  2. Reflections In a few paragraphs, reflect on the following questions: • What do good teachers do? • What are the most challenging aspects of teaching?

  3. Expertise • How did you come to expertise in this domain? What are the characteristics of this process? • How did you handle difficulties?

  4. Thoughts on Expertise • Critical to be interested in the topic • See improvement through practice, repetition, putting in time • Learn through trial and error, making mistakes • Helpful to work with an expert, especially in a hands-on way (although what is most helpful depends on the learner) and getting specific feedback • Important to have a concrete goal in mind and a way of measuring where you are relative to it, self-awareness with regard to a standard • Social connections might help you stick with it, especially at the beginning • When you get stuck, it’s sometimes helpful to dissociate or separate from it for awhile
