It is so interesting to be in a teaching role. As a student when I would become frustrated with my training I would look back and could see that, even though it didn't feel like it, I HAD made some progress. Transitioning into a more teaching role has been like beginning my training all over again. I am a beginner all over. At times it feels frustrating and I feel like I am going no where. But when I look back I realize that I have, indeed, become a better teacher than I was in the past. The trick is to remember this in the thick of frustration.
The areas that I still need to do a lot of work in are actually somewhat outside of the realm of training. I need to continue to improve my management skills in regards to keeping students in line, interested and focused. This is primarily an issue with the kid's classes as you can imagine. I have gotten better, but it is a constant struggle given my passive nature.
