Abstract

All teachers develop their own ideas about teaching and learning, butmost of us have too few opportunities to focus directly on thoseideas. Over the past few years, teaching a course on collegeteaching for graduate students has given me such an opportunity. Twoyears ago, my participation in a panel at the Midwest PoliticalScience Association meetings provided a chance to pull together someof my thoughts about the role of the teacher. This essay presentssome of those thoughts.
