"[T]he key to understanding the best teaching can be found not in particular practices or rules
but in the attitudes of the teachers, in their faith in their students’ abilities to achieve,
in their willingness to take their students seriously and to let them assume control of their own education,
and in their commitment to let all policies and practices flow from central learning objectives
and from a mutual respect and agreement between students and teachers.”
– Ken Bain, what the best college teachers do
