Abstract
What are your concerns in a teaching environment?
Dr. Martin Jaffee discusses some of his strategies in teaching, especially the use of reflection. He comments on how his true concern in the classroom is to make students reflect on their own lives in the light of the religious experiences of others, and not to turn a student secular or religious.
