I have been doing kids class for a while now (and i've become quite comfortable with it), but I have found that teaching adults is different. As I am being thrust into teaching adult class more (which I am slowly getting more comfortable with) I was wondering: What aspects of the classes (the instruction of) do you like more/get more out of? Do you like going through techiniques quickly or spend a good deal of time on them? That sort of stuff. I'm fishing for some ideas on what good instructors do. I really want to have a good grasp on what I'm doing when I hit Shodan. I feel instructing is a very big part of this. People who have taken class that I have taught: I would love your imput too. What good things am I doing/ what bad things am I doing. Elle and Phil: what should I be concentrating on or thinking about when instructing. </P><P>SO, any thought would be great. </P><P>Thanks.Tue, 23 May 2006 15:58:26 GMTfaemorpheus
