Recently I was rushing through the airport — late as ALWAYS! I saw the moooooooving sidewalks. “Yes!” I thought, “It’s the perfect answer. I can get to the same destination but only faster.”
As teachers, we are called to be just that — moving sidewalks. We serve our students by facilitating them throughout the CONCOURSE. As the ULTIMATE FACILITATORS, we carry our students along with us!
How have YOU played the role of a MOVING SIDEWALK recently? Think about it. Post a comment and let me know!

Hi John,
Nice analogy.
My teaching assignment plus my private students gives me a fairly wide spectrum of students, from beginners through relatively advanced students. For my more experienced students, I feel my role is more to facilitate their learning as you described. For my beginners, however, I definitely feel that my job – to continue your analogy – is to direct them to from the parking lot to the terminal to the right gate.
