Well, If you are reading this blog you have successfully added me to your friend's list. I have read and graded your blogs and I must say that you are all off to a good start. I'm really excited to teach this class which means that I'm excited to share your lives for a semester.
I have some rules I would like you to follow
- have fun
- trust yourself
- don't overthink things
- be creative
- relax
You will probably hear these comments several times this semester so I just wanted to give you a heads up. See I'm a preschool teacher way down deep so my teaching technique is all about the process. I plan to trust you to learn as you explore, just the way I would with a group of children in my classroom. But as adult learners, you have some advantages and some hindrances.
The biggest advantage is that you can read and research.
The biggest hindrance is that you might not have had permission to trust yourself in learning before.
I can already tell this class is going to be a good one!
