Reading, writing, and listening

This week is training week for new instructors in our program at school. Because of the federal funding, there are tons of forms to keep up with for each student, and we have to be sure to dot every i and cross every t. I’m really looking forward to it, though. When teaching and writing, I’m in my element. It’s not so much imparting knowledge to others as opening their minds to new horizons, helping them see just a little bit further and a little bit broader. I love to see a new glimmer in someone’s eyes, and feel alive when the teaching goes both ways, when I delve into a conversation with someone where we are teaching each other. But for now, another day of training.
