ABSTRACT

If only we knew exactly what makes a master teacher. We would require a course for all future teachers that would instantly transform them into master teachers. We might develop pep pills to provide these aspiring teachers with enthusiasm for their subject matter and their students. Would it not be glorious? The days of unprepared instructors with their dreary lectures would be a thing of the past. Instead, the teachers of the new millenium would be dynamic classroom teachers who model scholarship, seek the company of their students, and teach life’s most essential lessons. Students of this new breed of teacher would experience the unadulterated joys of learning, and our culture would flourish. The cycle would be self-perpetuating as these students become the master teachers of tomorrow.
