• knowing the territory well and make sure you know the boundaries on what you are willing for them to explore
• knowing what you want to see in the territory - what the highlights are
• being willing to take any path through the territory

• understand how to get from what student's express (active listening and translating) to the highlights
• remind them of the tools that they have and give them new tools as they need them
• keeping positive
