Observing Colleaugues

I went to school to observe one of the new adjuncts in the speech department for whom I'm a mentor. It is not required that she have me do this and yet she asked me to sit in on her class. I think this shows great character in wanting to be a good instructor. Personally I think the hardest presentation to do is one in front of my colleagues. Then add on top of that the fact that I'm in her discipline and I think it would add even more pressure. The pressure was on for me too. Good teaching comes in many shapes and forms and I had to step outside of what I would do to anaylze how she was doing. I made some notes and we were able to talk right after her class. Overall, I think this was a great experience for both of us.
