My learning curve has been through the roof lately! So, here are 5 things I am learnING...no mastery yet, for sure!
1. How to teach upper level college students in such a way that work is engaging and practical. I love what I am doing and the students have shown exemplary thought and work.
2. How to grade exemplary students. As each is engaged, their work is excellent. On paper, it looks like I am an easy grader; even though that might be part of the story, excellence is excellence.
3. How to relate to college professors who have much more experience than I do. Having been a leader, I find myself taking a seat in the back of the bus, which is very different; observation from this perspective is not all bad. In time, I will move to a seat closer to the front.
4. How to live on less. Since moving from WA to AR, and a subsequent pay cut, the challenge has been how to realign our family budget.
5. How to enjoy small town living. I have lived in many large cities. Now, living in a town of 13,000 people is so refreshing.
With all this learning, I am thankful for every part of this transitioning process!
