When talking to my peers about different views of teaching and grading, I don't think I would be too head strong with my advice. I am open to learning--especially right now. Therefore, first I would ask them why they chose one way to d o something versus my way to do it. Mr. Logan does things a bit differently from how we are taught in class; however, inste ad of telling him my thoughts, I ask him for his reasoning first. I seek to understand his way before I even solidify my own perspective. This way I can articulate my own views, which he ends up asking for anyway. Teachers learn and teach constantly, so we need to shed some pride and just take others advice. It can be hard to listen to some some of the comments one would come across, but if other teachers think you are listening to their advice, then they will be more likely to be tolerant of your thoughts. Don't expect people to listen to you when they know you are ignoring them.

Being an athlete I think I have learned over the years how to accept constructive criticism. Being an aspiring coach, I feel as though I am still in the process of learning how to properly give constructive criticism. During my stay in school, I did not feel as though it was my place at all to give my mentor any “advice” or criticism. Instead I looked for opportunities to expand my repertoire of teaching tools. If I disagreed with how my mentor handled a situation, I would ask them why they did whatever it was that they did. By simply asking I understand a new method that I would have not known. In efforts to deepen my knowledge I would ask what was going through their mind when they took action. By understanding where my mentor was coming form I was able to better understand the situation. In retrospect I tried to talk with the student who was involved with the altercation. When we know how each side of the spectrum feels about a certain situation, we can dissect and evaluate the situation properly and with clarity.
