Teaching with Novices
Written by intern Vicente who is
from Mexico and on the project for 12 weeks!
Teaching with novices is very different
than probably any kind of teaching around the world. Maybe it's
because of their philosophy of life or maybe it's just because of
their eagerness to learn. But whatever the reason may be, it makes
teaching novices the most fulfilling experience I’ve ever had. On
my first day of teaching at the temple I felt very nervous. I had no
teaching experience whatsoever and I was just thinking how difficult
it could be to keep a group in control. Surprisingly all of the
students in the classroom were very focused and cooperative during
the lesson. This made me realize how hungry the novices are for
knowledge. Of course this made me very motivated to help them achieve
whatever their dreams may be. Even though there are some days when
you feel stressed and lost in your teaching, it is all worth it when
at the end of your week you get to see that all of those long hours
of lesson planning have paid off.
