I believe that teaching is about engaging the mind. It is about introducing students to conceptual frameworks with which they can, in profound way, understand, master, and incorporate educational concepts and strategies in productive ways. In short, for me, teaching is about challenging and inspiring students to think critically.

...being familiar with the subject material: improving one's score also requires the right test-taking skills, such as pacing, eliminating incorrect responses, strategic guessing, and alternative strategies (such as backsolving and plugging-in-numbers).
