To help us in priming our discussion, we'd love to hear from you about your own Teachable Moments. Please share a short description of your own strategies for finding the teachable moment or of a memorable teachable moment (for many, Sept. 11, 2001 was the ultimate teachable moment, for example, but teachable moments can arise every time we interact with students, and, some say, can actually be created.):
