Hal Goldman is a man of many talents. The former corporate civil litigator turned history professor also runs a 130-acre farm in Montebello, Que.<\/p>\n

But Goldman says nothing has held his attention like teaching.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the thing I\u2019ve done the longest in my life that I\u2019ve continued to enjoy,\u201d says Goldman, who is 10 years into his \u2018new\u2019 profession. \u201cWhen I walk out of class, I\u2019m always up and happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

And he\u2019s good at it. He\u2019s racked up six educational awards since he became a contract instructor at Carleton, including the 2013 Provost\u2019s Fellowship in Teaching Award<\/a>. Goldman was recognized both for excellence in teaching and for his commitment to fostering that ability in others.<\/p>\n

Goldman says his work in that regard isn\u2019t necessarily special \u2013 it\u2019s a responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that any time students are being placed in a role where they are also teachers, that should be a development process for them as well,\u201d says Goldman, who works with both teaching assistants and facilitators in Carleton\u2019s Enriched Support Program<\/a>. \u201cThey have a right to come out of the process more skilled as teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ESP program gives university hopefuls, who don\u2019t fit the traditional academic requirement, a chance at first-year university. To help with the transition, the program pairs its participants with third- and fourth-year mentors \u2013 students Goldman calls \u201cthe cream of the crop.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Goldman ran the training program for facilitators he made sure every stage provided development opportunities. Out of the hundreds that apply, about 20 facilitators are hired.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe screening process and training process is incredibly rigorous,\u201d Goldman says. He tells students they\u2019ll only face such scrutiny again if they become astronauts. But he demands that dedication from himself too. He once combed through 100,000 court records to research a thesis that contradicted existing consensus.<\/p>\n

And it is clear he cares about their success as educators.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese facilitators are so unbelievable,\u201d Goldman says. \u201cIt\u2019s peer-based education, so they have to be able to manage and inspire the students.\u201d<\/p>\n

It likely isn\u2019t a stretch to say some learned that brand of enthusiasm from him. His philosophy seems wrapped up in one question: \u201cWhy should (students) care if the teacher doesn\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n

Goldman says he can name every teacher he\u2019s ever had as far back as kindergarten and that some of his drive came from those passionate instructors.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always wanted to be the kind of great teacher that I had, so whenever I\u2019m feeling lazy I think about that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
