Micromanaging
Posted by: dateacher on: December 7, 2009
It never ceases to amaze me how some people micromanage everything, and at work they do so to the ‘nth’ degree. Those people who overtly micromanage wonder me even more – are they missing something in their lives that they have to control every little thing everyone else does. If your employees are doing as [...]

I feel like I may have written a blog post about this, but it bears repeating especially since it’s a big issue for me this calendar year (will explain). Also, it’s been a while since I blogged and I’ve missed sharing my thoughts on teaching and learning.
So – RESPECT – I am not certain when [...]
In a blogging rut

Is it a rut or writer’s block? My last post was about 3 weeks ago. The end of the semester had me busy with exams, grades, and taking on a temp job at a dental office – even more busy. Now that “every day is a Friday (until August 24)” I hope to find more [...]

Well, it hasn’t been quite on year, but it is almost the end of the spring semester. What have I learned? What have my students learned?
I have learned that eventually you find what you’re supposed to be doing with your life. It may take 20 years, and it may be something you never expected you’d [...]

Nothing excites me more than someone who is as excited about my career as me.
And while I started this post a week ago, I’m still excited about the topic. Last week, Linda Miles, dental practice management guru, came to my school and spoke to the dental assiting students. Listening to her story re-inspired me.
The private [...]
Learning something new
Posted by: dateacher on: March 18, 2009
I love when I can say that I learned something new today. It makes me feel productive and renewed when I learn new things. So far this week – I’ve learned that I can work with what I have an not have to spend money on new things to make my house mine.
My guest room [...]
Asking good questions
Posted by: dateacher on: March 4, 2009
As a teacher, I have to make up tests, quizzes, etc. It’s not particularly something I enjoy. It’s not particularly something I think I’m good at doing. Luckily, the text book we use in the program has a test bank. Unfortunately, the test bank answers don’t always provide the best answers. I find all too [...]
Dentistry in this economy

Used to be when I worked in private practice I had the worry of keeping an appointment book full from day-to-day. I had this daily task during a booming economy. I have to say that I am relieved to not have this task in this economy.
I’ve always said that dentistry is a seasonal business. What [...]

So – it’s a month into my second semester teaching dental assisting students. I’m amazed everyday how much I learn from this experience and hope the students are learning too. Some days I wonder about the students….
I have probably blogged about this before, and I will probably blog about this again….but I’m amazed by their [...]

So you’re a college student. You’ve been given a schedule of classes by the college and then in the classes you have signed up for you have been given a syllabus. In one of your classes, this syllabus contains a modification to the schedule because the size of the class exceeds the size of the [...]
