So the people who know me know that I have wanted to teach for a long time. Last year I got a chance to do so with the local community school. Most people thought I was insane for taking 40 students yet I pulled through, and achieved my goals for the class. My instructors were very impressed with how I handled my class, and the work my students produced. I had so much fun I told the community school that I was a going to teach the 2013 class as well. This year I have 70 students that is ruffly 1/3 of all the students in the school this year. I have been really enjoying myself this year as the improvements I have made to my course are really working well. This only partly has to do with my big news. As you all know I have been working with my instructors to help plan the upcoming CCOPE convention in may. To get into this group two things have to happen one you must teach photography, and two you must be approved by the heads of the organization. After reviewing my lesson plans, and work it was made official I am the newest member of the Canadian Photo Educators. This means that I am now a real teacher, and a recommendation for post secondary photography teaching positions.
