How do I start thinking like a teacher?

There's a clear distinction to be made between learning how to become a teacher and learning to think like a teacher. One I think I have a pretty good handle on; the other I think I'm making good progress on, but I'm not quite satisfied with. When I make an effort, I can see a particular lesson as a teacher might see it, but for the most part I'm still looking at school through the eyes of a student. Probably the most helpful thing in this area is the mentoring program at Mt. Blue Middle School. When I'm there, helping a student to understand a mathematical concept or introducing them to a reading comprehension strategy, I feel the most like a teacher.
