Teaching a Class

I have had the opportunity to co-teach a class this month. We're half-way through the month, and I LOVE IT! Its a professional development class; I'm helping students with their career portfolio's (cover letters, resumes, references, master applications) and preparing for interviews. It's interesting to me how my students (most of whom are older than me) are completely unprepared to write a cover letter, and that the idea of transferable skills is so completely foreign that I had to not only define them, but give specific examples and even help people add to their list of transferable skills because they cannot identify them.

I'm enjoying the class, the grading process, and figuring out how to communicate effectively and help these students position themselves to find employment as they graduate from their respective programs. I'm excited to have more opportunities to teach, and hope they become more frequent!
