Words of Encouragement to Novice Teachers:
"It isn't how much you know - it's how well you can explain what you know. Ask yourself: How original are my ideas, techniques? Would others enjoy these ideas and techniques as much as I do? Can I convey my enthusiasm and encourage a sense of fun and adventure?"
