Interactive Exercises
Practice self-diagnostic skills through partner observation drills and communication exercises.
Teaching Scenarios
Learn to incorporate error recognition and correction into your instructional approach.
Mindset Transformation
Shift from projecting perfection to demonstrating the process of continuous improvement.
The Foundation Principle
Students learn more from watching you work through a problem than from watching you perform flawlessly. When you can demonstrate not just what right looks like, but how to recognize when something is wrong and systematically correct it, you provide your students with a complete toolkit for self-improvement.
Take These Skills Into Your First Classes
- ✓
Framework for turning unexpected mistakes during demonstrations into teaching opportunities - ✓
Language patterns for discussing errors in a way that encourages rather than discourages students - ✓
Self-monitoring techniques for maintaining awareness during instruction - ✓
Understanding of how to balance demonstration of competence with demonstration of learning process
Perfect Timing for Your Journey
This session serves as a bridge between your training and your practice. It acknowledges that your real education as an instructor is just beginning and provides you with a framework for continuing that education throughout your career.
“Your journey as an instructor doesn’t end with certification—it begins with the understanding that great teaching requires great self-awareness.”
