Like Deanna, I too am becoming a career college instructor with no formal education in teaching. I practiced in the profession that I will be instructing in for over 12 years, and felt confident in my skills, I was always striving to improve and grow. I have not been practicing for the last 5 years, so I'm reading and doing internet research to get up to date with all the latest changes. I feel nervous about applying what I know, preparing for, and anticipating student questions, but I learned alot from ED101, so I'm hoping to apply this and become an effective , confident instructor.
