The best teachers ask big questions.
Who were your best college teachers? Which changed your thinking or your life? How did they do it?
Techniques aren't what distinguish a great teacher, Dr. Ken Bain found in a 15-year study of 63 highly successful college teachers (What the Best College Teachers Do, Harvard University Press 2004). He's vice provost for instruction and director of the Teaching and Learning Resource Center at Montclair State University NJ.
