So today I took on the role of coordinator for farmcraft. I must say its harder then it looks, especially when the teachers are expecting different things and you have to follow their every want and need. In spite of all of this the job was fun but tiring, so good luck to all of you who have yet to do it. However, even though I was the coordinator and not really teaching, I still found myself teaching and even learning.
I was amazed at the amount of stuff the kids took in today even with the safety introduction that is supposed to be done. So I count that as teaching. But for the most part I in many ways was the student today, not learning from my cohort but learning from my own doing in a way.
I learned that its hard to keep the time on track when your doing something else and not really paying attention to your timer. But all in all I think and also from what I was told it went smoothly. So all in all when your coordinator your more or less the student in learning on the fly.

My hat's off to you Aaron for taking on the role of coordinator. I suspected it is harder than meets the eye. Often dealing with the "needs and wants" of adults can be just as challenging as dealing with kids I think. Glad to know things went smoothly and you learned some things.
ReplyDeleteI bet coordinator is a hard role, more difficult than it appears to be. GO CAROL. I am glad yours went well. I hope my coordinator-ship is as good of an experience as yours. Lots of learning, in a different role.
