"Guide on the side or sage on the stage"

On of my favorite teacher friends, Claude, says he would rather be a "guide on the side than a sage of the stage."   I want to record (make at least one short educational video of him teaching an economics concept) because he is so good at drawing students in to contribute to the discussion.  Claude is like Socrates.  He also makes the students feel like they are smart, know stuff and can contribute.
