[NFB-Krafters-Korner] My teaching experience

 Thanks Bernice. I've learned from others who have tought before me and if
sharing my experiences encourage someone else to give teaching a try or
learns something new then I've been a success.

Shelly,
You did a fantastic job. You had the right amount of patience and lets get
it done. I would be glad to take another class from you.
Thanks,

My teaching experience

 

Teaching for many can be a scary thing. I know from experience the first
class I tought was pretty scary and I'm still pretty new at it and still
learning, but I was reminded of something very basic in the last class I
tought and that's the power of the act of kindness. Just before my class a
person asked for the pattern even though they hadn't signed up for the
class. It's not normal practice to share your pattern if they haven't signed
up for the class and shown up to take the class. In checking with the higher
powers I was told it was up to me if I wanted to share the pattern. I opted
on sharing the pattern with a friendly reminder of the importance of signing
up to the classes. Shortly after I received a thank you note telling me how
grateful they were of my kindness since they are dealing with a family
member and close friend being affected by covid at this time. It warmed my
heart to think that a simple pattern brightened someone's day and that their
knitting at this time may be providing them some comfort. Thank you Crafters
Korner for reminding me that we never know what others are experiencing and
that crafting can make a difference.
