I would like to share that on 09/30/2014 I was able to instruct the teachers of Marietta High School. At the end of this day the teachers were scheduled to attend the faculty meeting. This meeting was for the old and new teachers. the purpose of the meeting was to educate the faculty and staff on school active shooter and the procedures and guidelines. The principle allotted an hour for me to give the presentation. I showed the video "Run, Hide, Fight" and then instructed the faculty and staff through lecture and power point. I really enjoy teaching the topic of active shooter due to how common it is occurring and how tragic it can be. I presented this same presentation to the middle school and two days later they had a incident that required a school lock down. The administration and the teachers were prepared and followed the procedures to a tee. The way the school handle the incident made me very proud because hopefully what I taught them made a difference that day.

I think that it is awesome that you had an opportunity to teach teachers. Teachers are often times known as the worst students and can sometimes be overly critical of one another during instruction. To me, this shows just how applicable teaching is in every career. You don't have to work as a full time educator to be a great teacher. Teaching can be utilized in every career and therefore knowing how to be an affective teacher is important. Even if you never teach high school, Chris, NTI has helped prepare you to be a leader in your career field. All great leaders must also be great teachers. :)
