“Early in my academic career, I focused on what to teach (i.e., what theories and models to cover). Over time my attention shifted to how to teach (i.e., what classroom activities and teaching styles are most engaging). Today, I care most about who I teach (i.e., the lived experiences and needs of my students).”
