The Zen of Teaching.
Mahon, J. Patrick
Educational Leadership, v48 n6 p35-36 Mar 1991
After 21 years as an educator, a high school principal discovered that learning how to ski gave him new insights into teaching and learning. After encountering failure and frustration on the slopes, he would have become a ski school dropout without his instructor's encouragement. This administrator returned after the holidays with a better understanding of students as learners. (MLH)
