The Importance of Alignment in Teaching

An instructor's role is to set students up for success with the content. If we're just providing the content without any clear guidance or clear map, we're putting people out into the water without life preservers and expecting them to swim for hours and hours and hours. Think of an archery analogy. Yes, alignment is definitely worth it despite those challenges. It is work on the front end. But it also saves you a lot of time as an instructor because you have fewer of the students who are coming to you with these questions."
