In an earlier post I said that years of curriculum design, teaching pedagogy, and educational theory fly right out the window the minute you enter a GED classroom. And that sentiment still rings true. I do find teaching GED to be instruction in its purest form and one of the things I love most about teaching GED is that every session doesn’t begin and end with curriculum. It’s the moments of connection that bring me the most joy. It’s the moments when a student’s face lights up when they have conquered a tricky math problem. It’s the moments when they begin to build connections with other learners and encourage each other. It’s the moments I have to inspire them into realizing their full potential. It’s the moments when I get to see them take the first steps into their limitless future.
With that in mind, I want to share a story about one of my former students and what he is accomplishing in his life.
