teaching / MCI candidates

Walter & Group :

 

 

 

Jim Valle and I had some e-conversation over the value of teaching what you have learned.  I thought I'd pass this on to you MCI candidates.  You will find great value toward passing your test in taking the time to actually teach each concept and task/cast/correction to someone else.  In essence, that is what you will be doing as you are tested with the examiner often taking the position of a casting student.

 

 

 

Jim...

 

That concept....that if you really understand it, you can teach it was carried to the max by Joan Wulff in the instructor course that she used to give a few years ago.

 

She had each of us teach various things she had taught us to a person she brought in who had no knowledge of casting , as the others watched.  She and Floyd would critique our instructing ability right in the field.

 

This concept can be looked at in reverse, as well :  When you teach something, it helps solidify the information and organize it better in your brain.
