Passing the halfway mark of my internship, I've learned a lot about what it takes to be a teacher behind just a public lecture.
One thing that was mentioned to me was that at the beginning, a new teacher might tend to stick heavily to the curriculum they are told to teach. But over time, a teacher might later learn to fit their lessons to their kids, and not the other way around. With the teacher's own experience, they'll learn about what not only works best for them, but for the students. It is really important for a student to be able to connect to a lesson for them to be able to understand and learn it. This is why it's good to know that each student learns differently, responds differently, and understands differently. After a teacher is aware of this, they are then able to fit their lesson adequately for everyone to process the information.
