More Higher Education
Today was my second day with a fun group of college students. They are in their last year of schooling to become teachers. My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to teach Special Ed Law. Some days I wonder why I would choose to accept the challenge of turning such a dry subject into something someone could enjoy. Not today.
This group of 21 students was just fun. For two days they've listened, asked questions, gotten frustrated, and I've watched lights turn on as they see how what they're learning in class fits with what they'll be doing in the classroom.
If there's a great reward for a teacher, it's watching folks come alive with understanding. I don't care if it's a toddler learning to walk, a first grader learning to read, or a college student getting law. Learning is great to watch.
Now I'm going to get to watch these new teachers try their wings this year and be ready for their own classroom by Fall. Fun!
