As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!

Blog Post - Week 7
This past week in my own teaching I felt a little disconnected which prompts my question to you, "What was the moment (or moments) when I felt most disconnected or disengaged as a teacher - the moment(s) I said to myself, I'm just going through the motions here?"

Family and Friend Night

Last night my students hosted their first "Family and Friend Night", this is where the students invite their family and friends into our classroom/salon and they receive hair, skin, and nail services for a discounted price. We offer $5 hair cuts! I was actually really nervous on how this would go, but it was a huge success. I had 12 of my advanced students stay after school and work. They were all extremely busy and were able to practice the skills that they have learned. Since our budget has been cut tremendously, we have not been able to purchase all the supplies and equipment that we need. Because of the students hard work last night, we earned over $130! The girls were so excited and I must admit, so was I! Not only is this a wonderful experience for the girls, but its also a great fundraiser!!!!

That was a really nice thing to do with your students. Question? Did the hair cuts look good? Seems to me that you are enjoying teaching your students. Keep up the good work and relax and handle the problems with confidence. Hope you have a good week and weeks to come.

Hi, Randi - I love what you are doing with your students, especially given that this great activity actually made money for your program! Also think Courtney should drop by one day for a fade, so he can see for himself! Keep up the creative work!
