Let Yourself Be a Student

Making the transition from student to teacher can be a challenging process. You need to go from concentrating on yourself to focusing on leading an entire class and paying attention to every single student in the room! Plus, you’re now using your voice to communicate instructions to a large group of people, sometimes for hours at a time. There is also the difficult challenge of managing teachers who attend your class and struggle to adapt to their role as a student. Today we explore all of this and more as we unpack the do’s and don’ts of being a student teacher, why generosity is such a wonderful characteristic in the classroom, and how to approach tricky scenarios in the studio. We also reflect on the luxury of attending other people’s classes as a student, and the power of starting on a clean slate and allowing yourself to learn something new.
