For a dozen years, I’ve been part of an event at the Poynter Institute focused on helping college professors get better at teaching. I started as a presenter and then became a co-organizer – and it is the most terrifying thing I do each year. Trying to figure out how to help my peers be better is one thing, actually standing in front of them is another.
