Thought Tweet #830.5 If you are going to teach someone, first find out what they believe they already know.
The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Far too often, we jump into teaching. Far too often, we assume others do not know what we know.
Far too often, we conclude others are doing things poorly or incorrectly because they don't know what we know.
More often than not, we waste time and 'make work' when we assume and conclude others don't know what we know.
We can remedy this by asking simple questions before we give instructions and lessons.
