Teaching and Coaching go so perfectly well together and just compliment each other so beautifully! In my years of teaching, I have learnt that when you teach, it's important to remember that people (no matter what age or skill level) may not GET IT immediately. It is so important to double-check to see if students got it - this is why teachers generally ask if there are any questions afterward...and why they sometimes wait to look for the telltale sign of puzzled looks on students' faces if they dont get any questions afterward.
So basically, after a teacher teaches, it is really important to be able to go back and follow-up with that student and coach them to make sure that they not only got it, but that they are able to implement that in their everyday life.
How can we be sure any student has REALLY understood the material? If they are able to explain it back to the teacher IN THEIR OWN WORDS!
Happy Teaching and Happy Learning! ;)
