Abstract: Experts are identifiable individuals whose performances show consistent patterns of advanced level achievement on objective measures over time. Empirical research into the traits of such individuals began in 1899, and a substantial database has accumulated, across some 90 different skill areas and professions. Developing expertise changes the way the mind processes information, and becomes a genuine handicap when striving to teach skills to newcomers. However, a body of research informs us that classroom teaching constitutes a significant skill domain, and the traits identified are consistent with what is known about expertise across scores of other professions and skill domains.
