How can I use my knowledge as a learner to be a better teacher?

During our class projects when we addressed each of the ten standards. One standard was discussing how as a teacher we need to focus on the ‘level’ our student(s) are at and teach them at that level instead of jumping too far ahead. This really shows how we are learning our students and becoming a better teacher. We have also been given some tips from Dr. Theresa on how to adapt from our mistakes. Like when we were passing around the portfolios. By sending the portfolios opposite way than the presenters we don’t “jam” things up. Also we learned that it is a good idea to scan the whole class room and figure out our ‘weak’ spot, where we tend not to pay attention. These are tricks that I feel I will keep learning as I progress as an educator and I hope it will help my future students. Since I have worked a lot with ‘students’ already at the day care and when I gave riding lessons, I can see how learning is important. I learned fast that when getting more than one person on more than one horse, you should help the more experienced person fist so then they can start warming up while you focus more of your attention on the younger student.I am still curious if there are ways that will help us, as teachers, learn faster from the students. Meaning, how can we learn best from the questions they ask? Or how is the best way to handle certain situations?
