Honing those teaching skills...

Okay, so I've been slacking a bit when it comes to my blog. Besides struggling to just keep up with my classes, sometimes I'm just not sure what to write about. I feel like I'm learning so much all the time. I'm already thinking about how I can tweak the structure of my classes next trimester. I want my students to get the most out of what I'm teaching, as all good teachers do. It's strange though when you teach the same class more than once and the lesson is a complete hit in one and a complete miss in the other. I guess that just makes it hard to judge how good the lesson was overall. At the same time though, having the opportunity to teach the same lesson plan more than once tends to bring out overall "flaws" in the way you're teaching. I'm finding often times my instruction needs a bit of "fine-tuning." I'm trying to work more on making my targets and objectives very clear and concise. It can be difficult, but thankfully, I do feel like I'm improving!

One more quick thing, anyone who's into chili (delicious homemade chili to be exact), Red Canyon High is having our annual chili fundraiser this Saturday, November 7, at our Edwards campus. I believe it starts at noon. We also have a great silent auction to go with lots of different kinds of yummy chili!! Please come check it out!
