Why Do I Teach? (Afternoon Session) by Michael Farabaugh https://padlet.com/farabaughchemistry/why_do_I_teach2 NMSI Summer Series Practicum: CRP (AP Chemistry) en-us 2021-07-12 16:41:53 UTC 2021-07-13 00:16:29 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9ea.png Toni - The development of critical thinking skills, problem solving, and technical writing are essential to many fields not just STEM. Incorporating soft skills such as communication, presentation, and public speaking are also life skills necessary to be successful. https://padlet.com/farabaughchemistry/why_do_I_teach2/wish/1646300383 2021-07-12 19:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/farabaughchemistry/why_do_I_teach2/wish/1646300383 Anne https://padlet.com/farabaughchemistry/why_do_I_teach2/wish/1646301242 Communication skills, the ability to collaborate to solve a problem

I am there to provide information as needed and guide the students when they get off track.

I hope I'm a guide and a facilitator...]]> 2021-07-12 19:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/farabaughchemistry/why_do_I_teach2/wish/1646301646 Cassandra: teaching lab techniques - relate to real world - role: help students grow as life-long learners with the various skill sets https://padlet.com/farabaughchemistry/why_do_I_teach2/wish/1646301655 2021-07-12 19:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/farabaughchemistry/why_do_I_teach2/wish/1646301655 Toni https://padlet.com/farabaughchemistry/why_do_I_teach2/wish/1646301882 They are thankful for their "Chemistry bible" which is the book of notes I provide them at the beginning of the year. They are really appreciative of the opportunities to collaborate, explore, do labs, and write up the experiments.  Apparently my lab reports are harder than the ones in college.  The ones that have reached out to me years later say that they like that I did not give up on them and encouraged them to go outside their comfort zone

I love being able to explain everyday, ordinary occurrences through chemistry. I love it when my students begin being able to do the same. I see my role as being somewhat of a tour guide leading my students through the CED and allowing them to pause at tour stops along the way to interact with material and pick up knowledge keys that will be useful at future stops.]]> 2021-07-13 00:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/farabaughchemistry/why_do_I_teach2/wish/1646470667 Stephanie C https://padlet.com/farabaughchemistry/why_do_I_teach2/wish/1646489809 Typically students say at the time, and come back to say that my class was the hardest class they ever took, but they learned and in the end they were glad they took the course. One of my former students became a nuclear engineer and came back to tell me of all the things I taught him, that problem solving skills and setting up problems to track units in a clear and coherent manner was most useful to him in his upper level courses.
