I feel like a teacher

This week I certainly felt like a teacher in my C.E.R.T. class. In the class I educate the students on community emergency responders during disasters. Last week the students demonstrated search and rescue techniques. Well as you know Georgia has suffered from major flooding and was declared a disaster area. On Thursday before we started class I had a student raised her hand shouting Ms.Kelly I have something to tell you. The student was about to explode. So I acknowledge her by asking her what is it. The student stated she was looking at channel 2 action news and they were talking about the C.E.R.T. volunteer. She added they were talking about the same thing you have been teaching us. Then I another student said I saw that too. At that moment I felt like I was truly teaching. AOH HA

Hi, Angel - great lesson shared, and isn't it amazing when we, or our students, can relate our material to their personal lives, or to current events? Learning is greatly enhanced, and set inductions have the same purpose. All the recent flood activity, and the attention it garnered, made for very relevant and interesting set inductions. Thanks for sharing!
