  4. Preventing the “Wise Owl” Syndrome • Remember that your job as a teacher is to be the “Organizer of the Learning Process”. • Remember that you are “human” and that learning along with your students can be a rewarding experience for both of you. • Use every opportunity to engage your community in assisting you in delivering quality experiences for your students.
