NPR on Robin Williams and Teaching

There have been many tributes to the actor/comedian Robin Williams in the past few days. Many reflect on the tragic loss of such a talented man, while many speak of the horrible toll that depression takes. This piece by NPR, What Robin Williams Taught Us About Teaching, is worth reading prior to the start of another school year. The second-to-last paragraph is particularly meaningful to those of us who believe in student-centered learning.
