Recently my students at NOVA just gave a huge presentation for class. All I have to say is 'wow.' What a great job by them! It was one of those moments where they did exactly what I asked them to do. Of course not every group/person was awesome, but for the sake of this post, I choose to focus on the great ones!We are heading into the 7th week at NOVA and the 5th at GMU. My GMU classes have a lot of great discussion. It's exciting because once they don what I ask them, and they excel at it-I can push them. Push them farther than the normal. You remember those classes in college that you actually got something out of?!? Yeah, those few and far between ones that are applicable. That is what I strive for mine to be every single day.
It gives great encouragement when I have a student say to me, "This my favorite class," or "I really think you are an awesome teacher." All I can say is, I love my job!
