percentages of a teacher
In my 8 years of teaching I've learned several things, but one of the things I'll never forget is that each instructor should be 10% advisor, 10% friend, 10% comedan, 20% disiplinarian, 30% actor, 20% roll model. You may not agree wih the percentages I gave to this, but thats what makes us all different. The fact is that you cant be JUST one of these. You have to have a little of all of them if yopu want to suceed in this industry,
Ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto! These days, I am not just responsible for instruction, I am also responsible for retention. I have a great deal of respect for the challenges some of these students face in attempting to complete their education here. Often, I have to deliver a lot more than course content to steer them towards fullfilling their ambition of graduating and becoming a successful, professional tech.
I agree.
Students frequently rely on instructor experience for areas outside the course work.
If you want to maintain credibility you have to be capable of doing more than just reading a lesson plan or power point presentation
I agree with most of the categories. I think that it is important for instructors to wear several hats throughout the day to accomadate the various issues presented by our students on a daily basis.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for sharing this formula. Well said.
