If you fancy it, check out Marva Collins' book Marva Collins' Way: Returning to Excellence in Education. Might help, might not, but worth a look perhaps.tag:leonief.blog.co.uk,2007-02-24:/2007/02/22/being_observed~1788805/#c2883019LeonieF2007-02-24T13:33:14+01:002007-02-24T13:33:14+01:00I do want to teach. I enjoy explaining concepts and helping people understand something that they didn't understand before. I enjoy helping people gain qualifications so they have more choices in life. I just wish that I was actually teaching more instead of having to say things like "get off your mobile phone, put it away", "please don't talk when I'm trying to teach" "get on with your work" etc. I try to make lessons as fun and interesting as possible with a variety of activities but, sadly, with some students this is fruitless.tag:leonief.blog.co.uk,2007-02-24:/2007/02/22/being_observed~1788805/#c2882998LeonieF2007-02-24T13:30:56+01:002007-02-24T13:30:56+01:00I do want to teach.
