To cultivating a students mind I use several forms of professional teaching etiquette. By necessity, modeling, mentoring, and monitoring are required.
As an mathematics adjunct faculty member, if I didn't model, mentor, and monitor students, I believe students evaluations would have eventually force me to pursue a career that didn't require human interaction (i.e. theoretical research).
If you have a passion for what you teach, and you want your students to have the same passion, modeling, mentoring, and monitoring are prerequisite skills.
What do you think?
