Being a good teacher is important to me. How do I know whether I am one? What can I do to become (a better) one? To help answer this question I drew on my expertise as a health psychologist. Being healthy is important to me. I know whether I am healthy as I know what to look at (e.g., endurance, body weight, eating habits). I also know that to be in good physical shape, I need to strengthen my core. How do we strengthen our core as educators? Get ready for some pedagogical powerlifting!
