I think this is something that is generally known to be consistently true but is ofter overlooked as a secondary, or even peripheral, benefit to teaching. I personally think it is one of the best opportunities related to teaching. It is something that lifts, inspires, and motivates me every time I have the chance to teach.
The learning and knowledge gained in the preparation of a lesson would probably be my other favorite feature of teaching... which makes it sound like teaching is a purely selfish endeavor for me... but that is not quite the case. I am exceptionally thrilled to see the progress of my students, as well. Though, because it is such a difficult thing to discern in any meaningful way, I can't say it is a consistently present motivating factor.
Anyway, this week should be a good one. I have a great deal of things to accomplish in so little time!
