Last November 23 was our first day in our Creative Teaching Methods class. Honestly, I am really excited about this course. I have learned a lot from Rev. Son with my last course with him as our professor, and I believe this is going to be a challenging, yet enjoyable one again.
On that day, I am blessed to meet my classmates. The atmosphere in our class was indeed friendly. It is so happy to meet Pastors and Educators where I'm going to learn new things. I even appreciate our differences; in our age and in the kind of ministries we are involved.
Upon discussing our Course syllabus, I'm a little bit overwhelmed with all the things we have to do. But our professor challenged and motivated us, especially about the art and habit of reading. OH! and this is really one of the things I'm not really good at. Though I am really trying my best, because, just like our professor said, I am in a graduate school, I should really learn to do it. And I believe, there are a lot to get from books, good books :)
We started our first discussion about the Roles of a teacher. I was reminded of how God called me to be one, and that I have may different roles to fulfill as an educator (and then suddenly I miss my high school students *sigh*) It's not really just about teaching, but it is also more of establishing good relationships.
Then we also talked about the differences of youth and adult learners. For me, this is very useful because 4 months ago, I started handling the youth Bible study, and then for a month, the young professionals too. Knowing these, I am now more conscious of how I should prepare my lessons for these two groups.
I am grateful to be enrolled to this class. :) (though it's a Saturday class, hahaha)
