Not being a "sage on the stage" has been hard at times. However I have reworked my classroom so that I would talk to the complete class for 120 seconds in a 80 minute lesson. 90% of the time it is students talking about their learning and conveying / testing their perspectives and understanding of the issues. When I do now talk to students it is with them rather than AT them, questioning their assumptions and validity of information sources.

I also have a teaching assistant who is very talented. He helps identify students who are struggling. Sometimes she focuses on subject engagement and mastery while at other times he focuses on students social and cognitive skills.
