ObPlug:  You take an online class from Kynn Bartlett in web 
accessibility and/or web management. :)

Seriously, you teach it the same way you teach writing and art and
any number of non-technical things.  People do teach good taste and
common sense all the time; most of us just come from a technical
background (myself included) and would like very much the ability
to lay things out in strong technical terms.  But that's not the
only approach that's needed!
