What I have learned

What I have learned this year about myself is that I have alot more patience than I thought. When I first started in teaching high school student, my thoughts were how could they be so clueless. Then I began to realize, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich exercise. They do not know what I know unless I show them. I hardly thought I could slow down enough to actually teach them anything. Especially considering all that needed to be accomplished regarding my program. i.e. Certification Accreditation etc. However, when told, shown and given an opportunity to physically do it. The students come through regularly. With a little constant nudging in the correct direction of course. But I must say, this year is far better than last year.
