Grass roots

One thing I think that's important to remember as we get ready to leave here kind of, is where we all came from. The other day a second year music education student was really struggling with an assignment for a music ed class. I didn't like seeing this person's despair so I decided to try and help them get to their end goal. I pulled out all my resources, used some good probing questions, and even allowed that student to borrow some of my resources to read through and help get the brain moving. Obviously no spoon feeding happened, but rather a guidance toward some thoughts that would help. That student now has a greater understanding of the topic and apparently really wow'd the prof with their presentation. I hope that when we all leave and become big people teachers we remember to come back and help present opportunities for those in the up and coming at the universities, because they need guidance too and we've got some special tips and experiences for them. Just a little experience I thought I'd share.
