POPSThe "seven habits of highly effective teachers" I think this is actually a pretty good summary of some important traits for teachers to cultivate. It's based on observations of a small group of award-winning primary teachers, but it has broad applicability, I think. Sure, it's a little vague, and it's kind of predictable, but sometimes bullet-pointed lists can be handy things anyhow. The source has more quotations and more detail.

POPSRethinking Terrestrial Pedagogy: Nature, Cultures, and Ethics In this article, I offer a clarification of the ambiguities surrounding the pivotal concepts that have shaped and will continue to shape environmental education movement in the United States and beyond: nature, conservation, sustainable development, and environmental justice. I point out that dualistic frameworks not only polarize environmental educators' ethical, political, and pedagogical values but also oversimplify complicated ecological issues. It is critical to generate inclusive and collective pedagogical efforts that recognize the interactions between the natural and the cultural, the possibility of integrating ecocentric and technocentric conservation education movements, and the need to foster humility for ongoing dialogues concerning sustainable development and environmental justice.

POPSTreading Dangerous Ground
"Or does the religious left have to mobilize much as the religious right has? On the one hand, I feel that these efforts are vital to counter a noxious breed of conservatism that is trying to change the face of American liberty. On the other, I worry that by emphasizing the faith based nature of our morality, the religious left is effectively doing exactly the same thing we are opposed to the religious right doing -- that is we are trying to impose a morality based on religious precepts. Does the fact that the morality is more open, more tolerant, more permissive, and more accepting of other's rights to freedom of conscience excuse the fact that it is, in fact, imposing our morality on others? In the long run, I'd rather see that than the imposition of the religious right's morality.
