Are you graduating with a teaching degree in December and want an opportunity to gain hands-on experience alongside seasoned educators in a supportive and collaborative environment? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, this is a great prospective job for you.

Ask a question, and then be.....quiet.
We all, adults and children, have a desire to be heard and understood. In order to truly understand each other, we have to ask questions, and we have to actually listen to the answer. In order to actually listen, we have to be quiet. In doing this, we’re modeling good listening skills (important skills in life). Here are some more reasons why this is such an essential skill:
We’re showing we care what they have to say. When we interrupt, we make it all about us.
Wait time - Sometimes it just takes time to listen and formulate a response. Give that time. They have important things to say.
No pressure - It can be frustrating or annoying when there is pressure to respond quickly.
When asking questions, we should also be aware of what we’re looking for. Was our question truly to seek information or understanding? Were we, without even realizing it, asking a question to put down? Was the question necessary? How will we respond if we don’t get the answer we’re looking for? Do we want our kids to have and express their own thoughts, or just answer in the way that elicits a positive response? Question carefully. Listen thoughtfully. Love fully.
