Francesca: I do agree one can become complacent if not careful if one has been either teaching for a long time or teaching the same subject or iteration of that subject. What sparks me is that being also a musician, I look at it as a performance, be it in the actual or virtual classroom. Each performance is unique and individualized, although the structure and topics have uniform expectations. I consider each class an opportunity to excel and personally believe I must exceed in all cases. I do critically analyze what I can or should do differently after each class and try to integrate that into the next one.
