If I find I have checked "yes" to most of the questions, I probably have a candidate with the disposition to teach. * Has a "can do" attitude. * Can identify with diverse populations. * Thinks all students can learn. * Believes students are able and worthy. * Sees the larger, long-term goals Long-term goals Financial goals expected to be accomplished in five years or longer. of teaching. * Is people-oriented rather than thing-oriented. * Believes building relationships is a key to learning. --Mark Wasicsko Mark Wasicsko, a former department head, is dean of the college of education at Eastern Kentucky University Student Life The Eastern Kentucky University Office of Student Life works closely with Registered Student Organizations (RSO's), Greek Life, and Thursday Alternative Getaway (TAG). , 420 Bert Combs Building, 521 Lancaster Lancaster, city, England Lancaster (lăng`kəstər), city (1991 pop. 43,902) and district, county seat of Lancashire, NW England, on the Lune River.
