All of these are intertwined, and lacking skill in one section does affect the other areas. I learned from this class that I want to be an authentic educational leader and the concepts that I have picked up from this class are related to this.

I am not currently employed as a teacher; in fact I am in the development phase for learning how to teach. Over the past 28 years, I have had experience as a military instructor; however, in the military we primarily stick to one style of instruction, “Demonstration, Explanation and Imitation” which in my opinion limits the amount of learners that could potential be reached. In this paper I will summarize my philosophy of teaching and expand on how the results I obtained from the Teaching…

We should live as if we thought that we were going to die at any moment. However, we should continue to learn as if we will never stop living.
