Watching A Master

I had the opportunity today to watch a master teacher teach a class. Interestingly enough, this teacher was one of my teachers in high school. As a teacher now, it’s interesting to go back and watch a class led by a teacher that taught you. I quickly found myself sitting down and taking notes with the rest of the students. Why? Because even now, over a decade later, I have a great deal to learn from this teacher. Anyone who has been doing this for nearly three decades has something to offer a young teacher. Listen to your elders and respect them. The seasoned veterans of Dallas education have much to offer all of us. Young teachers would be smart to find a veteran and listen to them about class, kids, and education. You’ll be better for it and sometimes making your own PD is much more rewarding.
