teach and love to teach. Char,
