New Teacher Mistakes

If I dont know a answer to a question, I would tell the student I will find the answer and get back to them. We are here to teach, as well as continue our education as instructors. I feel that is showing I am human and can learn every day also.

As a teacher I also ask the student if they can try and figure it out as well. I find that sometimes I learn from the students :) I then make sure to try and find the answer and get back to the student. I always make sure to follow up with my statement.

Hi Rebecca,
You are on point! We do not know everything. As you do, it is good to let students know that you don't know, but you will find the answer. When you tell them you will find the answer, of course, we must provide a response at some point, hopefully the next class meeting.
