One thing I have recognized about good teaching is having the ability to be flexible.
Teaching is not always about having a fixed agenda, but being adaptable and fluid. Constructive teaching is having the confidence to react and adjust to changing circumstances. Sometimes, it means only getting 10 percent of what you wanted to do in class done. It's about deviating from the course syllabus or daily schedule when there is enhanced learning elsewhere. Good teaching is about the creative balance, the yin yang, the “going with the flow” and enjoying every minute of it.

Ah yes - Ying Yang - seems to pop up all the time. You have learned well, grasshopper.
