Philosophy
Not drastically changed, but added
Teacher’s knowledge of content
Ability to set strong foundation of expectations, and have system of consequences
Fine line between being teacher/friend
Wayside
Future Challenges Keeping track
Discipline/handing down consequences
Patience with smart-alecks and general envelope-pushing
