from the article, by marshafamiliaroenright in Savvy Street: "Inspiration is the fundamental mission of the teacher, because of motivations’ deep importance to learning. Active Listening is a powerful teaching tool which promotes an inspiring relationship between teacher and student." I remember a while back, winterwind was discussing this very important teaching skill. How important it is to encourage your student to ask the questions about a particular subject then it is for you to ask questions for the student to answer. Marsha gives some examples of this in her article. Great read and 3rd in a four part series. (The other articles are linked in the piece.)
