A lot of it tallies exactly with what I want to do as a (science) teacher, and the qualities I hope to develop in my students (and myself).
I particularly like his clear distinction between blindly accepting different views and evaluating ideas based on evidence. I think this is the trap people fall into when they say that teaching creationism in science lessons is offers a 'balanced perspective' on evolution- and it's a very important one to be aware of.
