In response to the recent challenge from te@chthought, I'm participating in a 30 day blogging mission, starting September 1st!
Day 4
What do you love most about teaching?
I love the creativity of teaching! I love watching students create projects and then work hard, following it through to completion.
I love the creativity of lesson planning. Any given class can be a performance, a showcase, a workshop, a brainstorming session, a group discussion, a movie theater, a think tank, a laboratory, a research library, a social gathering, and more!
I love the creativity of the student / teacher dynamic. This relationship goes back to the beginning of time, and it's still radically relevant. My favorite is when "the teacher has become the student," and "the student has become the teacher."
I love the creativity of learning! There are so many learning styles, that the approach each student takes to their learning is so unique, like an individualized signature.
I love the creativity of collaborating with my colleagues. Interdisciplinary units can be very exciting, because it's always a combination of source materials, the energy of team-teaching, and the merging of two classroom cultures. Two heads are better than one.
