The most important thing I've learned about myself as a teacher is .....That I'm a ball of fire inthe classroom. I tell myself SLOW down lady you cant cram a ear of Cosmetology in a week ! I'm just eager to teacher my first year students everything they need to be sucessful in the industry. Well I have learned to pace myself , relax and just keep having fun with my students.
Remember that Rome and the art of Cosmetology was not built in a Day!

Selina,
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you are talking about. I want to give my kids everything I know the first week of class so that we can start building awesome projects. But, I am starting to learn that when they get it fast, it doesn't stick. They memorize the facts you want and repeat what you want them to repeat, but they don't truly get it. It is the small things that matter. Again, I am just like you. Trying to learn to hold the horses back and not run so fast. I believe in five years from now, we won't believe the teachers we were now. We will be able to look back and laugh and see how far we have come.
