I've heard our instructors discussing plans for each week, which I think is great. <br /><br />I have a cousin working on a pedagogy degree and I'm always running situations from both private and group lessons past her. The art of passing down information and skill is really underappreciated.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13229873505463921052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811893258346327939.post-4465859075743827022010-12-30T20:08:05.413-08:002010-12-30T20:08:05.413-08:00I'm glad that you pointed this out.

I have even caught a glimpse of one of my BJJ instructor's note cards with what he wanted to cover.<br /><br />I don't think many of my students (college) are aware of how much preparation it takes to always be in front of audiences or small groups and make it seem effortless. Good grappling instructors make it look easy but a lot of work is involved or has been put into it over time.<br /><br />And congrats on your certification!Bakari Akil II, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07048932880107339712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811893258346327939.post-68547114722792450292010-12-30T17:50:08.723-08:002010-12-30T17:50:08.723-08:00Yeah...trying to talk to a group that's a mix ...Yeah...trying to talk to a group that's a mix of different skill levels.
