How do we learn something new if we don't empty the cup first?
Always have a beginner's mindset.

"Some people go into teaching because it is a job. Some people go into teaching to make a difference." (anonymous)
And I say, some people go to school to learn. Some people go to school to prove themselves.
As my favorite yogin would say, that's part of the journey. ;-)

Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique but is rooted in the identity and integrity of the teacher. Good teaching takes myriad forms but good teachers share one trait: they are authentically present in the classroom, in community with their students and their subject. They possess "a capacity for connectedness" and are able to weave a complex web of connections between themselves, their subjects, and their students, helping their students weave a world for themselves. The connections made by good teachers are held not in their methods but in their hearts — the place where intellect, emotion, spirit, and will converge in the human self — supported by the community that emerges among us when we choose to live authentic lives.
