ABSTRACT
It is not surprising that educators doubt, question, and revise their roles continually. The literature bombards us with all of the things we are supposed to be: experts, resource people, facilitators, counselors, mentors, models, reformers, and activists. We read that we should love our subject, share our enthusiasm and passion, be knowledgeable, consider learners’ needs, organize and structure learning activities in a clear way, be good listeners, establish a supportive learning climate, motivate learners, use humor, challenge students’ perspectives to encourage critical thinking, promote involvement, provide positive feedback, use learners as resources, and consider learning styles, to name just a few of the suggestions.
