teacher
All about teachers and the world of teaching; teachers sharing their best and worst interactions with students, best teaching practices, the path to becoming a teacher, and more.
Wellness
The thing I am the most passionate about is helping others. As silly as it sounds, my motto since a young age has always been that it is every human’s duty to leave the world in a better place than they found it. Although this is such a cheesy disney channel type of passion, It is the only blanket suitable to fill the long roles of my courses of studies and passions.

My Passion is my Ambition towards Teaching.
Ever since I’ve had the ability to comprehend the English language, I have been utterly galvanized by it. I remember when I was just five years old, I would go to my grandparents after school on Tuesdays (the day my parents worked late) and I’d clasp my hand around my grandad’s arm and drag him into their garage. The garage was gargantuan compared to me who was tiny. The icy, concrete floor appeared dismal but the multi-colored chalks my grandad owned didn’t. They invigorated my fingers to detain them in my hands and doodle on the garage ground.

Reading Is a Superpower
Like so many millions of other people out there, I’ve always loved reading. Books were a lifeline that I clung to when I was little. My mom and dad divorced when I was a toddler, so every time I was shuffled back and forth between my parents' houses and their drastically different worlds, my books were what comforted me and felt familiar. I hid in stories; my best friends were characters in novels, and I’d rather sit in the closet and read than go to the park or out to eat. I learned how to read very early on thanks to my very dedicated mother who would read to me for hours and hours and hours, and I continued to love books so much that I decided to study them.

Breaking Barriers
Clarence the Tiger, Dora the Unicorn, Ellie Elephant, Ralph the Dog, and Peter the Pig were all ready to make their début. The spotlight was centered perfectly so that not a shadow would cast that could draw attention away from me or my plush animal squad. I was the ring leader, and it was almost showtime. It was time for me to transform from Krystale the Corrections Auditor to Krystale the ESL Teacher. My audience.... well, my audience was 4 or 5 very attentive and eager learners ranging from 4- 7 years of age from Qingdao, China.

I Just Wasn’t
Highschool Mishaps… I think we’ve all had them. Those awkward moments or seasons of life that we wouldn’t want to relive if our life depended on it. That was my highschool years, and not because I was a nerd or unpopular etc… but because I “wasn’t”. I wasn’t a nerd, I wasn’t emo, I wasn’t a prep…and I wasn’t unpopular, but I wasn’t popular either. I just wasn’t. I was the kind of girl that “fit in” everywhere. Wait! (You’re thinking this is a story about “not fitting in”.) No worries I’m getting there.

Steps to Earn Money by Teaching Online
Have a brief insight of market: Before start preparing your course or getting yourself ready for offering lectures on your subject have some research on the strategies and approaches of people who are already offering content on your subject matter. Go through their formats, teaching styles and contents. Observe them as a regular student or a customer who would take their lessons or classes. During this research write your observations, concerns and questions on a page. Note down the queries which remain unanswered even after taking the lecture. These observations will help you a lot to decide what is actually needed in the market and where are the online educators lacking in the subject.This research would may take time but this time is worth spending as it would help you to create things that are actually needed and will help you to grow in the market.

I will do it myself.
I was a teacher for 26 years before I had to go on medical leave and then disability due to chronic illness in 2019. I worked with illness my entire life, but my body could not keep up anymore; teaching is so hard and the hours are long and demanding. In addition to teaching I had earned two master’s degrees, one in varying exceptionalities and one in library information science. I held various positions including special education teacher, behavior specialist, and school librarian.

The Simple Process Of Closely Watching Someone Else Teach
The cohort group exists so that its members can visit each other's classes and make observation of classroom instruction and interaction. For the purposes of the cohort groups, the content explored in the observed instruction is incidental to the process of the group. This does not mean, of course, that content is incidental, but it does allow instructors of different academic disciplines to joint together in one cohort group. A cohort group can be as small as two members, but it has been my experience that three or four is a better number. The reason for this larger number is largely incidental to actual practices; instead observing a larger number of ones colleagues allows one to pick up on and borrow more teaching techniques that one would observe were one only to visit one other instructor's classroom.
