    A Beautiful Distraction

    /No Comments

    A Beautiful Distraction Teaching-learning. How do you teach someone to learn?  It’s a beautiful distraction. Learning to teach isn’t quite the same when you realize you have to train others on what you’ve just learned.  You must offer the simplest and traditional training first.  It is here, that you make the decision of what not to do as well. A Vision of Dance.  It’s a Beautiful Distraction. New approaches are only incorporated when you understand that some change or actions can work, and work well.  New approaches should be looked at,  as beautiful distractions.  But, not everyone will adapt to new approaches, or accept outside assistance.  Some will fight off change…

    Making The Grade – It’s Crunch Time!

    /No Comments

    Making The Grade – It’s Crunch Time! Making the Grade – It’s Crunch Time! Anyone who has spent much time at all in education might understand the term Death-Bed Repentance.  I had another teacher spell that statement out for me this week as we were trying to motivate our one shared student to get his work done.  Death-bed repentance, or simply stated: – those last minute adjustments to assignments -picking up on any  late work -actually showing up to class instead of just leaving your recorder there -cramming information into our brains for quick purging Loans and scholarships are all on the line now, and for a fraction of the time,…

    Hiring a doormat doesn’t come without pitfalls

    /No Comments

    Hiring a doormat doesn’t come without pitfalls I debated on writing this one. It gets a little rough in places, and I really don’t like rough opinions. But after talking with an old friend the other day, he convinced me to do it – for him. It is always hard to watch others suffer un-needlessly. To my friend who is feeling the burn, this one is for you. Employees are becoming more concerned about being victimized for being themselves, not just for the way they are doing their jobs. It’s a two headed dragon! I wonder if doormats are a new phenomenon created by our business culture, or if they…

    On the ledge

    /No Comments

     On the ledge – Overcoming fears Trait theory is focused on recognizing and assessing individual personality characteristics. Fear is a Trait In talking with a young college student just recently, I learned that she is preparing to present to a group of kids who are incarcerated in a regional detention center in our area. She was trying to determine which methods to use to teach these students about learning, and now asking “questions” is specific to all things in life. At first she was going to use the analogy of a McDonalds Big Mac with Coke and Fries, versus a kid’s burger with no condiments on it, as a representation…

    Endorsements or Smoke and Mirrors

    /No Comments

    Endorsements or Smoke and Mirrors? In the real world I’m not sure LinkedIn skills and endorsements really matter unless you have the actual degree and/or years of experience behind you. Just copying some cool and trendy vocabulary that you think “might” match your talents, can be costly to you in the end. Really think about those skills – could you get a job in the field that you are listing? Or is what you have listed all smoke and mirrors? Is what you have listed all smoke and mirrors? Like everyone else I have learned that friends are great about endorsing you for things like Microsoft Excel and Customer Service.…
