      1. Red flags for teaching: when someone says they have to "dumb it down" to make something more understandable. To me, it shows a fundamental lack of respect for your audience. That you have lower your standards to present to them.

      To me, teaching is synthesis: taking difficult to understand concepts and synthesizing and reordering concepts to manage cognitive load. Do a good job educating your audience without sounding condescending. That is the beginning of an excellent relationship with your students.

    Without respect for your learners, there is no opportunity for effective learning.
