How do I start thinking like a teacher?

The assignment we had to create our own school with a group as well as creating rubrics for good teaching skills and the tables assignment the first day of class, were the three assignments that jumped out at me when I read this question. I think that these assignments taught me the most about what it was like to think like a teachr instead of a student. The very first day of class I was already wondering; How will I arrange the tables in my class? Will I have tables or desks? Will it make a diference? What do I do if it helps some but hurts others? There was just so much going through my mind i was overwhelmed that a simple assignment could have such an impact. Then there was the creating our own school assignment. We were allowed to think outside the box for this one but I think you got to see some great things because you got to see the different ways people viewed it. Kurt, Tyler and I did the private Science and Math school, others did the alternative ed school, then there was the Sunny Dale school, and even though I missed the presentation there was a communist school apparently. then there was the rubrics we had to create from the brainstorming we did. That to me was great, obviously they weren't something to live by but it was good that we as a class were starting to think about traits we thought a good teacher should have.
