[Nfb-krafters-korner] Our classes

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Hello,
 
It has been brought to my attention that in the past the majority of  
students  had their supplies purchased and ready to work to create the  craft at 
the time of the class.  That is the way we advised our teachers to  create 
their classes.  
 
We found it very helpful that the students worked along while the teachers  
did the classes.  If there was any questions or you needed a better  
explanation you could ask at the very time you were trying to do it.   Sometime it 
helps to just have another student put it in other words for the  light 
bulb to go on.  Our teachers work at a pace to accomodate and keep  most of the 
students at the same pace.  Our teachers are fantastic in  giving extra one 
to one help if someone needs it, too.
 
It seems like the number of students are growing that are just listening at 
 the classes and less folks are actually working on the project.  This is a 
 shame.  Our classes were designed for students to participate and learn  
with hands on.  We allow classes to be posted 4  to 5 weeks  before beginning 
of class to give everyone time to purchase or order their  supplies.
 
We will continue to teach classes in this way and feel that it is important 
 to teach this way.  Our teachers put a lot into their explanations and 
time  to prepare   a class for you.  Please take the time to participate in  
the class and ask your questions during class.  Not all teachers provide  
written directions and notes and not all classes are recorded.  We thank  our 
teachers for taking the time and effort to teach us new krafting skills and  
crafting projects.
