Instructor thoughts ...

ElGato,

Good post!

One way or another I've been a 'teacher' for quite a bit of my adult life - at a couple colleges, as an industrial-type trainer (current) and as an NRA Instructor and Training Counselor. There are four things I have observed that hold through all of it:

1. I'm never as prepared as I would really like to be

2. I'm always at least a little nervous in class - in fact I feel that if I ever go into a class and have absolutely no butterflies or concerns, something isn't quite right

3. I have yet to have a class that I felt went absolutely perfectly -- I always spot something I would like to improve

4. In any class, I can learn something from the students -- and that has been especially true in the NRA Basic and Instructor classes I've done.

Thanx,
TraCoun
