A Teaching Weakness

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

I love teaching. Teaching will always be a significant part of my life. I love observing other teachers and seeing how they teach.

This is not what I want to talk about in this post, but one of my favorite quotes goes, “[A good teacher creates environments for self-learning.]”

Anyway, I know I have some strengths in my teaching abilities. I can organize large amounts of information in my head for presentation, quickly, for instance.

However, there’s something I’m bad at.

I’m bad at isolating certain places of my own life journey. My life journey advances so quickly, that I end up taking for granted what I learned upon the way. And then I assume that others have learned the same things. And I’ll teach on a subject, but that subject requires prerequisite [information]. But I won’t know what the prerequisites are, because I can’t isolate them. They’re already too integrated into me.

Journaling more frequently would help me identify my growth steps. Do you have any other tips?

and so my teachings end up looking like this... incomplete...
