My concern is that few teachers are pursuing any sort of professional development to that end. Credentialing school didn’t lend me much of a hand in terms of creating an engaging presentation. (Lots of work on management and engaging activities, though.)

So we now have this assumption that it’s genetics, that the funny, fun, well-spoken teachers were born that way (and thereafter “called” to teaching) when, I dunno, in three years I’ve gone from a inveterate mumbler to someone with a unique style.

It’s too exciting not to talk about, though I reckon I’m building it up a little too much.
