Well, I'd say push your boundaries as far as possible without putting your career on the line. Be opinionated, and say things that they wouldn't expect a teacher to say; I'm sure it'll give them more cause to listen. It might help to make sure you clearly state your opinions AS OPINIONS though. I've had teachers/profs where you had to sort of discern whether they were just stating an opinion, or something considered to be fact by their respective field of study.
