One of my big lessons in the evolution of communicating the value of this work to wary listeners, is that the skills in the teaching space utterly reflect the skills to communicate outside it. Marj was an innovator here – understanding that the motivation to learn can not be supplied by the teacher. Sure you, the teacher, feel safe when you know that you have “procedures” to follow, such as “Alexander’s teaching procedures” but the hard question you’ve got to ask your self is this: who is really interested in that? In “chairwork” or “tablework”?
