One of the most important things that I have learned as a student is that you must continue to grow and learn. In order to remain productive and to contribute to those around you, whether it be your students, family, friends or others that depend on you, it is important to keep learning. The many concepts, knowledge, strategies and tools that you learn as a student at NTI are not only useful in the classroom which is our main purpose but can also be applied to our everyday lives, especially when helping others.
The areas where I have been able to learn and grow the most, while attending NTI, is in the area of classroom organization and management. I have learned a lot from the teachers and friends at NTI as we all have been juggling full time jobs, attending school and living our lives.
I certainly am not able to go at the pace I was once able to go at, but by applying what I have learned in classroom management and organization to my teaching career and my personal life, I have become more effective as a teacher and a person. I have learned how important it is to keep growing, learning and making contributions to others and our communities rather than retire and sit on the porch.
Thanks,

You are so right.....I learn things each day from my students, other teachers and just society. This keeps it exciting and so interesting. I am so proud of you along with the rest of our class. We have all stuck together througout the program, we have pretty much kept our original calss from day one. That shows dedication from each of us and determination. Continue to do great things in the lives of the students that you come into contact with each day.
ReplyDeleteHi Ron,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post and I agree that teaching is continues learning and a growing process. The essential training we have received from NTI will make us better prepared as we move forward as educators. I hope you continue to grow and become a driving force in your students’ lives. I wish you lots of success and may the teaching Gods be with you.

You are right of course, each day brings a new set of challenges. If we are to succeed, we must meet this challenge. To meet this challenge we too must learn. The will of all that attended these courses have been inspirational to me. The courses are very good, but the inspirations of all made it great. This was by design from the begining. Our instructors had the insight to allow us to learn from each other, and set up a motivational network as well.
