Class Tuesday was fine and went quick. I didn’t develop any particular insight into my own skills, but settled in and just participated and taught when asked to. The newest folks don’t hesitate to ask me on technical matters which I kind of like.
So Teacher calls me up yesterday and tells me that he thought I was doing better with Teaching. We went into a long discussion about the various students and their skills.
Unfortunately I still have a long way to go when it comes to teaching. Teacher has a spontaneous approach to what the lesson might consist of, but he’s been doing it so long a majority of his work is pretty flawless and everything dovetails nicely with the theme of the night. Mine stuff is pretty basic and pretty bite-sized.
He ended the conversation with, “I noticed that you seem more relaxed when you’re teaching.” And that I need to count with more authority. I guess my quiet wheezing doesn’t motivate the class very well.
