I'm not out of grad school yet, so this might change, but certainly at this point, I find myself reaching back to college for teaching examples far more often than to anything I've learned in grad school. This may not be a *good* thing, mind, since one of my favorite professors was in the "very fond of digressions that eventually get back around to the point" camp, and I'm not sure I have the second part of that down. But I seem to be very good at the first. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770950068958941330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164185959238733667.post-43652574851387610262008-10-29T09:15:00.000-07:002008-10-29T09:15:00.000-07:00I'm glad you found it helpful -- I always worry th...I'm glad you found it helpful -- I always worry that I'm engaging in way too much self-indulgent reminiscing about my college courses, but I think they shaped what I believe and think about teaching far more than anything in grad school did.Fretful Porpentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11165078003123517013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164185959238733667.post-17182448133514109612008-10-29T07:59:00.000-07:002008-10-29T07:59:00.000-07:00Just wanted to say thanks for this post.

I've been thinking more lately about what kind of teaching persona I want to have (now that I'm doing *slightly* less blind flailing in the classroom!)--it's funny to think about just what we wind up modeling ourselves on.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770950068958941330noreply@blogger.com
