When introducing myself and explaining my background, I always make it a point to let them know that I was in their shoes. I understand the feelings and nerves that they are going through and that its a human reaction that is to be expected. Trying to calm them with a joke or a walk around to give them a tour of their new kitchen usually seems to put them at ease.

Esablishing Goals for school

One thing that I have done that helps and reminds students why they are here is having them set goals. I use this exercise with a class that is just starting. Every week when they meet with me about their grades, we go over the goal that they set for that week and see if they had met it or not.

Getting the point across about the field that the student is entering

For me teaching a culinary career is difficult for the fact that it not only requires physical abilities but a lot of mental ablilites. A lot of other careers require this. What is an easier way to relay that information besides through personal experience?
