About the role
Several years ago I set out on a quest to find and interview a number of great teachers across America. One of these was a fencing teacher who had recently retired at the age of 90. During our interview he asked me to pick up a fencing foil, and then he put both his hands around mine to adjust my grip. The new way of holding the foil did feel better. When he removed his hands, I had the strange sensation that I could still feel his touch. I thought back on that moment often, and it became a metaphor for what I came to understand as the acid test of teaching: success lies in what lingers, what lasts, how the student is forever changed by the experience.
