On Twitter a few years ago, I remarked that I got more out of teaching at an intermediate level than a beginner level.
I admire people who teach at a beginner level and I was just expressing my own preference but at the time, people almost seemed to take offense and I couldn't really articulate why I preferred more intermediate-level teaching.
A few weeks ago the "how to drawn an owl" meme came up again on Twitter. I suddenly realized that was the reason I'm drawn to intermediate-level teaching. I'm interested in bridging the gap between the basics and the real thing.
