Teaching for Beginners

Katherine Ann W. Holt

Resume

When I was in high school, many people told me that I would be a great teacher.  At the time I didn’t get it, I wanted to be a writer, in drama or in art, not a teacher; I didn’t see what was right in front of me.  I didn’t see it when parents told me what a great babysitter I was; I didn’t see it when the summer camp director told me how relieved she was that I could be a group leader for a summer, which eventually turned into five.  I just didn’t see the signs until 2013, when I realized how much I enjoyed teaching new things to children.  After that, I spent the next half decade learning everything I would need to know to be a great teacher; not just how to teach them the subjects they will need to know later in life, but also how to help them grow as people as well.
