You must stop frequently to ask questions, comment, seek opinions on the story. While I do not believe that charisma can be imposed from above by changes in prescribed methodology, I do believe that good teachers can learn a great deal from each other. We need release time to observe each other, not in sample lessons, but in everyday situations. We need to spend our in-service time sharing our successes and talking honestly about our failures. I had this kind of experience as a new teacher in the UC Berkeley Teacher Internship Program in 1964-65, and it has sustained me and inspired me all these years.
Sloppy teaching is engendered by the isolation that is endemic in our system.
