As such, if someone were to come observe, they may or may not see much. Sometimes I am very active and the students have lots of questions and an observer would see me interacting/coaching regularly. Sometimes, the students “get it” on their own and my might just respond to a few questions in which time the observer would just see me sitting up front or walking around. You never know. Under neither circumstance would they see a lot of formal “teaching.” |
