When a teacher becomes a mirror, not a model

Teachers are urged to shift from being perfect role models to becoming mirrors for students. This approach encourages genuine thinking by reflecting students' ideas back to them, fostering self-trust and making learning personal. By embracing uncertainty and viewing mistakes as information, educators empower students to become confident, independent thinkers rather than mere imitators.
