Th=
ose Who
Can, Teach!
The old adage says that those who ca=
n do,
those that cannot, teach. Th=
e idea
is that teaching is not a worthy profession. Once, a graduate student was aske=
d about
his future – he responded that “if he couldn’t find anyt=
hing
else, he would teach for a while.”&=
nbsp;
He, like many others, fall victim to the primary myths of teaching.=
This workshop explores the seven =
myths
of teaching. The myths are n=
ot only
held by the general public, but also infiltrate the ranks of teachers. When teachers introduce themselve=
s as
“just a teacher” they are allowing the myths of teaching to rob
them of the enthusiasm, creativity, and generativity<=

of the profession.
Participants of this workshop will r=
enew
their commitment to the craft and will establish a pride and honor in their
work – the most noble of all professions.
