The answer is here:
A teacher should always be well prepared and know more than they’ll need in class. This gives them self-confidence, a positive feeling that makes the job...

@MALUSE The six ways of thinking. (6 hats) 1. Blue hat - manages the process 2. Red hat - considers feelings, both positive and negative. 3. Green hat - looks for alertiveness, new ideas and creative solutions 4. Yellow hat - explores values and benefits 5. White hat - focuses on facts and data. 6. Black hat - judges and plays devil's advocate.
