Thoughts On Teaching

[matt_arnold]

A few weeks ago, I applied to Grand Circus as a Javascript instructor. They asked me to fill out a questionnaire about my teaching style. Answering the questions was very thought-provoking, so I'll share my answers with you. Let me know what you think.You're teaching an 8 week adult bootcamp, from 9am-5pm daily

You sound like a good teacher.

Re the three women, I think you have some good thoughts there. It's been a long time since I've had a programming class, so I don't have a specific suggestion beyond your thought of letting the women work together instead of splitting them up and being talked over etc.

The high school student definitely has something going on. Competent counselors would be a good resource, assuming they aren't there just to collect a paycheck.

A teacher who asks a student in a non-confrontational way after class if there's anything they can do to assist the student is an open door. It's up to the student to walk through.
