Members Ashlee Posted February 3, 2009 Members Share Posted February 3, 2009 College to get my teaching degree, then a teacher for middle/high schoolers in the public school system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted February 3, 2009 Members Share Posted February 3, 2009 Where do you plan on getting your degree? I had actually considered teaching. After I received my Bachelor's degree I took distance classes towards a Master's in Education through BYU and the University of Iowa.

Members kevinmiller Posted February 3, 2009 Members Share Posted February 3, 2009 I would say that I'm a pretty flexible teacher. hehe I have high expectations, though, and I'm somewhat strict. But I never "read from the book." :frog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I never "read from the book." :frog Sounds good! :thumb Seriously, that professor would get up to the podium, open the book to what we were supposed to have already read and just start reading. I suppose if she had been a more dramatic reader it wouldn't have been near as bad, but she read monotone for what seemed an eternity. Occasionaly she would pause to expound on something or answer a question but even then she typically would never say anything beyond what was in the reading or some handout she had used. One of my favorite professors would go over the book the first day of class. He would tell us what we were going to study from the book and then he would tell us what we were not going to study from the book and why. He would often leave out several chapters and he would take the time to explain what the flaws were in those chapters and why it would be a waste of our time to bother covering them in class. He was very practical and honest; and also the only rather conservative minded professor I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kevinmiller Posted February 4, 2009 Members Share Posted February 4, 2009 In my oldest/most advanced class, I have the kids read ahead of time and then we discuss it during class. I take a lot of their advice for changes they would like or how the class could be more effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John81 Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 I always liked the more interactive classes the best. When discussion was allowed and even civil debate to an extent, I always thought the classes really imparted more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kevinmiller Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 I encourage disagreement in that particular class cause I really emphasize conversation for developing their English skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John81 Posted February 25, 2009 Members Share Posted February 25, 2009 Tell me then, what is it you have been doing with your time away if not reading that book? :Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
