About me

Activity

This is great.

I have often had the following though about my instructors (and some supervisors) in the past....

"I just need to separate the information from the delivery"...  People can be great at their job as far as duties are concerned, but terrible at teaching/motivating others to understand.  People skills are almost as important as knowledge and expertise. 

WOW!

It was so interesting for me to view my students as my customer!  I have always thought of them as someone who HAD to be in school and that I was doing them a "favor" (not providing a "service").
It makes total sense that if I change how I percieve them, it wil in turn change how I treat them.

Most of our students are paying alot of money to be in school and I should view my roll as the reason.

Very enlightening!

Discussion Comment

I have found that if I can make my culinary students understand that this path requires a hands-on approach, they begin to understand how it differs from the typical online format.  It makes the class content more important to them because they understand the need to take responsibility, be prepared and attend class every day.
