In yesterday’s post I wrote about my love of teaching. In the work I do, there are two areas of learning I love facilitating most. One is helping students learn ways to build effective teams and foster an environment where everyone understands how each member can best contribute to the team. The second is in the area of helping students learn about their strengths.
Throughout my blog stories, I’ve written about key moments in my life and career that led me to where I am today, and particularly about moments and influences that led me to my love of teaching. One moment that continues to be important takes us back to 2008 when for the final assignment of my graduate program, I wrote my Teaching Philosophy.
As a storyteller, one of the genres I’ve loved all my life are superhero stories, including watching DC and Marvel stories on the big and small screen. In workshops on storytelling, I’ve asked folks to think about their origin stories, and as I wrote my posts for July 6 and 13, and today’s, I realized these posts share key points of my own origin story.
